It can make a huge difference if we’re feeling isolated in our pain. Connection really is the magical thing that can impact our lives and the people we care for.
This calendar is a lovely idea from Action for Happiness. Download it, print it out and take care of yourself this September.

Action for Happiness publishes mindfulness-based calendars each month on different themes. It doesn’t really matter about using the correct month, you could just choose a theme and follow it in whatever month you are in.
