Little Things Make Me Happy

awake-society:

Starting today till January 19, is “Hunt for happiness week”

Who created this week:

The Secret Society of Happy People, Delivering Happiness

Why celebrate happiness:

“The goal of the Society is to be about realistic happiness. Being happy all of the time isn’t realistic for the majority of us. Most of us find our happy challenge is maintaining happiness amongst daily chaos and unhappiness. (delivering happiness, 2018)

How to celebrate:

✨ Focus on the things that make you happy

✨ Try out new activities that will bring you joy.

✨ Spend time with loved ones

✨ Try a happiness challenge

✨ Spread kindness, etc

We live in a fast paced world, stressing out 24/7. We forget to take out time to do something that’ll make us happy. Although this week is dedicated to happiness, this should be something done all year round. Take the time this week to think about how you can implement this for the rest of the year.

1. Prepare for work/school the night before

• set things out that you need to do 
• pack your backpack or work bags 
• make your breakfast ahead of time 
• make sure you have a yummy breakfast so you have something to look forward to in the morning 

2. Get to bed early enough that you get 6-9 hours of sleep per night 

• sleep is important to physical and mental health 
  
• when you sleep more then your performance at school/work will be much better than if you get less sleep 
• sleep can help better cope with emotions 
• studies have shown adequate sleep can help combat depression, eating disorders and substance abuse

3. Wake up at the same time everyday 

• this helps to regulate your body’s clock 
  
• when done repeatedly this makes it easier to wake up 
• your body is less likely to know when to start feeling sleepy
• this will make you likely to push your bedtime later and further deprive yourself of rest

4. Do NOT hit snooze 

• the body needs some time to get you ready to wake up
  
• when you hit snooze it allows your body to settle and enter another cycle of sleep 
• if you hit snooze a second time then your body gets a groggy, fuzzy-headed feeling called sleep inertia
• the more you hit snooze, the more confused your body and brain gets 

5. When you wake up open your curtains and make your bed 

• opening your curtains and letting in natural light will let your body know its morning 
• if it’s still dark outside just turn on the lights
  
• making your bed lets your brain know that the day has begun 
• this also decreases the chance of crawling back into bed 
• this accomplishment will set the tone for the rest of day and will encourage you to continue to be productive 
  

6. Stretch 

• when you sleep, your muscles lose tone and fluid tends to pool along your back
  
•  stretching helps massage fluid back into the normal position
• stretching can be a great way to get ready physically and mentally into the day
  

7. Establish a routine 

• healthy morning rituals set the tone for the rest of the day
  
• it may take some time to master your morning routine
• but once you have one try to stick to it 
• many productivity expert recommends a morning routine in order to start the day
  
• when making a routine think about what kind of person you are 
• “don’t talk to me before my coffee” person? 
  
• sharing your routine with someone? (an s/o or roommate?) 
• do you like having breakfast with others? 
• accountability is always a good idea 

Waking up earlier and being productive was one of my New Years resolutions! I hope this helps you as well!
