If I were to ask you what makes you happy, you would probably have no problem providing me with a few answers — a new car, less body fat, better-paying job, and so on. Answers to this question usually revolve around the theme of our happiness depending on external circumstances.

I really want to know what little things in life make us happy, and how we can use those things to battle feelings of stress and sadness.

I’m guilty of this all the time; when something looks bleak, I usually mope about it for awhile and where does it get me?! Nowhere. Okay, okay, we can’t be happy all the time, I know, but we can at least try!

• A loved one/pet
• Traveling

Whatever it is, it’s those little things in life that really matter. For me, happiness is when a stranger smiles at me on the street. Or those cozy mornings when the sun is just coming up. Or receiving a text from someone you miss terribly.

Have a thrilling Thursday 🙂
XOXO
