Happy Words

I just read an article about the differences between happy and unhappy people. It was a good read, but nothing earth shattering as I am sure you have heard most of this before, but it was a great reminder!

Here are my takaways from the read:

• savor the present
• count your blessings
• focus on your own progress and praise others on theirs
• surround yourself with optimistic people who will encourage you to achieve your goals
• it’s impossible to please everyone - never seek anyone’s approval but your own
• talk less and listen more
• take the time to see and talk to your family, friends, or significant other
• eat foods that will keep your mind and body in good shape
• exercise raises happiness levels just as much as medication
• live minimally
• always be truthful, and never apologize for it
• choose your own destiny
• accept the fact that life is not fair

I made bold the ones that I need to work on the most... so, I am thankful for my health, I am happy with what I have accomplished in my career, I need to clean out the attic, and I am OK with not getting paid for overtime - sort of. :)

Have an amazing day!
