for you.

to find happiness:

1. Write a grateful list

“Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy – because we will always want to have something else or or something more.”

- Brother David Steindl Rast

2. Celebrate your sense of sight

“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hand, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”

- Maxim Gorky

method:

· Set a timer to go off in five minutes

· Tie a blindfold around your eyes

· Go about your normal routine as best as you can

· When the timer sounds, take off the blindfold

3. Feel your pulse

Happiness pulses with every beat of my heart.

- Emily Logan Decens

method:

o Place your 2nd & 3rd fingers on your wrist under the thumb

o Feel the blood coursing through with each heartbeat

o Count the number of beats per minute if you wish

o Think about what it means to be alive

4. Recall the adventures of your hands

“I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour.”

- Hazel Lee

method:

Examine your hands closely

Remember what each hand has done in your life

Re-live the happy times in as much detail as you recall

look inside you, look for what's already there, not materialistic objects, and you'll find happiness. it's actually really very simple, but it's entirely up to you whether you want to find it or not. it's all in the mind, love.
