Number your paper from 1 to 100. Start writing down everything you can think of that brings joy to your life. You may not finish this list right away, but keep working at it. The first time I started this list, my life was in such disarray that I could only think of 10 things to put on my list. I made a point of trying to include these activities in my life each day. My life began improving and I continued to add items to my list. I lost my original lists; here's the start of a new one...
1. Hot bubble baths
2. Sitting in the sunshine, feeling the warmth on your skin
3. Candlelight
4. Burning incense
5. A cat sleeping on my lap
6. Holding hands with my sweetheart
7. Kissing
8. Watching my kids having fun
9. Listening to the ocean waves crash on the beach
10.Cold, crisp nights
11. Watching a lightning storm
12. Listening to the rain from bed
13. The smell of homemade bread baking
14. Eating hot, homemade bread
15. The sound of wind chimes outside my bedroom window
16. Blasting music while cleaning house
17. Silence
18. Sunsets
19. Sunrises
20. Eating breakfast outside
21. Picnics
22. Gazing at the stars
23. Napping in a hammock
24. Solitary car trips
25. The dirt between my fingers and toes when pulling weeds
Start your list today. Keep adding to it. What brings you joy in your life?
