What Makes You Feel Happier?
Hi everyone,
It is often found that people will go to great lengths to feel happier and sometimes searching for happiness can often feel a little bit of a daunting task. This is mostly due to happiness being created rather than being found. Happiness is a subjective experience and what will bring happiness to one person may not
I thought we could all share something simple or perhaps even something more meaningful that makes us happier?
I'll start, for me it's little acts of kindness either giving or receiving them as they make me so happy. Studies have shown that acts of altruism can really increase happiness. What about you?
@LisaMeighanMBPsS What is something simple thing that makes life more meaningful and or makes us happier?
For me a warm day in spring with sunshine is a simple thing that stirs up a feeling of new life.
@soulsings
I love this and the warm weather can really us cheer up too! :)
Taking a walk, reading, journaling, listening to music, spending time with friends and my dog makes me feel happier.
@moniesnina
Walking and animals are such great therapy for the soul :) What dog do you have?
Giving a helping hand or ear that makes some ones day and being able to clearly see what I just did made some one feel better smile or helped so they would not have to go with out or feel alone really makes me happy no matter what the situation may be
@diamondintheROUGH2022
Helping others is brilliant and often we find ourselves too in the process. That is lovely.
Hi @LisaMeighanMBPsS, That’s a great question 😊. Something that makes me happier is taking care of all the children in the volunteer children's centers. Caring for children who do not have anyone else in their lives to care for them makes me really happy.

How beautiful :) I just love that you take care of children, such a much needed service.
Journaling, taking a walk, and camping.
@Loveyourfate
Camping is so wonderful and brings you closer to yourself too, journalling too!
@LisaMeighanMBPsS
What make me feel happier?
Hmm, there are many things Lisa, I think the biggest ones are feeling the peace inside, see someone helping another person or animal (like stopping the car to let the ducks or frogs cross the road), watching people walking the street hand in hand, a flower blossoming, bird taking a bath in a water pool. There is so much to see, to be happy about when we can open our eyes and hearts.
@amiablePeace77
How beautiful :) I love this and you can really visualise this too.
@LisaMeighanMBPsS im not sure what really makes me happy.
@cheesecake58
I am so sorry to hear you feel this way. Is there anything anyone has said in this thread that brings you a little moment of happiness perhaps? Sometimes when we look within, we can really find what we are looking for.
Can relate
Deep conversations, spending time with my daughter, reading, watching TV, swimming, singing, walking, spending time with my husband, family, friends, laying in bed, playing with my dog, cleaning, eating(lol) funny videos, act of kindness, smiles, laughing, driving...I could go on and on.
@DLynn88911221 those sound like wonderful ways to be happy!
Exercise
@lovingVillage6519 exercise is something I practice every day and it really lifts my spirits.
Going on trips!
