Make a list of things that make you happy
Start by making a list of at least five things that you enjoy doing.
From something as simple as listening to music or journaling to more social activities like spending time with friends and family, the options are endless.
Allow yourself to explore different interests and hobbies to determine what resonates with you the most. Start by making a list of five specific things that bring you happiness. These could be moments, experiences, or objects that have a positive impact on your overall well-being.
Make a list of things you do everyday
Take a moment and write down all the things you do every single day. You know, your regular routine from when you wake up in the morning to when you go to sleep at night.
Include weekdays and weekends to get the full picture!
Compare the lists
Now let’s compare the things that bring you joy with the activities you do every day. Take a good look at both lists and analyze them.
Consider everything from your morning routine to your bedtime routine, including activities on weekdays and weekends. This is where you can truly assess whether you’ve been prioritizing activities that make you happy or neglecting your own needs.
Adjust accordingly
And now comes the time where you have to modify your everyday list. This requires some modifications and prioritization.
Now that you have taken the time to analyze both your current routine and your list of things that you love, find a way to mix the two and create a better schedule that allows time for yourself.
An example of this would be to combine activities, such as listening to music while you work or taking a walk while catching up on your favorite podcast.
Another strategy is to swap out less meaningful activities for those that truly bring you joy. Rather than mindlessly scrolling on your phone, consider journaling for just a few minutes each day.
There are so many ways you can incorporate activities that make you happy into your daily routine – the key is to experiment and find what works best for you.
