May i suggest some simpler things i find bring me both joy and the wonder of the miracles of life...
it requires removing the blinkers so many of us wear as we go about our busy lives...

the flight of a butterfly , or birds... the buds and flowers on the trees and bushes we pass ...
the gentle breeze , the babbling brook, the smiles you give and receive.... the laughter of small
children playing in the park ..... and on ... thousands of small events around us every day....
learn to appreciate .... it brings joy....

Yes.

That list is a bit of a mixed bag. I would not find making a big list a source of joy, for example.

I think that #10 is suggesting to kiss and tell.

Agreed.

Like the Bible - you have to pick and choose the "best" bits ... though I do feel it is worth a read!

100 suggestions is probly over-the-top

Cheers

I know not the difference much between #17 and #40.

#56 is new and good advice!
"Next time you think negatively about yourself, write down that negative thought. By seeing how hurtful those words appear on paper, you'll begin to train yourself to stop saying them in your head."

Yes - journaling can be very therapeutic!

I have found it most useful ...

Interesting....#71 Studies show that for many people the best part of a vacation is looking forward to it. This applies to everyday life in all sorts of ways. Book your massage for a few weeks out rather than today. Plan your movie date a week in advance. Savor the anticipation.

#76 is perfect!

"Studies show that people who are given an entire bag of chocolate candy enjoy those morsels less than people who are given just one piece of candy to taste. So if you want to increase your happiness, indulge in small portions."

I still remember the (one) time that I threw away the remainder of the hamburger and the fries I had been eating.

 

[savagewind]

I think that # 78 is wrong.

It is not the paper copy of the news rather than the vocal news. It is that a reader of the paper will
ingest less of the news, and only the news that he is interested in already.

Something new! "Mashed potato pizza".

 

[savagewind]

OK!
"A harmless bacteria commonly found in soil has been found to have a similar effect on humans as antidepressant drugs. It's a great excuse to play in the dirt."

 

[savagewind]

This explains a lot!

88. Assert Your Power
Studies show that people who hold a position of power, whether in a personal relationship or in the workplace, lead happier lives than those with less authority.

Recipe please

I have posted the page on Facebook. (Facebook is similar to a journal - it sure is easier to find).
I do most of the things listed. And, I am happy. Or, at least I perceive myself so.

 

[savagewind]

Recipe please

LOL What? Are you not paying attention? And.....I thought paying attention is a writing on the forum prerequisite. LOL I love you!

That was a bad sentence. Wasn't it?

I only know about Big Mac pizzas.

I do not know about mashed potato pizzas.

If that laugh doesn't kill me, I think I should be happier hens forth. I mean, henceforth.

I know about other kinds of pizzas. Normal pizzas. Maybe an Haiwaian pizza is not so normal, but he who prompted this waste of time is Jewish. Rights?

Anyway, why are Jews so very funny? You have almost bumped up to the first place. OMG.
