Happiness Without Price

*categories taken from an article; I edited it out to be more suitable for pinoys.

Here are some ways to be happy without too much spending (or without spending money at all!)

Friends – call one of your friends and ask what’s new about them.

Challenge – think of a subject that you wish you knew more about, then spend 15 minutes on the internet reading about it, or take a step forward acquiring a new skill that you want (ex: search for a nearest and less pricey yoga class).

Do good, feel good – sign up or participate in an org.

Energy – walk around!

Order – clear clutter.  Reorganize your cabinet / workstation.

Guilt – apologize, confess, repair, replace or return something that you borrowed.

Nagging tasks – fix something broken.  Fixing things will give you a sense of achievement.

Good citizen – smile at a bank teller.  And to a bus conductor.  And to a stranger who seemed grouchy.

Gratitude – reflect.  Meditate.  Pray.

Famous last words:

“The true journey of the soul is all about mastery of the self and owning up to one’s ability to use power as a mean to get closer to completeness; or to emptiness.”
