Enjoyment is not the same as gratitude

For many years we have been encouraged to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. This is indeed a wonderful thing.

However, in the "happy" book what I am encouraging readers to do, is to look for those things they really ENJOY doing. There are many things we can be grateful for in our lives but some of them may have been painful lessons. In order to live happy lives, we need to know what we ENJOY doing and do LOTS of it!

So, today, begin your list. Write down the big things you ENJOY and the little things. Taking your dog for a walk, catching up with workmates after the weekend, lunch with a friend, exercising, pretty flowers in a shop window or in your garden...Throughout the coming days, every time you realise you are enjoying something make a quick note. You will be surprised how many things you find! You will be surprised how much you enjoy the process. Give yourself the gift of happiness and come and tell us about your happy moments!
