BE JOYFUL BY DESIGN GRATITUDE PROJECT

Gratitude is a key ingredient to living a joyful life. The Joyful by Design project documents the things I am grateful for.  I hope you’ll join me by following along on Instagram and sharing the things you are grateful for.

Be Joyful By Design!  You don’t want to leave it to chance.

After all, wouldn’t you  you like to create more joy in your life and sustain it?

Research has shown a key ingredient in living a joyful life is an active gratitude practice.

Active means: pursuing an occupation or activity at a particular place or in a particular way.

Practice means: to carry out or perform (a particular activity, method, or custom) habitually or regularly.

You, and I, can help sustain joy in life through a regular, active pursuit of gratitude.

So, I started a new gratitude project some time ago and just recently decided to start sharing it with the world.  It’s called the Be Joyful by Design Project and I hope you’ll join me. Information on how to do that is in FAQs below.

How The Project Works

Why a project?

A project is an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim. 

The aim of this project is to create more joy in my life.

How Does The Project Work?

Here’s how the Joyful by Design project works:

  1. Every day I will photograph at least one thing I am grateful for.
  2. Starting Feb. 15, 2022, and hopefully every day through at least the end of the year, I’ll share one of these photographs on the Joyful by Design Instagram channel.
