How to identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)
"I think it's invaluable to stop and gather a list of things that bring you simple pleasures and moments of peace, that way you have an arsenal with which to disarm a saddened heart or disheartened spirit."
How I did it:
I just took the time to reflect on things in my life that make me feel happy, content, encouraged, hopeful, or wondrous. I thought about simpler things in my life which matter to me, and make me feel alive, and enriched. I think it's very much about changing your attitude to your daily life - to stop and smell the flowers, as the cliche goes.
Lessons & tips:
- reflecting on your childhood will bring back a flood of memories of happy moments
- think about the people in your life that you always feel happy to be around - why do they make you feel that way?
- your dreams and inner life will give you ideas: what are some of those things you like to do when you are all by yourself?
Resources:
- a pen, some paper, and a bit of peace and quiet.
