Summer is in full swing and for some maybe too full as we attend to the many and constant needs of nonprofits. It’s also a time for nurturing our spirit and taking care of self, so when fall comes we are fortified and ready to take on all that we can to fulfill our missions as nonprofit board, staff and volunteers.
So for the next few weeks we’re going to look at Happiness. Consider approaching each day by capturing at least 1-3 moments that you note “this is happiness” because this can augment the way to feel present and attend to the more positive things that are occurring for you.
- Please consider the following open sentence:
One way I am caring for myself this summer is ….
- As you go about your daily life, consider a 1-3 moments in the day that makes you happy.
- Share those moments that made you happy,
- or what you saw making someone happy or
- how you made someone else happy
Share the above on your preferred social media platform and let’s connect and engage on this topic as we enjoy all that summer has to offer.
The teacher at a kindergarten class was asking the children to tell a little bit about themselves. She asked one little girl what was the name of her mother. “Mommy,” she replied.
Although the term is not used very often, “self-happiness” refers to a sense of happiness or satisfaction with oneself. It is often associated with self-confidence, self-esteem, and other concepts that marry “the self” with feeling content and happy. In general, it means that you are pleased with yourself and your choices, and with the person that you are. – https://positivepsychology.com/what-is-happiness
