If someone seems like they're spending Saturday night alone, be sure to invite them to join you for your plans if at all possible. You'll make someone feel wanted, welcome, and you will feel good too!

Never pass by an empty swing set without swinging.

When someone does something nice for you, be sure to verbally express your appreciation, especially if they went out of their way. If you're the one who went out of your way, open your heart fully to the appreciation. It will make your heart sing.

Making some small changes to your morning routine can make you more creative and thus HAPPIER. http://ideas.time.com/2012/02/01/why-morning-routines-are-creativity-killers/?hpt=hp_c2

One thing that makes me really happy and I've been doing it for years with my family, is at dinner we each take turns saying what were the worst and best parts of our day. I love this tradition and that we spend that time as a family.

I created my very own meditation room. I love it. Any ideas? I've never had a room like this before and it makes me happy!

Every so often, give yourself as much sleep time as you REALLY need.

Make time for your friends - really listen to what they're saying, throw in a nice gesture at least once a month (can be a phonecall as opposed to a text), but BE PRESENT.

Go to gym with your friends and to the exercise together, it will be happier than go by yourself. or you can go to aerobics class. it will be even more fun!

Treat yourself to a mini holiday. Listening to a guided imagery/guided meditation is such a treat for me. It's a great escape from a busy day or if I'm feeling stressed. You can download them free from utube. Try it!!
