Thank you for sharing this! Sometimes I find I’m really not as positive as I want to be, and reading lots of different ideas about happiness is a good way to examine that. The ones that spoke to me were: ‘Happiness is an adventure. Set out on it’ (I think it’s easy to build you identity around not being happy and then you’re scared of trying to be happy) and also ‘let go of rigid expectations’.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
So many great ones here! I really liked 15 and 3 is such an important one to remember x
