Aloha, how are my readers going? miss me? It’s been a while eh?Sorry that I was busyt with my uni life and yea, updating my other art bloggie haha~

So are you bored at home? Felling emo? Feeling sad? Well, life is not that emo and sad, so I have compiled 50 ways to add “Joy” into your life, there were many more but here were 50 of my favorites! πŸ™‚

1. Smile (One simple smile can make the world go round- No fake smiles!!).
2. Write a thank-you note to yourself or to your friends and telling them how they inspired you.
3. Venture outside for a five-minute walk to get some fresh air!
4. Indulge in a delicious piece of chocolate (or hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows!) or just east yourself with a sweet Kendy or ice cream!
5. Find a piece of jewelry you haven’t worn in awhile – feels just like vintage shopping eh?
6. Pick fresh flowers or send yourself a little bouquet of favorite flowers.
7.  Laugh – Visit a funny blog, watch a movie, or spend time with someone who makes you laugh.
8. Find serenity at a favorite local spot (ex. a park, a lake, a coffee shop, a little nook in your house or office).
9. Take one action towards a goal or dream (It could be a small and sweet one)
10. Hit the pause button and spend five-minutes alone – allow your mind to become quiet.
11. Bake a favorite treat with a family member or friend β€” or bake alone and surprise someone special with yummy treats.
12. Discover an uplifting and fun song – something new.
13. Slow down and enjoy a long brunch.
14. Try a new fitness class (This could be fun)
15. Indulge in watching tv or reading a magazine – guilt free!
16. Declare a vacation day – write it BIG on your calendar so you get to anticipate this upcoming personal time (a vacation day can fall on the weekend).
17. Do a good deed β€” help someone else find joy.
18. Treat yourself to a favorite cup of coffee or tea – enjoy the flavors and activate your senses.
19. Be goofy! Dance around your room to your favorite music.
20. Explore the inspirational and joyful blog, Kind Over Matter.
21. Draw for fun or draw to make people smile πŸ™‚
22. Get rid of two items in your physical environment that make you feel negative.
23. Bite into a piece of fresh fruit.
24. Wear a color that makes you feel confident and joyful!
25. Write down three things that you are grateful for.
26. Call a supportive friend – or reconnect with someone you haven’t spoken to in awhile.
27. Watch the sunset from a beautiful location.
28. Discover something new.
29. Start a book that you’ve been meaning to read.
30. Begin a fun DIY project.
31. Frame a photo of a favorite memory.
32. Take five deep breaths and stretch.
33. Browse books at your local book store (may I suggest one book in particular, Perseverance).
34. Interview yourself (sounds foolish, but can be oh so fun!).
35. Try a new recipe.
36. Learn something new (ex. a new hobby or craft).
37. Redesign (use what you already own to redesign your space) an area of your office or home.
38. Write a thoughtful comment on a personal blog you read (comments mean the world to me – hint hint!).
39. Create a list of 10 things you love about your significant other – surprise him/her with the list.
40. Look on the bright side.
41. Take a short, relaxing nap. Wake up rejuvenated.
42. Ask for support from those you trust with a problem – solving a problem definitely adds joy to the day.
43. Disconnect for lunch – close your door, turn off the computer and blackberry, and simply enjoy a peaceful lunch break alone, or with your friends who made you laugh and smile.
44. Search for a hidden treasure on Ebay or Etsy.
45. Write a hope note and leave it for someone to find.
46. Connect with your fellow tweeters or plurkers. Send a tweet or plurl with a joyful message πŸ˜€
47. Donate one item (or your time) to a local charity.
48. Create a collage (or browse the outstanding galleries) on Polyvore, Picasa or even Photoshop!
49. Create a list of 10 things that make you happy – your own personal β€œjoy” list.
50. Make a commitment to do at least one thing per day that adds joy to your life.

So, don’t feel sad everytime, be happy and have be a jolly person! ^^
