Write. Exercise. Unplug. Serve. Meditate. Read.

Write. Jot down a few things you are thankful for. Set a goal to write out “X” number of things you are thankful each day. Try to start with two or three things each day! Point out the positive aspects in your day.

Exercise. Simply moving for 10-15 minutes throughout the day can provide your body with a HUGE energy boost. Find a friend outside of work to take a walk with at a park or ask a co-worker to join you on a walk during a 15-minute break!

Unplug. Turn off the phone, the emails, the television, etc. for an hour or two a day. Consider spending time outside and enjoying all that nature has to offer.

Serve. Find a place to volunteer or help with things in your community. See Mary Beth for ways to serve on our Helpers of People Team or see Ray for ways to join our Prayer Team. Small acts of kindness can help with your overall happiness.

Meditate. Whether that is in prayer or silence, just sit and breathe! Try to find 10 minutes in your day to focus on absolutely nothing except your breathing.

Read. Find a book series you love, a daily devotional or a magazine that interests you. Simply reading 5-10 pages a day engages your brain in a subject you enjoy and triggers more happiness!
