As you know, I really dropped the ball on this 30 Days to Greater Happiness. I hope none of you were depending on those. Forgive me for that, I’ve been a little distracted, and it looks like it’s only going to get worse.
I did want to make sure that you were able to see them all, so I’ve added the rest of the month below-
November 18- Help Others.– Sharing your time or talents with the less fortunate can help you
appreciate how much you truly have and feel better about your circumstances.
November 19- Beat Stress. Life’s difficulties can take a toll on your mood. But stress busters like
exercising, talking to a friend, and journaling can help clear your head and calm you down.
November 20- Get Some Sun. Sunlight improves your mood and can help prevent the onset of seasonal depression. Don’t forget the SPF!
November 21- Maintain Your Health.– The healthier you are, the more likely you are to be happy. Eating right, exercising, getting preventive care, and reducing your stress level can all enhance health and happiness.
November 22- Spend Time Outside. Getting closer to nature can help you feel more connected to the world at large. Spend time outside today walking, biking, picnicking, or raking, or planting a tree.
November 23- Just Say No. If you’re already overworked and overscheduled, don’t take on more tasks in order to please others. You have to remember to please yourself too.
November 24- Create a mantra. Does a particular word, phrase or quote make you feel better? Make it your mantra. Write it, think it, and repeat it any time you need a little perspective or a pickme- up.
November 25- Connect with Your Family. Make time for your loved ones, partner and children each day. Reminisce, celebrate, and just have fun together! Enrich your life with family memories for greater purpose and satisfaction.
November 26- Do Your Best. Your accomplishments are important and deserve recognition, so be proud of a job well done. Mastering skills and meeting goals can increase your own self-esteem and self-worth.
November 27- Grow a Garden. Watching plants grow and thrive under you care is a great experience! Dig in with cheer, knowing you’re beating stress, becoming more active, and surrounding your home with beauty.
November 28- Make a Donation. Clear the clutter in your home and give all those “extras” you don’t use to someone who needs them. By downsizing, organizing and giving, you’ll help yourself and others at the same time.
November 29- Laugh Out Loud Visit a comedy club or watch a funny show. Laughing makes you feel good, so make time for fun and humor every day.
November 30- Ask for Help.. If You Need It. If you feel unhappy most of the time, talk to a therapist, career counselor, or spiritual advisor to help you find what makes you happy.
