What Are Your FUN Ways that Build Happiness?

Sharing some of mine, would love to hear about yours!

Yes, building happiness does not have to be all hard work, there are fun ways too.

What are your fun ways, my dear readers?

These come to mind for me:

Savoring pleasant experiences. Whether it is a small one (staring at the beautiful night sky) or a bigger one (a dream vacation), I try not to just passively experience them, and make a point of actively taking them all in;

Creating a hand-made gift. Gifting boosts the mood of the giver to begin with; Making the gift by hand? That doubles down the pleasures!!

.

One special kind of giving: Giving thanks, a sure way of boosting mood, and easy to do… There are always people or things that I feel thankful for, even just for some small favor, or seeing a new leaf in the Spring.

Cuddling with a loved one, or a furry friend. Cuddling increases serotonin (the happy chemical) and promotes healing, among other benefits.

Planting a garden, that’s my favorite! Or even just growing a plant at the windowsill. Watching things grow under my care is always great fun. They said, “If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden”. What if you plant a garden, or grow some plants at the windows, year after year?

I could continue but would love to hear about your fun ways too….
