Things that make you happy...
Hello,
I just wanted to make a post to ask,
What kinds of things that make you happy?
I'm trying to create a list for myself so i can do those small things each day, to get me through the day, but I'm here struggling to find a single things that makes me happy. So I was hoping I could take inspiration from what others have to say, and then maybe I can find something that makes me happy.
@drmthwsn hey! i feel a similar way, struggling to come up with things i’d consider as “making me happy.” instead, i kinda try to frame it more as “things that get me through the day” (or hour, week, etc.)
here are some things that help keep me afloat.
writing- not just journaling (though it’s super helpful) or narrative stuff or anything structured. i mean literally writing down everything! sometimes i write down every thought i have as it occurs. i make lists of everything, even stuff that seems mundane. even a list of objective things that happened (“i got up, i watered the plants, i drank some water”) is helpful for me
dancing in my room- sometimes at the end of the day, it helps me to just put on music n dance alone in my room. good way to get moving, and helps me get out some of the anxious energy
worldbuilding- dedicating my time to a personal project can be a saving grace for me. for me, it’s stuff like worldbuilding, which involves lots of intricate details and figuring stuff out. that’s not everyone’s thing, but for me, it helps. it’s like piecing together a puzzle
I make homemade Christmas cards, with drawings, throughout the year, so I can pass them out at Christmastime <3
I crochet, doesn't necessarily make me happy but it takes my mind of bad thoughts also it makes me less depressed
