my go-to happiness boost is a walk outside.
something about fresh air and a change of scenery just works.
or blasting a favorite upbeat song, always lifts the mood.
sometimes, it's watching a short, funny video or show.
what about you guys? what's your secret recipe for turning a dull day around?
songs, snacks, shows, or something totally different? let's share some mood-lifters!
Help others: Helping others is a great way to boost your own happiness. Volunteer your time, donate to a cause you care about, or simply do something nice for someone else. Witnessing the positive impact of your actions can be incredibly rewarding.
- Watch a high quality movie (IMDB 7.0 or higher)
- Do some hard DIY/gardening task that makes you remember it is nice to be working inside on a computer.
- podcast on non a random topic from good quality source
- if you need a quick fix look at your memories (videos) on google photos and remember time flys. good and bad times both pass
@productprogress I've started lowering my IMDB rating criteria to 6.5 and above now π
Definitely a good one about the DIY/gardening - always great to do something offline and hands-on. π
@uxyemi Totally agreed! Gotta be careful about this one - dozens of super smart minds out there engineering how to get you to scroll endlessly into oblivion. π
Currently, it's One Piece or playing a round of Overwatch. Although, I have recently used this recent product launched here to break the day:

Be grateful for xyz? and name few things in place of xyz. Works in most cases.
Switch on the light. Have a cup of coffee. Do the first thing on your to do list.
When I'm feeling stuck in a rut, I find getting outside for a brisk hike always lifts my spirits. The team at HikingHorizon offers route ideas that help you take in some beautiful scenery. Combining the outdoors, movement, and nature works every time to boost my mood!
my recipe for a happiness boost involves a combination of small actions that can make a big difference. I believe in the power of gratitude. Taking a moment to reflect on the things we are grateful for can shift our perspective and bring joy. Additionally, engaging in activities that bring us pleasure, such as listening to uplifting music or going to the gym!
