Happy First Week of the year, beauts!

How’s everything going for you so far? 🙂

Over here I’ve been in awe day in day out.✨✨✨✨

And we are just starting! Such a relief!

If you’ve been following this blog for a while you might remember the last…. 3 years I think…. I was always horrified that a new year entered and I was so.not.ready for it!

As in…. I got kicked into it without wanting to ?

Feels soooooo good to eeeease into a new year, fully expecting it, looking forward to it and feeling the preparation that all the prior years have been to this moment.

So wonderful!

And from that feeling of incubation of the past years and readiness for the new one, came my theme/word for 2017:

Joy

Of course, right? Everything that has some of joy in it is a sure fire way to know we are on the right path.✨

So we are setting the tone this month with joy all around our gadgets and planners to remember that. :))

Yup, that’s right! Your wallpaper packet this month is all about it.

PLUS I have two more tips to keep that JOY flow happening all year round.

Tip #1… as surprising as can be…..

1. Social Media

Nope, I’m not going to tell you to shut down all your accounts and go play in the grass to connect with your essence again.

Although the grass part is a great tip, what I have here for you is more practical in our day-to-day lives.

We do numb browsing a lot, don’t we? Ideally will be NOT to. But even if we don’t completely drop it all, we can make it less damaging to our days with a few adjustments.

Because we do come across posts that upset us, be that about some horrible violent news {with graphics!!!}, or that one person you keep comparing yourself to or the political post that you have been trying so hard to not engage anymore or…. you name it! There’s always something out there that we need a break from.

The solution?

So easy and so overlooked.

Unfollow, mute, and favorites.

Talking about Fb and IG here. On FB business and personal page.

Unfollow or mute peeps that don't light up your day.

And no, they will never know you unfollowed them and if you decide to follow back again they will not be notified either.
{as long as you guys are friends on Facebook! << very important here! If you are not friends they will be notified you are following them}

Now, this cleans up the negative, right?

How to actually bring up the goodness front and center then?

As easy as can be!

Click on "Favorite" on both - Facebook and Instagram.

That ‘lil action will guarantee that ALWAYS the messengers of fun, joy, peace and all the empowerment goodness ARE SHOWN in your feed prominently.

PLUS that assures you to never miss a post from that one inspiring biz page or family member who always gets you to giggle with her silliness online and offline.

FB Biz Pages and Personal Pages look a bit different when you go find those buttons but they both have the same principle.

How awesome is that? 😀

Total control over what happens in your feed!

No need anymore for huge theatricals goodbyes of “I’m-leaving-Facebook-until-the-world-chills-and-I-can-have-cat-videos-only-in-my-feed-again!” {and jumps off the social media cliff}

No need, to abandon your favorite – or one your faves – social media outlets.

Tailor it to your needs, sweets!

Unfollow the downers and bring up the uplifters.

Which….. leads me to the second joy tip of today:

2. A Joy Jar!

Sooooo as I have my Facebook set to bring on the goodness up front, Elizabeth Gilbert’s post popped up first thing in my feed the other day.

In it she’s talking about her Joy Jar {Happiness Jar, I think she calls it} where every single day at the end of the day she writes down in a piece of paper what was the most grateful moment of her day. Pops into the jar and let it roll for the whole year.

Can you imagine the deliciousness of opening up that jar in the last day of 2017 and reading it all?

I am SO excited I saw her post and came here to share with you!

This darling above is going to be my Joy Jar for the year.

And now, look at me and her – my ‘lil jar! Already carrying it like a trophy. 🏆

Even thou – as I type this – it’s the third day of the year I actually had a lot to put for days 1 and 2 and CAN’T WAIT to write one more note tonight. :))

Soooo my love, instead of wishing for a joyful more uplifting year, let’s roll up our sleeves and get it done, shall we?

Those little actions count! I can guarantee you that 🙂

✨Go clean up your Facebook feed and get your Joy Jar rolling!✨

Oh yeah and don’t forget to grab your Joy Wallpaper packet! 🙂
