Love this! I gave it a go - did struggle to get to 20 things though and most of the things that bring me joy I have not been doing recently. Made me think I really need to put myself first sometimes and focus on what brings joy. Thank you! X

Tony Robbins! When I was going through separation/divorce around 16 years ago, a friend gave me a set of his CDs to work through. I was so sceptical but found them so useful! I’ve measured every “self help” thing I’ve come across since against them. There is an ability innate to some people which is to live in that moment of joy. I am reminded of the film version of Winnie the Pooh when they are having a party for him and he has cutlery in his hands, eyes closed, head ticking from side to side, beatific smile in his face, totally in the moment. I aspire to this!

I love this! Thank you for sharing. For me, it can be easy to forget the joyous times when in the depths of dark times. I love your idea of taking yourself out to lunch on your own. I also love doing this and it is something I need to do more often. You writing this brings me joy!
