“I saw Sorrow
holding a cup of pain.
I said, hey sorrow,
sorry to see you this way.
What’s troubling you?
What’s with the cup?
Sorrow said,
what else can I do?
All this Joy that you have brought to the world has killed my business completely.”
Some ways to bring joy to the world:
1.) Acts of kindness
2.) Smile
3.) Give thanks for all the good no matter how small/trivial it seems
4.) Breathe deeply
5.) Let things go
6.) Listen to happy songs
7.) Be surrounded in cheerful or calming colors whenever possible
8.) Share uplifting quotes to inspire others
9.) Read inspiring books/blogs/writings
10.) Engage in activities that inspire happiness or calming effects
11.) Hug dogs/cats
12.) Forgive self & others β€
13.) Be a safe space for others, active listening, without negative judgment, ridicule, selfish expectations, unsolicited suggestions
14.) Watch the sun setting and/or rising
15.) Do something random & fun!π
16.) Buy a gift for self!π
17.) Be mindful of right now and go with the flow without judging even if our current experience seems unpleasant
18.) Watch a fun comedy movie/tv show
19.) Go above & beyond to help someone, friend, family, stranger, coworker, neighbor, boss, enemy…
20.) Get fixed up, bring out expensive kitchen utensils and things reserved for special occasions….just because, even when alone. Every moment we’re alive is a special occasion!
I hope you’re having a beautiful day or night wherever in the world you are!β€ππππππππβ£
