Ways to CHOOSE-GIVE-INSPIRE JOY

The mission of Joy Squad is to provide everyone with “simple” ways they can choose joy, give joy, or inspire joy every day, week, or month.  The following suggestions are based on Joy Squad members’ recommendations and experiences.

• Leave water or treats out to your delivery drivers: USPS, Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc.
• Send someone a hand-written thank you or thinking about you note.
• Tuck a post-it note on your coworker’s computer with encouraging or kind words.
• Find a way to thank your sanitation workers.
• Give a genuine and sincere compliment to a stranger.
• Bake cookies or something sweet for your neighbors or coworkers.
• Be a good tipper (and maybe leave a nice note on the receipt.)
• Express gratitude to the manager for exceptional customer service.
• Donate – not just financially, but with clothes, blankets, heaters, etc.
• Volunteer to read to students or seniors.
• Give flowers to someone for no reason at all.
