100 Rules of Happiness: Rule 47

Know your comfort food!

Comfort food is a gift to yourself. It’s associated with good thoughts & warm feelings,  so it improves your sense of well-being & decreases loneliness. It’s the friend who never disappoints or ditches you. It’s  a “social surrogate.” So next time you need a little emotional pick-up, don’t be ashamed to crave the crispy, salty, starchy, soft, sweet or sinful…just bite in! 

Remember not to go overboard though. If you need comfort food all the time, then you may want to look at the deeper cause for needing so much comfort. Therapy perhaps?!

100 Rules of Happiness: Rule 46

When you can’t change something, change your attitude towards it!

We can’t always change the things around us. But we can change our attitude towards them. Events, people and situations may not be of our choosing, but our attitudes and how we decide to see them, is our own choice. So choose your attitude --- choose a happier life.

Be demonstrative!

Loosen up and cuddle. Be demonstrative about your affection towards the people you are close to. Physical touch (the non sleazy type) is not only comforting, but it also creates a warm and fuzzy feeling. It creates wonderful bonds, transfers positive energy and brings people closer. It keeps them and you healthier too.
