What are some things that make you happy? What are some things that make you unhappy? What kind of things can change your outlook or mood instantly?
Today we discussed a little bit about this in our class discussion.
Some things that can make us happy might be a person, family, friends, or happy children.
For others it might be a material item, maybe new shoes, a new car, or even a new job.
It could also just be something we don’t really notice, like a friendly greeting, a compliment, or just a sunny day.
What makes you unhappy?
Perhaps bad weather, losing a sports contest, or even just a bad meal.
However we really don’t want to think of negative thoughts.
So when you are feeling sad or angry, what things can instantly make you feel happy again?
Perhaps a cute animal, a good cookie, or just a friendly smile?
As for me, whenever I feel stressed out, I try to think happy thoughts if possible. I usually think of my pet dog. He always brings a smile to my face.
