<p>This may not be a great time to be alive, but it is always great to see how makers are attempting to gently guide us through these challenging days with our sanity and senses intact. Take the new Calendar of Good from <a href="https://freeperiodpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://freeperiodpress.com/">Free Period Press.</a> Guided by the notion that there is no better way to stop dwelling on what&#8217;s wrong by remembering what&#8217;s right, this wire-o calendar is dramatically different than its traditional timekeeping counterparts. </p>



<p>As the introduction sagely points out, &#8220;If you&#8217;re a human being living on Planet Earth right now, the world can seem &#8230; bad. Not only does bad news attract more eyeballs, it also sticks around longer in our brain because of something called negativity bias. (It was more important for our evolutionary ancestors to remember and learn from near death experiences than to remember the lovely flowers they saw on their walk that day.) But good things (large and small) are happening all around us. It&#8217;s up to us to notice and keep them top of mind. We created this calendar to capture those everyday, ordinary nuggets of magic.&#8221;</p>

<p>The overall concept couldn’t be simpler: At the end of each day, write down one positive moment. &#8220;We wanted to make creating a gratitude habit as easy and lovely as possible, so we kept the calendar to just one line a day,&#8221; explained Free Period Press Founder Lora DiFranco. &#8220;At the end of the year, folks will be left with a keepsake of 365 nice things that they can flip through for an instant pick-me-up.&#8221; ;</p>

<p>Introduction and end-of-year pages frame the months of the year, each of which features an uplifting quote and a scientific fact about wholehearted living, It&#8217;s probably the easiest way to start a gratitude practice that I have come across, and the more time that elapses, the more meaningful these trips down memory lane become. </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-41085" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-41085 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="41085" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10013473 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-noted-2 tag-boxed-notes tag-cards tag-design tag-faire tag-greeting-card-association tag-greeting-cards tag-lauren-te-velde tag-paper-farm-press tag-perpetual-calendar tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-stickers tag-tea-towel" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-finest-fruit-of-all/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?w=1920&;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=850%2C850&;ssl=1 850w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=770%2C770&;ssl=1 770w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=120%2C120&;ssl=1 120w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1536&;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=275%2C275&;ssl=1 275w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=372%2C372&;ssl=1 372w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=567%2C567&;ssl=1 567w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=882%2C882&;ssl=1 882w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=752%2C752&;ssl=1 752w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=1382%2C1382&;ssl=1 1382w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Untitled-6-3.jpeg?resize=50%2C50&;ssl=1 50w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-finest-fruit-of-all/">The Finest Fruit of All</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2023-06-20T13:58:34+00:00">June 20, 2023</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10013473"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>

<p>These are printed in the USA using solar energy, and since they are undated, they are perpetual calendars that can be started whenever you want. Best of all, I can&#8217;t think of a better gift to give someone — ;especially the proverbial person who already has everything. Get yours <a href="https://freeperiodpress.com/products/calendar-of-good-365-opportunities-to-remember-good-things-large-and-small" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://freeperiodpress.com/products/calendar-of-good-365-opportunities-to-remember-good-things-large-and-small">here</a>, and you too will be on your way to slowing down, noticing the good and — best of all — ;creating more of it.</p>
