How to identify 100 things that make me happy.
It made me
thankful
 "This was the most simple and efficient way to boost my mood, and remind me why I should be thankful"
How I did it: loved doing this... when I started I couldn't think of 3 things that made me happy because I was in a terrible state of mind/soul. But then I forced myself to rethink every aspect of my life - and found beauty in simplicity - again. The list is so beautiful that a simple glance at it can make me feel soooo good & love life even more:)

It made me
happy
How I did it: This is one of the best self-knowledge exercises ever. Finding out what makes us happy let us realize that happiness is something very common on our lives. We just don't notice it and consequently don't value it. We should be more aware of our feelings and let the small little things make us happy no matter what. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: First I tried to just make a list but I found it difficult to get to 100 as I was repeating things or listing things that were too similar.Then yesterday I came up with ten categories and wrote things for each category. The categories were: Things I see; Things I hear; Things I taste; Things I smell; Things I touch; Nature; People; Places; Activities (Things I do); Fictions (film, TV, books and games). I aimed for ten in each categor… Read how I did it…

It made me
gooey
How I did it: I believe the best thing about this list was the process of writing it. Though I was painstakingly slow in finishing, it really feels like this list has become part of my life. I was forced into some real retrospection, which lead to real-time world inspection. Basically I injected happiness through my eyeballs.[Considering how long I took to do this, I feel like I just scaled a mountain.] Read how I did it…

It made me 
How I did it: I was bored, took out my journal, and just started listing 100 things that make me happy/smile/laugh. I just realized that many of the things made me content, but it was harder to pinpoint a good number of things that truly made me happy. Read how I did it…
It made me
conscious
How I did it: I wrote one little thing that made me happy each day, then examined it at the end of the 100 days - now I try to consciously acknowledge when one of those little things is occurring in my life. Acknowledgement and conscious gratitude are very powerful. Read how I did it…

Smartest snail birdwatching with the girl...
64-67
1 day ago
64. naps. A nice nap in the middle of the day on a Saturday, or like today because I have off…best feeling ever and something to look forward to.
65. showers. To me, its like washing the day away. I have the regulated flow so sometimes I wish I didnt, but even still, that water flowing over your head and shoulders at the end of a long day is a great feeling.
66. Napster. Its what I listen to at work. I even set up “work” playlists depending on what mood Im in.
67. water fowl. I am going to go down toward Lake Erie today, closer to Canada to see what water fowl I can see. Ducks, loons, mergansers, scaups….they were the first set of birds I got interested in. Gonna take some time today to revisit my love for them. Hope theyre out…idiots with fireworks the last few days…ugh. Thats a common loon with its baby on its back. So beautiful.

67. A 3 day weekend
1 day ago
I love when the holiday is on Saturday because I get off from work on Friday. I can schedule holiday stuff (and my sister’s birthday) for Saturday and still have 2 days for me-stuff.
First priority tomorrow? SLEEP!

100 things that make me happy #71-80
2 days ago
71. Shopping at a grocery store
72. Falling sleep while I’m listening music
73. Moving home
74. Creating beautiful things
75. Finding new, awesome music
76. Finding something that inspires me to think, read, or become a better person
77. Walking barefoot
78. The smell of rain
79. Listening to a Beirut’s song
80. Collecting media cards
66- I know this is not something to be proud of I mean, who really admits to liking pissing people off? But I do, when someone gets me really angry, especially when I’m at work. By acting like they are better than me or insinuate that I’m stupid or ruining my life by working as a cashier then I either A) act REALLY REALLY nicely, make them seem like a jerk and piss them off. Or I B) screw up their credit card transaction or drop their money on the floor. It’s vindictive, it’s cruel and I don’t even care about the karma. The three seconds of joy I get from knowing their a little bit more miserable is worth it.
67- Proving someone wrong, when someone tells me I CAN’T do something that it is IMPOSSIBLE I just go the extra mile to make it happen I love it when I get the satisfaction of knowing I am right
68- Completing a big project right before the deadline! Nothing spells out happiness for me when I can put things off until the last possible minute and still finish it ontime. I know the real world is going to suck but I’ll learn sometime.
69- folding paper cranes
70- finding pennies! This always makes me happy.
71- Wishing on stuff, shooting stars, 11:11, eyelashes, broken bracelets, birthday candles, money wells, lightning bugs it doesn’t matter. I love wishes.
