Manufacture Your Day by STRIVING TO BE HAPPY
Have you ever noticed how happy and excited little children can be? Their laughter and smiles can be contagious, right?
Why does it seem to be so difficult to stay happy as we grow older?
In my coaching sessions and webinars, I always ask if people would like tips on achieving a greater level of happiness. It’s interesting to see their responses, and I have to say that people come ‘alive’ when I talk about it.
Happier people are more productive but that’s not why I bring it up. I simply believe that all of us deserve to be happy and happiness is an “inside job”. I collect as many ideas as I can so that I can share them with the people who are in my circle of influence.
The “Happiness Jar” is one of them. What makes YOU happy? You could do this alone or even make it a family activity.
Do you want some ideas about what you can do?
- play outside
- go to the beach and play in the water
- run outside
- go snow tubing or tobogganing
- walk barefoot (even in the winter – this will wake you up)
- give the gift of time to someone you care about
- surprise someone by doing something nice
- get close to nature and animals
- listen to music
- dance
- hang out with people who make you laugh
- be selfish in order to get your “me time” in
- travel and explore new places (even in your neighbourhood)
- meet new people
- listen to people’s stories
- go for a nice walk in nature and hug a tree (makes you feel grounded and energized)
Start collecting the small and big enjoyments in your life.
Come on, say “yes”! Happiness isn’t only for kids.
Food for Thought:
It’s the little things that make us happy. Be aware!
