Happy People Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
People who are happy focus their energy and efforts only on things that are truly important and within their control. Remember, getting consumed by the things that you have absolutely no control over is a waste of time that will end up making you lean more toward the miserable side. In other words, master the art of letting it go.

Let The Sun Shine In To Feel Better
I know, the sun is bright and quite horrible in the morning. But you don’t have to be all vampiric with your curtains drawn tight.

🤗 Feel Good Hack ~ Believe in the Impossible
Keep on Believing
“I can’t believe THAT!” said Alice.
“Can’t you? Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes,” said the Queen.
Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying, one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!“ said the Queen.

🤗 Feel Good Hack ~ Keep Work & Leisure Separate
Separate Your Workspace
Designating a separate space for work can not only help encourage focus, but it can also help us better decompress when it’s time to put work away for the day.
“When working at home, we’ve completely lost that point in time where labor and leisure are separated,” said New York City-based architect Kevin Lichten.
And, if it’s not possible to have a separate room for a home office, Jamie Gold, a San Diego-based wellness design consultant and author, suggests dividing a space with a visual separator, such as a large planter, bookcase or screen to help you “leave” work by closing it off to view when you’re relaxing.
