Yes! You can start a happiness lifestyle in 5 minutes a day. One of the first things I do everyday is start my day with my top 10 list of things I'm grateful for. The things on my list can be material or immaterial. If I don't go through this exercise I read a short reading from a Catholic book of prayers, or any spiritual book. Go ahead and give this a try. Just find a comfortable quiet spot and start counting. This can also be done when you are outside. I did it today while I was out for a Sunday morning run. After doing the top ten list for 3 weeks it will become a habit.
Today's List
1. My husband and marriage
2. My children
3. The sun rise I witnessed
4. The mild weather so that I can still be outside daily.
5. The Christmas lights that are on at 6;30 am
6. The gift of music
7. The gift of time with my family yesterday
8. God and religion in my life
9. The food I have and the knowledge of what to do with it.
10. My home
What is on your top ten list?
Merry Christmas,
Beth
