6 Secrets of Happiness, Small Treats, Joy, Yippee!



   “One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats."
                                           - Iris Murdoch

Envision World Happiness


One secret I want to share with you today is that I'm reflecting on the

quotation above the heart picture. It was written by Iris Murdoch (author 

and philosopher). I discovered the quotation in Gretchen  

Rubin's The Happiness Project Moment of Happiness Newsletter.

Thanks Gretchen. Your newsletter supplies me with continuous small 

treats that brighten moments of my day. If you want to know more, 

check out Gretchen Rubin's Website.

The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin's first book on happiness 

continues to suggest that one key to happiness is to be good to oneself 

and pursue those things that create well-being (fun, friendship, love, 

understanding) and cut back on those things that pull you down (worry, 

negativity, blame, and rehashing the past).  I intend to read Gretchen's 

Rubin's new book, Happier at HomeHow about you?


Warning!  Don't go.

I saved the best for last. Please read on to see my 6 top secrets for 

happiness.






Here are my 6 top secrets for happiness:


1.Put my Higher Power in charge by recognizing my powerlessness over other people, places, and things.

2.Choose love each and every time. When I can’t manage that, at least keep my nose out of other people’s business.

3.Show up for my life by being present right now, right here.

4.Nurture myself by eating right, sleeping enough, exercising, and giving and receiving emotional support.

5.Seek meaning and purpose in my life, plus reserve time for goofing off.

6.Practice simple, conscious living and find joy and gratitude from self-knowledge, new adventures, and the willingness to accept life on life’s terms.

Please let me know what makes you happy and what are your top
secrets to happiness.
