Looking forward to reading 'Leave The Lights On'. As if I needed another reason for biking. Biking leads to happiness and joy, and also contributes to #ClimateChangeAction which can also lead to joy and happiness. Time to move from despair to hope/happiness. #Bike #MultiSolvingTool #PositiveEmotions

Congratulations to @dunnhappylab.bsky.social and @jiayingzhao.bsky.social on their new book, out today!

Leave the Lights On helps us see climate action as an opportunity to build a brighter future, without giving up the things that bring us joy. 😀 🌍

In the image, there is a woman who appears to be standing. She has short hair and is wearing a red dress. The dress has ruffles on it, which adds texture and detail to her outfit. The woman is smiling, suggesting a positive or happy emotion at that moment. There are no other objects or people visible in the image, so the focus is solely on her. The background of the image is not described, but since she is standing, we can infer there might be some space around her, possibly an indoor setting with enough room for her to stand comfortably. This suggests that she might be in a good mood or experiencing positive emotions at that moment. Her smile could be interpreted as friendly or approachable, but without more context or specific details about her facial features, it's difficult to provide a more precise description of her expression.

Being mindful of how you feel—especially the good stuff helps you grow, connect, and heal.
Start with a Smile. Breathe. Appreciate.

Each day gives us a choice: to dwell in the negative or attune to what is good. It’s not about ignoring reality—it’s about choosing where to place your heart.

#Tarot #CardoftheDay: 4 of Cups Rx. The clouds of boredom/ennui are clearing. A surge of #PositiveEmotions will lead you out of the doldrums. As your mood lifts, what is it that you are eager to freshly reengage with and anticipate #FindingJoy in doing so? #RiderWaiteTarot @usgamesinc.bsky.social
A man with short dark hair wearing a red long sleeved blouse, an olive green jerkin and blue leggings, sits under a tree, arms crossed across his chest, looking down at three gold chalices in front of him. He does not see a chalice proffered mid-air by a disembodied hand protruding from a gray cloud. (Image on the left is a reversal of the image on the right described above).
