If you have the winter blah’s or are just feeling a bit down or depressed, here’s a very simple way to boost your spirits and put you on the road to happiness. Research studies have shown that one of the best ways to give a boost to your happiness meter is to remind yourself of those things in your life that are good and positive. Here’s what you can do:
1. Write It Down. Spend a few minutes each day to think of a blessing in your life, or a moment during the day where something positive happened or someone said something to you that made you feel good, or something that made you laugh. Write it down either in your journal or on a slip of paper. If you use slips of paper to write your blessings on, put these into a “blessing bowl” or jar in a prominent place in your home. Another way to keep your blessings close to you is to slip your list into your wallet or purse.
2. Share Your Blessings. To get the most out of your blessings and maximum boost to your spirits, you should share your blessings with other. Don’t be afraid to tell someone about something that has made you happy or of a new blessing in your life. This is a great activity for a family around the dinner table or during family night. Sharing your blessings can open up the topics for discussion and also provides opportunities for families or friends to help one another.
By writing down those things in your life that have blessed you or made you happy you will reinforce the positive in your life. It is no secret that you will benefit even more by sharing these things with your family and friends. Spend some time today thinking of what your life has been blessed with and share it with someone! You’ll be amazed at how much better you will feel.
