8 Easy Ways To Be Happier Right Now (3 of 5)

Go do a fun activity

It is easy to get caught up in always trying to be productive, even while just relaxing. Today, go do a fun activity and focus on nothing but… doing nothing.

Do you find yourself complaining about paying bills, or waiting in the lunch line, or even about how your friend talks so much? Replace thoughts like this with gratitude: such as the fact that you are blessed to have the money to pay bills or buy lunch, or to have a friend who trusts you enough to confide in you.
