Focus on what makes you happy!
March is packed with days that provide you an excuse to be happy and celebrate so let’s take advantage of that! International Women's Day, Employee Appreciation, St. Patrick's Day, Happiness Day, Puppy Day… I mean what screams happiness more than a PUPPY!! We want to challenge you to do something that brings you joy every single day this month. Don’t worry we have some ideas on how to make this easier than it might sound.
A great place to start this challenge is during your workday. Adding in some selfcare in between your job duties can provide you with a less stressful and more productive day overall! Now, we understand not everyone has the ability to book an hour facial in the middle of their workday… Here is a list of small activities that are manageable:
✨ Take a walk outside your office building
✨ Positive affirmations in the bathroom mirror
✨ 5 minutes dance party in the supply closet
✨ Buy fancy creamer for your in office coffee
✨ Wake up 30 minutes earlier to practice a morning routine (skincare, stretching, healthy breakfast)
✨ Write down 3 moments that made you smile at the end of your workday
✨ Call a loved one on your break and catch up
These may seem small but creating a habit out of them can leave you happier with your day! My personal favorite is the 5 minute dance party!
This was a chill read—no fluff, no trying to sound smart for no reason. I liked that the ideas were broken down in a way where you can just keep going without stopping to decode what they mean, and the quick examples made it feel practical instead of “tips for tips’ sake.” Halfway through I ended up clicking around newimage.io too, mostly because it gave me the same kind of straightforward, guide-y vibe when you want to check something fast. What really helped here was how it explained the reasoning behind the advice, not just the steps. Also, the page itself is easy on the eyes, with clear headings and short chunks of text that make skimming actually work.
