Happiness … there’s an app for that! 4 simple steps to happiness:
Step 1: So, how are you?
Step 2: If the answer is “HAPPY” … great … act like it! Put down your phone and live.
Step 3: If the answer is “Not so Happy” move on to Step 4.
Step 4: Look around.
Step 4.1: Notice all you have. Maybe it’s not all you want but I bet it’s all you need for today.
Step 4.2: Notice all you CAN do. I bet that outweighs the things you can’t do. Focus on the list of CANS.
Step 4.3: Change all you HAVE to do to all you GET to do. Do you really HAVE to wash the dishes, or do you GET to wash the dishes because your family had food today? Do you HAVE to do the laundry or do you GET to do the laundry because you have clothes … and a lot of them. Do you HAVE to go pick up your kids or … well you know where I’m going with that!
Step 4.4: Remember all of this can be gone tomorrow.
Now, are you feeling HAPPY? The Happiness App … everybody needs one!
*(no, this is not a real app, just a simple reminder and practice I use daily in my life and it keeps me one happy, happy, happy girl!)
