‘Optimistic October’ is the theme for this month's Action for Happiness calendar. This month’s tips revolve around helping you focus on what really matters. Whether it’s ticking a task of a list or prioritising what’s most important to you, these prompts will help you achieve some calm and clarity in your day to day.

The calendar is just one resource produced by Action for Happiness, an organisation who support taking proactive steps to optimal mental health and wellbeing. We know that our mental health can fluctuate over time - just as our physical health does - so it is important to take steps which will support overall good health.
