let's be optimistic in October

Feeling good about the future is important for our happiness. We all need goals to motivate us and these need to be challenging enough to excite us, but also achievable. If we try to attempt the impossible this brings unnecessary stress.
Choosing ambitious but realistic goals gives our lives direction and brings a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when we achieve them.  

Life is far from perfect, but there are lots of reasons for optimism.  Setting positive goals for the future gives our lives a sense of direction and purpose. And although we face many challenges there are also lots of reasons to stay hopeful. By consciously choosing our priorities we can overcome issues, make progress and focus on what really matters.

This months Action for Happiness calendar is called Optimistic October in which we are all being encouraged to find ways to stay hopeful, set positive goals for the future and focus on what really matter – and the Optimistic October calendar is packed with ideas to help you stay hopeful and focused.
