Figuring out what makes you happy, then do it
It’s all a practice. Practice getting into the routine of doing the things that make you happy. Practice being aware, and noticing your thoughts. Practice gratitude, practice authenticity, practice listening, practice patience.

Morning
Morning yoga - stretching, wakes the body (10 minute morning yoga on YouTube)
Meditation - start the day with a clear and healthy mind (bead meditation) if you only have time for a half or quarter of beads, that’s better than nothing
Feel grateful - name some things (say something during morning yoga or meditation but also all through the day)
Set the intention of the day - also during yoga/meditation (each day there is a different goal - productivity, being present, eating intentionally...)
Drink a large glass of water - right after teeth are brushed, drink a full glass of water
Enter a Heading
Eat WFPB diet - meal plan so we don’t eat out of convenience (during breakfast make a point to think about snacks and meals for the rest of the day, schedule in supermarket stop
Candles/diffuser/lotions - good smells stimulate good feelings
Coffee- the goal is not to have any coffee until 11, and no coffee after 2!
Bedtime
Address all the things that may keep me up BEFORE I get into bed - room temperature, lotion for dry skin, hair back, chapt lips, rings off, socks off, lights (curtains), sounds (fan, sound machine) . Have water by bed.
