Do Something You LOVE

Be by h.koppdelaney

Gretchen Rubin over at The Happiness Project wrote a post yesterday about things that you should do daily to be happy & healthy. Her list included things like "wear your seatbelt," and "take prescription medicines properly."

If I had to add one thing to the list, it would be do something you love. Everyday.

It doesn't have to be the same thing everyday, but it should be something. Creativity includes creating your life the way you want to live it. And who doesn't want to spend their days doing something they love?

I'm not only talking about doing something you love for a living. That can be extremely challenging. I'm just talking about having something to look forward to in each day.

If you are in the position to love what you do for your job (or do what you love for your job), remember how lucky you are, and be grateful to anyone that helped you get to that place. If your job is not something that you love, then lift up your day by giving yourself even five minutes to do something just for you:

Take a walk

Have a cup of tea

Read

Put on a nice dress

Call a friend

Crack a joke

(this is obviously my list, and yours may include none of these ridiculous things)

If enjoying your life were as essential as wearing your seatbelt, we'd all be happier, right?

If you could add one thing that you love to your daily routine, what would it be?
