List for Happiness

So many people complain that their lives are boring, and nothing interesting ever happens to them. We are entirely in control of how interesting our lives are, how much fun we have, and how happy we are. I’m writing this blog because since September, I have been really happy (and I haven’t had any periods of depression anymore), and my life has been so much fun. This is because I made it so. I feel so great. I enjoy life so much! And I want to share that with everyone. So I am making a list of things you can do to be happy, have fun, and have an interesting life.

Firstly, to be successful in achieving extreme happiness and fun, you have to forget about what other people will think. Don’t worry about what a stranger will think of you, you’ll never see this person again! This list is going to make you look silly; people ARE going to think you’re weird. Don’t let yourself care about that. Secondly, you need to learn to laugh at yourself. When you trip and fall, or make a silly mistake, LAUGH! Don’t get down on yourself. Learn to find silly mistakes funny. And thirdly, you need to forget about age taboos. The only thing anyone is too old for is diapers and sucking their thumb. The rest is open to do. So here is the list:

1. Ride your grocery cart back to your car.
2. Run around in the rain.
3. Go barefoot.
4. Sit on a bench with a friend, point up and whisper to eachother. See how many people look where you’re pointing.
5. Go swimming. I’m not talking about doing laps. Splash, surface dive, do flips off of the diving board. (Because no matter how you land, you hit the water and don’t get hurt)
6. Jump on a trampoline. Not a mini trampoline, a real one.
7. Have a water fight.
8. Play tag.
9. Wrestle.
10. Be spontaneous.
11. Blast music and sing along at the top of your lungs.
12. Play on an exercise ball. Don’t work out. PLAY. Try to balance on it and stuff. You can even pretend to be a cat on its back with a ball of yarn.
13. Write a weird story. It doesn’t even have to make sense.
14. Skip instead of walking.
15. DANCE!
16. Have a distance contest with paper airplanes.
17. Invent something that is totally useless.
18. Write a song.
19. Buy a craft kit and make it.
20. Ride a wagon down a hill.
21. Make a weird movie.
22. Build a snowman.
23. Play in the leaves.
24. Go sight-seeing.
25. Invent a new food recipe.
26. Go on a swing and swing as high as you can. Have a contest on who can jump off the farthest.
27. Style your hair or dress up like you would never dare to do. Try a mohawk.
28. Try something new every week.
29. Have a family game night. No excuses, skipping, or postponing allowed.
30. Set up a chain reaction contraption.
Hope you guys have fun with this!
