COVID-19 Is a Bummer – It Can’t Stop Good Things From Happening

Here are a few of the good things I witnessed or experienced today:

  • Yippee! The gyms in Texas open today. I stopped by my gym and spoke with the manager. She is working hard to make sure everything is in order to protect gym users. Working together we’ll win. Grateful to be able to go to the gym. Grateful for those working to keep it a healthy space.
  • Not a cloud in the beautiful south Texas sky. The blue sky along with the varying shades of green this spring make this a wonderful day. Grateful for my eyesight. Grateful for blue skies. Grateful for the color green and all its varying shades.

We’re another day closer to victory. I shy away from the naysayers, depressing, and “what if” folks. Bring on the music. Let’s dance. Life is good and getting better.

The little things are priceless treasures to me. They brighten my day. I hope your day is filled to overflowing with the little things that make life worth living.

Grateful for all the above.

A Feel Good Strategy

In Mental Subtraction of Positive Events, you call to mind a certain positive event—the birth of a child, a career achievement, a special trip—and think of all the circumstances that made it possible. How could things have turned out differently? Just taking a moment to imagine this alternate reality creates a favorable comparison, where suddenly our life looks quite good.

🤗 Feel Good Hack ~ C’mon Coffee

by

Here’s a personal feel good hack. I enjoy my morning coffee almost as much as I enjoy my morning shower. I make my coffee the night before. When I wake up I ask Alexa (Amazon Echo device) to “Turn on Coffee.” I hear the coffee maker click on. I hear the drip, drip, drip of coffee, and sixty seconds later the wonderful aroma of a dark roast makes it way to me while I lie on my yoga mat doing crunches. That’s a tough place to drink coffee, but my anticipation switch clicked on. Cheers!

🤗 Feel Good Hack ~ Enjoy Your Self!

That’s Right, Enjoy Time Alone With YOU!

Strong social ties are key to good feelings, but a truly happy person can be comfortable on her own, too. Solitude and down time is a good chance to relax, do the things we like to do alone, and build up energy to go back out and deal with the world and its people again. Alone in healthy doses doesn’t have to mean lonely, and if I’m happy on my own and comfortable with myself, I really can be happy anytime.

Eating the Right Foods Can Make You Happier

Being happy promotes a range of lifestyle habits that are important for overall health. Happy people tend to eat healthier diets, with higher intakes of fruits, vegetables and whole grains (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables have consistently been associated with a range of health benefits, including lower risks of diabetes, stroke and heart disease (4Trusted Source, 5, 6Trusted Source).
