Simple Ways to Have More Joy in Life
During summers at our camp outside of Chicago, it’s pretty easy to find joy amidst the smiling campers, shining sun, and refreshing water in the pool and lake. Sometimes during the non-summer, we have to be more intentional about maintaining and creating joy in our daily lives. Here are some tips from the folks at Barking Up the Wrong Tree. Summary below, with the full article available at this link.
- Those things that make you happy? Do them: Take a break from “new.” Listen to the music that has always made you happy. Spend time with the people who have always made you happy.
- Express gratitude: I just gave you valuable advice. The least you can do is say “thank you.” Jeez.
- Find purpose: Don’t have hobbies. Have passions.
- Double down on good relationships: Build your friendship 401K. Invest in good relationships now. The compound interest that comes from pals is incalculable.
