#Cultivate16 Day 12: Happiness

-Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.- Margaret Lee Runbeck
What do you do to practice happiness? How can you practice happiness daily?

Each day I start three lists: five things I’m grateful for, five things I accomplished, and five things that bring me happiness. I write a messy list of concerns, then I write a page. Writing out my concerns, things to be thankful for, things I’ve accomplished, things that make me happy, and my general thoughts helps clear my mind and brighten my mood. Over the last three years, I’ve been a little less likely to maintain this daily practice, so I’m trying my best to improve my writing habit during 2016.

In addition to my daily writing practice, I plan to embrace each moment as a chance for happiness. I can choose to see the negative in a situation, or I can choose to see the positive. While I know it’s impossible to always be happy and always find the bright side, I intend to mindfully practice happiness on a daily basis.
