What Makes You Happy? #lifebeginsatbreakfast
I am usually a positive person, always looking at the bright side. Everyone around me would say that I’m a happy person, I usually have a big smile on my face.
I was challenged by Dorset Cereals to write a blog post highlighting what makes me happy. They believe life begins at breakfast, I agree, breakfast is the most important meal of the day in my opinion.
Breakfast is the perfect time to set a positive intention and tone for the day, and take a moment to appreciate the good things around us. I was encouraged to sit down for breakfast, enjoy some yummy Dorset Cereals and come up with my top 5 happiness actions. So here they are:
My Top 5 Happiness Actions: What makes me happy?
- Appreciate Loved Ones
Life can get very busy sometimes, and we can get too involved with home and work commitments, but we need to make an effort to stop the madness and appreciate our loved ones. A simple ‘I love you’, followed by a kiss and a cuddle, will remind our partners and children that we love them.
- Look back at Achievements
In this busy life, we are often aiming at our next goals, and sometimes we forget to stop and appreciate everything we have achieved so far. It is important to look back and feel proud of what you have done so far to get where you are today.
- Live, Love and Laugh
Don’t take life too serious, try to live, love and laugh every single day. Live every moment, enjoy every mouthful, love your family and friends beyond words, and share happy moments with them every day. There is no harm in being silly and laughing at yourself every now and then.
- Simple Pleasures in Life
One of our best family days out was out in the park, enjoying the simple pleasures in life, smelling beautiful flowers, picking conkers and balancing on a wall. You don’t need to spend loads of money to have fun, you can enjoy nature around you for free.
- Spread the Joy
Be happy, smile, and give hugs. I am aware that not everyone loves cuddles like me, so I usually ask ‘is it ok if I give you a hug?’. I never got a ‘no’ as an answer before, usually my question is greeted with a lovely smile. Spread the joy and happiness with those around you. If they don’t like cuddles, you can always give them cake!
