Let’s Choose Happiness in 2022

I believe happiness is a choice. You can choose to live life surrounded by those things that make you smile or choose to focus on those things that make you frown.

Here’s what I’ve learned about happiness:
* Happy people attract happy people.
* Happy people are hopeful.
* Happy people like and accept themselves.

It’s the beginning of the New Year and many of us write new goals for the coming year. What if you were to develop happier habits? What if you set a few happiness goals?

If happiness is a choice, what are you choosing for the New Year?

Here are three easy, but happy suggestions you can choose to implement during the coming year:

1. Start your morning doing something that makes you happy. You can begin with meditating, affirming the positives, visualizing your happy future, reading a good book, exercising, eating a healthy breakfast, or writing in your gratitude journal.

2. There’s an idea going around Facebook and Pinterest that seems like it would be fun. Start a Happy Memory Jar that you’ll fill with happy memories during the coming year. One woman I know keeps a “Happy Memory” jar on her kitchen counter with a stack of colorful paper next to it and a marker. Throughout the year she’ll jot down a happy incident or memory that occurred during her day – something that made her laugh or smile. Each New Year’s Eve, she opens the jar and spills out the contents. Then with a smile on her face, she unfolds each piece of paper and reads them one by one.

3. Read books that put a pep in your step and a smile on your face.
I love fiction books that take me away and transport me to another time and place. I want to get immersed into characters I can relate to and cheer on to a happy ending. My TBR (To Be Read) is diverse and fun. I set aside at least one-two hours a day for “fun” reading. In 2022 my goal is to read at least 200 new books before the end of the year.

I also make time to hone my professional and personal skills. I reserve quality time to learn more about the craft of writing, marketing, cooking, and taking good care of myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I love learning – learning new things makes me happy!

What do you think, are you ready to be happier this year?
