JOY

Joy is delight, jubilation. It is a feeling of deep pleasure and great happiness. 

Inspiration for nurturing joy

  • Make a playlist of happy songs and, if you’re able, dance often.

  • More often than not, surround yourself with positive people. 

  • Laugh every day. Watch funny videos online. Share memes that make you smile. Listen to a hilarious audiobook or podcast.

  • Meditate. The Calm 7 Days of Happiness meditation series will help make a practice of joy.

  • Love your people. Send a love text to someone. Or write and mail a real love letter. Notice how your heart feels.

  • As part of your bedtime routine, write down three things that made you feel grateful from your day.

Self-reflection

What brings me joy?

““Taking in the good, whenever and wherever we find it, gives us new eyes for seeing and living.” ”

About Calm Cards 
About Calm Cards 

We created these cards as a way to intentionally cultivate the qualities that support us in showing up for ourselves and others, in ways that feel nourishing and meaningful. 

We encourage you to engage with the Calm Cards in whatever way feels best. Here are a few ways that we love to use them:

  • Pick a card in the morning to set an intention for the day

  • Pick a card on a Sunday to set an intention for the week

  • Pick a card on the first day of the month to set an intention for the month

  • Pick a card when you’re feeling stuck, to see what happens when you infuse more of that quality into your day

  • Pick a card when you’re struggling with another person to explore what qualities might bring more ease into your relationship

  • Pick a card and use it as journaling prompt

  • Pick a card and use it in your meditation practice

  • Pick a card to use with a partner or group — like a book club, but an intention club; connect daily or weekly or monthly and share your experiences

  • Send a card to a friend who may need some inspiration

Check out the entire collection of Calm Intentions here.

We’ve also put all of the cards in a lovely booklet for you to use as a mindfulness tool, a journal full of inspiration for your practice. Download the Calm Intentions Journal here!
