“What rituals make you happier?”
Tal Ben-Shahar asks this question in Happier, his New York Times bestseller.
Some answers for me:
* Giving Iggy a smooch
* Bicycling with Iggy
* Feeding and watching my backyard squirrels and birds
* Looking at flowers or vegetables from my garden
* Writing my weekly gratitude diary entry
* Doing my quarterly goals review with my buddy
* Eating the first Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup
What else might work?
I used to get an incredible boost out of yoga when I took a class at work. But it’s hard to discipline myself to do it on my own.
What works for you?
Taking care of the family works for me.
