We’re a week into October already, so I’m a bit late to share this, but I recently stumbled on the Optimistic October calendar produced by Action for Happiness, and I love it. It’s just a simple idea each day to try and feel a bit happier and why not? It’s been a while since I did a 30 day challenge but this one seems a worthy contender.

A couple of favourites:

• You can’t do everything! What are your top three priorities right now?
• Look out for positive news and reasons to be cheerful today
• Ask yourself, will this still matter a year from now?
• Put down your to-do list and do something fun or uplifting
