Since mood affects health, I've been trying to make some changes in my life. August seems to be the perfect month to concentrate on happiness. I don't think I was born a pessimist, but was in training from the minute I was born. Can that be changed sixty-some-odd years later? I hope to get some tips from those of you who are naturally happy and optimistic.
Here is a list of tips to get into happiness awareness before the first of the month.
ReplyDeleteAll great advice. Must be why I'm so happy.
Have a fabulous day, Marti. ♥
Those are all great tips ! Some are easier than other to put in action. We tried to implement #5 weekly since a few years, and it works ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, when people start gossiping I ask if it were them being talked about how would they feel.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a beautiful week.

That's a very good list. I think the gratitude one is the key one for me. Plus I think you have to have had some rough times to really appreciate the good times.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea August had its own theme! But I like it! One thing I have been working on that really helps my "happiness" is to stop myself any time I start comparing myself to other people, or thinking that I am somehow in competition with them. Maybe those are sub-items under "Design your own life". Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't known it ❤
ReplyDeleteI was born a natural optimist but life has knocked it out of me. Now I fight to be happy. The best advice I have ever received has been from listening to Jordan Peterson. I clean my room.

I think everyone is born an optimist, but it was knocked out of me pretty early in life. I have finally learned that happiness is a choice and I have to keep making it.
