Favorite Things that Make You Happy
Positive attitudes are contagious and the rewards of spreading happiness are immeasurable.
So, for more happy ideas, writers can write about their favorite things – writing about your favorite snacks, beverages, song, movie, an act of kindness, or your “happy place” can put a big smile on your face! Favorite quotes, affirmations, or a gratitude list are also powerful tools.
Yeppers… a regular writing practice can have a significant impact on mental health and is a great form of self-care and a powerful expression of self-love, too.
