"Candid, thoughtful, spiritually uplifting. For anyone who has lost, felt pain, grieved, been afraid, lonely, here is an opportunity to take a breath and to feel refreshed."
—Ken Bondy, Lawyer, former priest and university ethics professor

101 Ways
to Add Joy to Your Life ©
1. For no reason at all, laugh — as loudly and as ridiculously as you can, using all of your lungs and your body.

2. Wake up before dawn and watch the sun slowly illuminate the sky.

3. Identify someone who needs help and give that help — without sticking around to receive thanks.

4. Read the biography of someone you admire.

5. Enroll in a class to learn a new art or craft.

6. Get good quality stationery and set about writing your memories of the happiest times of your life. Make this your special book of your existence.

7. Turn off the television, shut down the computer and go sit and talk with friends or family members for at least half an hour about what is happening in your lives. 

8. Volunteer to do something to help with a cause you support; it could be sweeping the church floor or answering the telephone at a teen counselling center or greeting guests at an Aids benefit dinner.

9. Start an outdoor garden or get two or three potted plants for your place.

10. Say silently, on the hour, every hour: "Almighty Creator, I give my life to you. Lead me to peace, purpose and joy."

11. Recall the songs that you loved, especially those from childhood, and sing them with the same enthusiasm you had when you first got to know them.

12. In spring or summer, take a sun-bath.

13. In autumn, take a walk and listen to the leaves crackling under your feet.

14. In winter, make a snowman, snowangels or a snowcastle.

15. Buy yourself or prepare yourself your favourite comfort food.

16. Write down the ten things that are most important to you. Ask yourself if you treat them as important in the time and effort you dedicate to them. Ensure that you create harmony between what you think is important in life and how you spend your life.

17. Let a friend or family member massage your scalp. Choose someone with whom this activity would be appropriate.

18. Try some of those exotic fruits you always pass by in the supermarket.

19. Take a computer course.

20. Join a library.

21. Without waiting for a reason to, spread your lips apart and smile.

22. Make your own postcards to send to friends and family.

23. Fill your place with the fragrance of incense, scented oil, scented candles, or fresh flowers and herbs.

24. Join a choir.

25. Write down twenty good things about your life today.
