I love this discussion topic! Being happy and sharing things that make you happy, isn't it great?

So what I think can make me happy? Rather than writing a lengthy article (which is not my style anyway), I would just list out them in point form.

1. Smile
Smile when you are happy, and smile when you are not feeling happy too! You can pretend smiling at first, but sooner or later, you will find that you are actually smiling...

Smile to everyone you meet, starting from the moment you wake up until you go to bed. Smile to your neighbour and your colleague, you may brighten up their day!

2. Sunshine
What's better than having a day with nice sunshine?

3. A short walk
Feeling stuck? Feeling down? Take a walk outside and you will feel better! It's even better if you walk under sunshine!

4. Keep a log of your happy things
I kept a little book with myself and I would jot down 3 things which make me happy that day before I go to sleep. It may not be significant but just simple things which I feel grateful for. It may be that I saw a beautiful flower today, had a nicely baked bread or things like that. Whenever I feel unhappy, I will take out that little book and remind me of my happy moments!

5. Music
Playing music is a great! You don't really have to good at it before you start playing it. You can just sing a song in the shower, play a short piece on your kid's toy "piano".

I found myself much happier after started learning ukulele. It's very easy to learn and I have a lot of joy playing and singing along. It's very easy to pick up and if you want to look for something to start with, see my earlier review on Mahalo Ukulele Starter Kit =)

6. Donate to a charity
Make a donation to a charity. I like the feeling of being able to help someone. In fact, I am helping a charity in Hong Kong which is helping to rebuild the ruined schools in China. It always feel great to be able to help someone, especially to help the kids to have a better place to learn.

The list can go on and on. But I guess what is important is to discover for yourself what will make you happy and most importantly, SHARE the joy with others!
