My Psych's newest advice is to do something that makes me happy every day.

So each day I find something. I do crafts every other day because my hands can't take every day. If I used my hands too much, then I have to do once in three days. There are some tv shows that I like but they're on late at night so I'm recording them. Unforgetable, Stan Lee's Superhumans, Nadia G's B Kitchen, and some Music Countdowns. The music countdowns aren't on too late for me, but tend to be when I want to be outdoors. I've also gone for walks outdoors. It's been so beautiful this Autumn. On rainy days is when I like to watch movies like Jackie Chan action-comedy, read romance novels, or read or listen to jokes.
So far so good!
So if you were instructed to do something that makes you happy once a day, what things would you do that make you happy?

If I were to do something that made me happy every day it would be spending time with my grandson, eating gormet chocolate, having peace and quiet, playing music that I am in the mood for, watching Ringer, Person of Interest, Millionaire Matchmaker, and I have half a dozen romance movies I like to see occasiionally. I also like to watch three holiday vintage movies annually.

Ice cream makes me happy, too. So have one on me and think of me, OK?

That is good advice from a doctor. I came to the realization last Fall that my life is pretty much over. By that I mean I am retired and that my romances and travels and such are over. So I eat what I want and am not on a real diet of any kind nor exercising that much. This makes me happy. I have no need to.

I think that that is wonderful advice. I know when I've been down in the past it's hard to think about having fun, or doing things to make me happy.
One simple thing to make me happy is just to talk to friends, or to watch t.v., to get on here and spend some time on mylot, or simply play a game. I also like to read.
However, if we're talking simply, it's just getting in front of the t.v. and watching it.

All things that are great!
Yes, when you're down, going to sleep seems like the thing to do.

Have a fragrant fire in our outdoor fireplace, smell the fall burning wood. Sit in a hot tub. Do a craft, look at fabric and make something. Shop at thrift shops. Plant something. Buy a new houseplant. Smell some essential oils. Listen to music that makes me move.

All sounds glorious, esp, the craft, thrift, plant, and move to music. Great!

I think that it's quite right that you have to do at least one thing every day that makes you happy. For me, it can even be something as simple as playing on my piano, because it allows for me to relax and just lose myself in the music. I also like to exercise when I am feeling stressed or a little bit down, and that makes me feel happy because the exercise released endorphins into your blood stream which make you feel happy. I might go on a jog now for an hour or so actually, as I could do with the exercise.

I love dancing and T'ai chi, so I know how good exercise can feel.

If I were instructed to do things that makes me happy, first, I would like to go mall with my family and eat at nice restaurant.Second, I would like to go to church with my best friend. Third, i would do some writings and eat some chocolates.

I'd love the restaurant and chocolates, too. Anywhere with a best friend is great!
