A sticker. A surprise special treat {hot chocolate bombs, anyone?!}. A new toy. A hug and kiss just because. Whether it is big or small, seeing your child happy no doubt fills your heart. There is so much more that happiness does for a person – young and old!
And happiness is more than an object or trip. There are skills that each of us can practice to establish happiness, even during challenging seasons of life (#2020).
- Positive Outlook: Thank about the greatest challenge you’re facing right now and write down three positive things you can learn from it. Check out this family from Atlanta and how they have worked to have a positive outlook!
- Human connection: From a safe distance, check on your neighbors who live alone to ensure they are okay. Meet the Bee Family from Atlanta to see how they are making connections!
- Mindfulness: Accept yourself. For today, treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend!
- Gratitude: Call a loved one and tell them why you’re grateful to have them in your life.
- Generosity: Give of your time, talents or resources!
- Purpose: Make a list of what has made you feel excited to start the day
This holiday season, #givehappiness as a stocking stuffer, card or send to a friend or family member you haven’t been able to see this year! Don’t forget to print this checklist for easy ways to build and establish the essential skills for happiness in your life and in your home!
