We have the BEST happiness hack to share with you
today!
It’s all about focusing in on those little things
that make you so happy on the daily - the things Lindsay calls your
10s. Some could take 10 seconds and others 10 minutes and
others and hour. The whole point is to identify each week,
those things that make you feel alive and bring joy to your
days.
Then, let’s write them down and make it like a game…
a challenge to hit them each day.
We often look to the BIG moments and days… like
special events and birthdays or Mother’s Day… and we love those
celebrations but sometimes things don’t go as planned… someone gets
sick or the day goes sideways.
That’s why we love leaning into the small moments -
those little things that make you happy on the daily. Lindsay
swears by this method. It helps you feel overall more happy
and centered and energetic and have more patience and compassion -
because you’re getting in those things that make you feel the
BEST.
It’s your daily challenge to get in as many 10s as
you can… and be intentional with how you spend your time… and the
result is having days that feel more full and fulfilling and happy.
Here are some points Lindsay makes:
-Get a fun note-pad- it totally helps!
-It makes you happier and gives you “self time”
without setting aside time for a facial and a massage. It’s
little things all day long.
-BEST part is that it helps you be the best version
of yourself - the person you want to be. When you’re pouring from
an empty cup- you feel depleted. You’re wiped and less
patient and not enjoying the day as much as you could.
Doing it this way, when your kids are hard or someone
at work is being an asshole, you’re coming to the situation with a
much better perspective and mindset. You’re constantly doing
things you love and feeling fulfilled - so you are better prepared
for the challenges and handle them in the way you want
to.
-Do this at the start of the week- Sunday or
Monday
-These are not goals! This is happiness
based!
-Separate them best by when you are most likely to do
them- and when it feels best.
-Two ways to separate it….
AM
Mid Day
PM
OR
Mind/Body
Connections
Health
-In the am we have the most energy and focus - so put
those things here.
-In the afternoon- do the more creative thinking
things or writing - group work.
-Change it up each week
