Make Your Happiness List

by Danielle Lauren


What makes you happy? What brings you true joy? Happiness is different for everyone. My recipe for happiness is completely different compared to someone else. Think about all of the things that make you happy. Write them down. Create a list. Just start jotting down whatever comes to mind. Refer to this list whenever you are feeling sad or blue or just in need of a friendly reminder of what makes you happy and cultivate gratitude for it.

For example:

  • walking on the beach on a beautiful day

  • going for a swim in a luxurious pool

  • cuddling with my golden retriever on the couch

  • watching a movie in the middle of a Saturday afternoon

  • seeing my child laugh or smile

  • enjoying a delicious meal

  • sleeping in on a Sunday morning 

  • buying new house plants or flowers and placing them around the home

  • indulging in my favorite ice cream
