THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY


 
 
 
 
 
Do five of those things every single day. Give a hug. Get a hug. Kiss a child, read a book, play a practical joke, or sing in the shower. Eat a cookie, exercise or meditate. Whatever makes you happy, do five of them every day, without fail. Sure, it takes some discipline, but you're worth it!

Be productive every day. Do some actual work. Do some productive, meaningful work every day. Get things done. If it's related to your career and makes you money, great! Do something productive, important, and meaningful. Make a difference every day.

Do a good deed. Give someone a hand, or make a phone call. Send a thoughtful card or an encouraging email. Help an old lady cross the street or help a child with their homework. Give of yourself in a way that makes the world a better place for someone else.

Laugh out loud. Life's a crazy, ridiculous affair and there is certainly much to laugh about. If nothing else, just look in the mirror! Tell a joke or hear one. And don't just chuckle politely. Be insane! Be daring and actually laugh. Put your whole body into it. Laugh out loud! I think you'll enjoy it.

Be grateful. Every day, write a few entries in your gratitude journal. Before bed, take a moment to notice what went right, what you're grateful for, the good luck or blessing or joy that touched you during the day. Write it down in a notebook so you can keep track.
