30 Days to Greater Happiness

Filed under: 30 Days To... — gardener @ 11:40 am

Just as I promised- here I am with more tips on 30 Days to Greater Happiness. Today I have a few things of my own that make me happy, such as having all of my work done by the time we had dinner tonight, and Marcel going out with JJ while I did the dishes. Right now, as I type this JJ is napping, which affords me a little peace and quiet time. It’s so blissful. I’d almost forgotten what that kind of time was like.

Once I finish this, I’ll probably toss on a jacket over my PJ’s (Yes I’m in my PJ’s) and hope I can make it outside and back with the little four-legged pup before the storms roll through again. One thing is for sure, and that’s that I need a rain coat. Tomorrow is another work-filled day, so right now I’m trying to make the most out of every moment that I have. We should do that with all our days though, shouldn’t we?

30 Days to Greater Happiness

November 3- Develop your spirituality. Research shows that people who are spiritual tend to be both happier and healthier than those who are not. Consider meditation, spiritual readings, prayer or other religious practices.

November 4- Cultivate Friendships. The happiest people spend the least time alone. Attend social gatherings, host a party, and call your friends to catch up as often as possible.

Aren’t these great? More tomorrow.

I’ve been crazy busy all day so I haven’t had much of a chance to do the 30 Days to Greater Happiness, which means that y’all will get two tomorrow. I’ve been trying to play catch up, plus I had Bible Study today. I also tried to updated our navigation system only for it to tell me that we didn’t have enough space to update the newest map, which means I’ve got to order a micro sd card to allow extra space for maps. It will make things much, much easier.

More from me tomorrow, including the 30 days to greater happiness for today and tomorrow.

Chow for now!

30 Days to Greater Happiness

I haven’t really made it a secret that I’ve been struggling a little as of late. Ok, maybe it’s even more than a little, but I am still trying to dig myself out of this deep, dark hole that I’m in. Slowly, but surely I know this will pass.

Because I know that nothing happens as an accident, I couldn’t help but smile this morning when I opened my email and found one from SparkPeople about spending November working your way towards greater happiness. Even though I am a happy person on the whole, I thought it couldn’t hurt to put these little things into practice.

Because I also love to share things that I think could possibly benefit another person, I’m going to share them with y’all as well. This means I’ll be sharing one each day for the rest of the month. Since today is the 2nd of November- I’ll add the one for today and yesterday, so we’ll be caught up.

Thank you Spark People.

30 Days to Greater Happiness-

November 1-Start a hobby. People who engage in captivating activities are more satisfied with life. Lose yourself (and your worries) by cooking, dancing, sewing or writing.

November 2- Get Plenty of Sleep. Keep a consistent sleep schedule and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night for more energy and less moodiness.

Now that JJ is sleeping through the night, I’m actually getting back on the sleep track, but I could definitely spend somre more time with my hobbies. I’m going to do just that. It’s time to read more, take more pictures, and make some jewelry. Who knows, maybe I’ll even pull out my paints again. I’ve also been in the mood to bake- time to do something with those bananas.. Banana muffins anyone?
