My Little Book of Happiness
So I was talking about this new method I'm trying with another forumer to help cheer myself up, and thought I may as well share it here, for some creative inspiration. 🙂
The rules are simple. You get a notebook of your choice and every day you put something you like in it that makes you happy. Examples include:
- Photos you like (family photos, photos of your pets etc.)
- Funny memes
- Inspirational quotes
- Poems
- Nice images (landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, etc.)
- Stamps, stickers, bright colours
- Photos of inspirational people (can be movie actors you like or someone in your life.)
- Re-tell a funny story that happened that day
- Funny jokes
- And anything else that brings a smile to your face! 😄
If you keep adding one a day, by the end of the year, you can look back and see all the great things that happened that year. And if you're feeling sad, you can flick through it to bring you some happiness. 🙂

Re: My Little Book of Happiness
I often will consider one or two things when someone asks me what makes me happy... but something like this could let me find out more/new things that make me happy too. 🙂
I like the idea that there may be something out there that one hasn't discovered yet that is a great source of happiness.

No, it's a really lovely idea and something I could imagine you would cherish as well as help you through dark times.

Re: My Little Book of Happiness
What a great idea, @EternalFlame , because sometimes we are in such bad/sad/mixed-up/dark places it is difficult to even remember happy and inspirational things. Hugz.
