Optimist’s Guide to Finding Happiness in the Little Things

During the Winter Quarter, Optimists are looking to spread Optimism and Happiness throughout their community. Sometimes it is hard to find happiness in the day when you may be hurting or discouraged of where the world is. For Optimists, it can be something as small as the sun is shining outside or cleaning my room. Here are some tips that Optimists do to find happiness in the little things.

1. Find Joy in your Everyday Routine

This can be the first cup of coffee in the morning or being able to watch the sunset from your window, find pleasure in the simple moments.

2. Find Happiness in moments of failure

It was once said, “Failure is part of success.” When things don’t go your way, think about what you learned from the experience.

3. No job is too small

Optimists understand that each job plays a role in making a project or Club run. No matter what the title, they will make the best of the job.

4. Being Open to New and Different Perspectives

Change can be scary but listening to someone with new ideas can be helpful. Trying these new ideas could make things better long term for your Club and may get new Members excited and involved!

5. Actively Choose Optimism

Finding good things throughout the day keeps spirits high and helps you be mindful of what you are grateful for.
