from inspirings
1. Turn off your lights and listen to Ludovico Einaudi.
or turn off the lights and just lie there
2. Smile at a stranger and even say hi.
3. Give up your seat on a bus, train, subway.
i do give up my seat for pregnant women or those who have kids with them
4. Put “I Love You Cards” in library books.
5. Make yourself a cup of hot green tea and eat a daifuku.
6. Go through old photos.
7. Look at cute animals doing cute things.
8. Write letters to yourself. Past, present, future.
9. Browse the magazine aisle at Barnes and Noble.
at Powerbooks...
10. Write a 1 year plan, 5 year plan and 10 year plan. Describe your ideal life in intense detail, with figurative language.
11. Give someone a compliment.
12. Let someone tell you about her day. Tell that someone about your day. Then ask that person to tell you about her goals. Tell that someone about your goals.
13. Tutor or mentor someone. It’s more gratifying without pay.
14. Have a delicious vegetarian lunch!
15. Hold open the door for someone.
16. Tell a cute joke. (How do you get a pikachu onto a bus? You poke’m on.)
i think all my jokes are cute, hehe... and i love at my own jokes even if they say you're not supposed to
17. Watch a feel-good movie.
or a movie that amuses you. In my case, when I'm down, I just pop in my Mean Girls DVD (or any Molly Ringwald sweet-sweetan movie) and i'm good
18. Have lunch with your mom.
unfortunately, this has an opposite effect.
19. Pour your heart into your journal. Pound out those words. Then, breathe deeply. And let it go.
20. Write down a list of the nicest things people have said to or about you.
21. Remember a teacher who has made a difference in your life or challenged your perspective in a way that helped you grow as a thinker. Write her or him a letter.
22. Look through fashion magazines and write down inspirational pieces you could own.
23. Write out a business plan. You never know.
24. Scour the web for interesting articles on improving your life.
found a few websites that deal with self-improvement. only, i have yet to read them ;)
25. Read through old journals.
it's always good to take a trip down on memory lane. aaah, the good, ol' days
26. Take a warm shower. Wash your hair with energizing shampoo. Scrub your legs. And then put on soft pajamas.
27. Read quotes from people you admire. You might find you admire them even more.
28. Think, “What would (insert role model) do?”
29. Volunteer at a place to help young kids.
30. Remind yourself that your self-worth is dependent solely on you.
I've done quite a few from this list and I do think that they were gratifying. As I was telling Ycel awhile ago~ happiness is a decision. And since I've decided to take the road to happiness, I began to appreciate the simpler things in life. Yes I still want to become a landlady of leisure, put up my empire, be a shopping housewife/businesswoman and earn my first million before age 30; however, I am not letting my happiness depend on whether or not those aspirations become reality.
Have a nice Wednesday, y'all!
