Quote: Things That Make You Happy

This happiness quote is a way to connect with yourself today. Everyone needs to be more mindful. Are you connected with the things that make you happy?

You can also use this as a journal prompt. Did you know that happiness is something you can create. Really, you can. You can add it to your life, like a spoonful of sugar in a bitter cup of coffee. Anyone can make lemonade out of lemons. Making lists like this one is one perfect way to get your creative juices flowing and feel better. With the topic of things that make you happy, you can create a feeling of serenity even when you’re down just by writing down a few words. Remembering the things that once made you happy can help you create more happiness by repeating it, not just unlocking it for a few moments. This is the beauty of journaling. Think of something and then act on it. Note to self. You might journal with a cool beverage in a quiet place.

Read about what their research and real-life experience have taught them; then use their wisdom and advice to boost your own joy.
