A list for you...
I was trying to think of something to distract me from feeling down the other day. While I know everything is not all about me and how I feel (well, maybe sometimes ;D), I do need some cheering up every once in a while. I wanted to share a couple of things that have work for me.
A list of 20 things that cheer me up:
1. Spend some time with my pet - from petting to playing
2. Enjoying a nature walk - taking time to enjoy whats around me
3. Laughing with my siblings - loving my family
4. A clean house - being able to fully relax
5. Listening to kids using their imaginations - the power of wonder
6. The kindness of others - knowing that they will do what I do for them
7. Finishing a goal - what doesn't feel better
8. A big hug and an <3 I love you - feeling loved is the best medicine
9. A sunny day - soaking up the warm rays
10. Unexpected gifts - surprises ohh man
11. A call from my mom - the person who loves me the most
12. Taking photographs - seeing everything differently
13. Trying something new - Learning what your limits are
14. Reading a good book - filling my mind with images I dream up
15. A big hug from my dad - nothing makes me feel safer
16. A compliment - a boost in your self esteem
17. Coffee brewing in the morning - starting off with a clear mind
18. A new hoodie - the softness just wraps around just right
19. Visiting with Friends - who else can make you feel better
20. Colors, sights, designs, beauty - seeing it through my eyes its magical
Some of these you can do yourself, some you have to wait til others take it upon themselves to do. The BEST part of all this is when you surprise someone else with a cheer up idea and you begin spreading the happiness and it just goes on from one person to the next! Please comment and tell me the things that make you feel better!
Singing with my adorable neices. That's what always makes me feel better no matter what is going on in life. :)
