JOY Plan 2020

What's a JOY Plan?

We are in day 39485739473628454943 of this pandemic and next week there is a big election. The universe is showing me how to survive this next week by having three different people tell me about something called a JOY Plan. (Thank you Angela, Jen O, and Kelly!) 

It's what it sounds like- purposefully and explicitly planning for moments of JOY. 

First of all, this does not mean that I will be happy and sunshine, unicorns and rainbows Michelle next week. NO. It doesn't mean that I am not aware of the struggles we are all plagued with. NO. This is a survival technique. I know those words sound dramatic, but let me assure you, they are not. We are all struggling and grieving for our lives pre-pandemic. Constant stress is not good for any of us. I see the results in my life, but I needed help seeing those results because when you live with something for so long, it becomes your new normal. 

This JOY Plan (#haseltineJOYplan) is my attempt at dealing with the stress and bringing more purposeful moments of JOY into my days. 

I hope you join me. Consider this your invitation! I will be posting ideas and resources for all to use. Please share resources or ideas if you have them. We can never have too many! 

​Onward to discover our JOY!

Michelle, thank you so much for sharing this idea. I started thinking about how I might incorporate the JOY plan with the November gratiku challenge. I’m finding I need more than a week’s worth of survival techniques. You always share some of the best ideas. I am so grateful to know you and write with you. (((HUGS)))

Love this! I like how you framed your Joy Plan. It’s not a denial of what’s happening, but an affirmation that we’re all experiencing lots of joyless moments and we need a plan to get more joy into our lives. I’m in!
