I love this post! I’ve recently gone forward with #5 – just do it. I finally quit my miserable day job, took on blogging full-time and I haven’t been happier since. My stress levels have gone down so much and I can finally sleep 8-10 hrs a day 🙂

A few years ago I read several books about happiness. Taking responsibility for one’s own happiness is a transforming idea. The fact that you included sleep as one of your five ways to amp it up is important. I recently found out that I have sleep apnea, and am waiting to begin treatment. I wonder how many people are looking for the source of their unhappiness when it might be something as simple as the lack of quality sleep.
And speaking of cards…I buy them for myself. Yes, it’s true. I have a little pile of them on my desk, and tell myself that I will send them to people when the right occasion arises…but the truth is, they’re for me. 🙂

Love your list. Agreed about sleeping by 10. I think lack of sleep is the route of all evil, I remember that so much when I my babies were up all night nursing and I was a walking zombie, I held on to my baby weight until I finally go some sleep and I was a happier person all around. I try to do a gratitude journal at night but sometimes pass it to watch horrible tv. I need to make it a priority. Thanks for the share!

I love this, Kristen. I am all about smiles and smileys, but still have to work hard sometimes to find my happiness. One area I’ve gotten slack in is sending cards, letters and notes, something I love to do and am well known for. And I love Hallmark, so time to get back to spreading SMILE! THANK YOU!
