Celebrating Everyday Happiness

Celebrate Your Life for every small step forward

Not everything needs to be big and extravagant when you want to find happiness. Take time to notice the small joys you experience every day. It could be a good cup of coffee while you watch the sunrise from your kitchen window, a kind word or two with someone you see on a walk, or even just a quiet moment enjoying the warmth of the sunshine.

Try keeping a journal where you can write down everything you are grateful for. Gratitude is the key to happiness. Write down three things you’re thankful for daily.

While a big win is good, you should also celebrate the small steps that brought you to the pinnacle. Remember, every step, no matter how small, matters.
Start the day knowing what you want and intend to accomplish. As you run your morning routines, smile in the mirror and think of a positive affirmation. A smile and good thoughts will help you get going.

Have mini celebrations for the steps you accomplish. I have taco Tuesdays. Yours can be anything you like: a free concert in the park, a pizza night, or anything you find happiness in. Everyone involved feels good if you share that joy with others, even if it is saying hi to a stranger or sending a kind message to a good friend.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
