Now that is a challenge I would love to be part of, 30 day happier challenge, so so cool.
ReplyDeleteChad, you're awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by, and yes I think this challenge can help so many people. :)
DeleteBeautiful, practical post! I look forward to challenging myself and trying several of these out
ReplyDeleteMany people wish to be happy and they bend over backwards trying to fabricate happiness, but they do not realize that happiness is so simple. And I love this list of yours. Happiness--the one that's lasting and real--comes from within.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do this. I might do it for March!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
i love your list :) Happiness should come from within and be genuine
ReplyDeleteHappiness is always the hardest to find, it involves feelings of inner peace and satisfaction. I wish everyone is happy! Thanks for this post!

A wonderful challenge for mindful living. There are so many valuable items on here that we forget to consciously pay attention to such as enjoying a casual stroll!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge. I think you can always find some happiness in lie if you put at least a tiny bit of thought
ReplyDeleteI've been journaling every day for the past week, and it makes a huge difference! I love it. I'm going to check and see if our local art museum is open these days, since the plague. I know the library isn't, unfortunately. The one I really want to do is the how-to class. That's the perfect suggestion for me, and something I'll be looking for later this afternoon. This is a list that I am going to save and revisit for continued ideas and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great suggestions here. I actually found an online painting class on YouTube that's Halloween themed and let my husband know that we're going to plan our own 'paint night' here at home for date night. It's a relatively cheap option. Most of the supplies can be purchased at the dollar store. The biggest cost is the wine to enjoy while we're painting! Lol
ReplyDeleteI am up for the challenge! These are great tips, sometimes the smallest things make all the difference. I find journalling, mediation and a daily read to be the most helpful for me. But sometimes you just need to try something different - I will definitely try some of these on your list. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful ideas to foster a happier you.
