What are some simple things you do to make your life happy?

1. I work towards my goals little by little. One baby step at a time. I reward myself with things I enjoy, especially when I’ve done something hard (for me). I personally enjoy drawing so I always have a few drawing projects that I switch between.

2. [removed]

3. flowers, long walks in the countryside, holding my boyfriends hand

4. work on my looks. i walk a lot . do my makeup. and my hair . and always have on sparkly jewelary

5. Have 30 minutes before you go to sleep to just relax and wind down. Listen to some music, drink something you like, read one or two pages from a book.

   Make the winddown a ritual, and stick to it.

   It will increase your sleep quality massively.

6. I love embracing my fantasies, daydreams, shower thoughts

   Haaah….. true enjoyment!

7. Eat food.

8. Fixing up mah house! I am getting a new kitchen and flooring and carpet and appliances. Not a lot of spend going out but will wildly make the house much nicer. Tired of looking at it, TBH. Looks like a bad RV set up.

   Gonna do the rear deck and the front porch too. I’ll prolly have to do the deck myself to save on clams. Pull up the boards and replace them with weatherproof stuff and rebuild the steps and paint or replace the railings. $2k vs $10k to have it done.

   Set up my sewing stuff in the girl cave and have stuff to keep myself busy after getting done with being busy hehe.

   Not sure what to do about backyard because it is all funky from being soggy and neglected. Maybe gravel it in and put in raised planters and shrubs and things….and grow flowers and things.

   I was moving things in the garage and got really hot. Jet black nylons and hot sun prolly to blame. I can wear hosiery all the time here. It gets hot but only for a few hours a day. Back in Boise, already a few months distant from skirts and things.

   Speaking of making happy and hosiery, bought some cheapo L’eggs. Love em! Cheap to buy and pretty. Also gonna have to buy a tarp for the bed of my Tundra so I can make dump runs.

9. play video games, cook for my husband (stay at home wife that recently started meal prepping), walks, relaxing with my cat & husband

10. I have a clear idea of whatI enjoy doing versus what I do because I have to and I definitely spend more time doing what I enjoy. As long as I have something to wear tomorrow the laundry can sit. Nobody is going to die if there are a few dishes in the sink or the carpets don’t get vacuumed today. That said, I make sure to spend a little bit of time accomplishing something that needs doing and then I set myself free to garden, paint, decorate, browse antique stores, etc to my hearts content guilt free. I also make damn sure my fiancé and I spend some actual quality time together regularly without phones and without talking about work or chores or money and just enjoy each other’s company somewhere besides the couch staring at the TV – preferably somewhere with good food and good cocktails.

11. I bought a couch for my office so I can chill
