I read an interesting online article about Happy People and some of the traits they all shared. I'm hoping we are all one of the "Happy People" in the new year!
- Happy people say YES more than they say NO.
- Happy people laugh, joke, and have a sense of humor.
- Happy people live with a feeling of Gratitude.
- Happy people speak well of others more often than not.
- Happy people Listen.
- Happy people believe in something and they let go of control.
- Happy people accept imperfections and are willing to forgive and move on.
- Happy people are of service to others and have positive expectations
- Happy people are detached from the approval of others.
- Happy people actively focus on health, exercise and work/life balance.
For me personally, I would have to add that "Happy People need some sunshine on a regular basis".
AND
that "Happy People have a relationship with God", but perhaps that's under the umbrella of #6.

perfect list and I agree completely!
ReplyDeleteYour additions complete the list, especially about having a relationship with God.
ReplyDeleteMay I just say "AMEN" :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is said perfectly with your addendums. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love it, although I will admit I have a problem with the whole letting go of control thing! I agree that a relationship with The Lord goes on that list!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your additions and with the list. I would put your additions as being the most important on the list. Happiness is a choice though. There are plenty of reasons to be unhappy, I choose to be happy instead.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely check out my last post.

Great list! I don't always have those traits, but I'm happy more often than not.
ReplyDeleteGreat list and your additions are perfect. I think I might add.....even happy people sometimes feel sad and overwhelmed, but they recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list and I really like your additions, especially the last one!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the list, wish I had more of the list in me (although I do consider myself a happy person) and I would only add: Happy people have chocolate atleast once a day...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI agree- I think Happy people look for the Happy in all situations. There is nothing better than sharing a laugh with someone over some silly little thing.
ReplyDeleteI think the unexpected laugh coming from someone that seldom laughs is the best of all- xo Diana
I think it is a great list and a good reminder to all of us. I think some of the things on the list have come to me as I have gotten older, especially letting go of control.
