What makes us happy? Turns out – little things do. At least, this is what we have learned surveying our users.
We want to share this list with you. Perhaps, you will like some of these ideas.
So, we become happier when we:
1. …notice that our house plant blooms
2. …see a close person smiling
3. …hug someone
4. …look forward to something pleasant (a nice dinner, an interesting conversation, a vacation)
5. …lay down in bed on crispy clean sheets
6. …listen to our favorite playlist
7. …swing on a swing set (or otherwise allow ourselves to be playful like a child)
8. …set a nice table for lunch or dinner (even if just for ourselves)
9. …receive a postcard or a letter
10. …visit places that charge us with energy
11. …light up candles, aroma lamps, turn on Christmas lights – we create a little space of coziness and safety
12. …watch favorite TV series or read a favorite book on the couch
13. …do something creative: painting, playing music, singing
14. …listen to the sound of rain outside
15. …take care of our body – getting a massage, doing stretches, taking a hot bubble bath
Self-therapy can be an essential tool for personal growth and self-improvement.
