Happiness is just ten things away
You Gotta Get Rid Of … to be happy:
- clothes you haven’t worn in a year
- kitchen gadgets you haven’t used in a year
- old food in the refrigerator
- any item that makes you feel guilty—unused 3-lb dumbbells, bulk protein powder, crochet needles you haven’t learned how to use
- uncomfortable shoes
- tchotchkes with dust on them … if you haven’t picked them up and savored the memory in long enough for dust to accumulate, you don’t need the physical reminder
- hobbies you do for someone else (think a book club you feel obligated to stay in)
- money or time: donate to others
- the sleep button on your alarm
- friendships that don’t work for you anymore
You Gotta Get … to be happy:
- your favorite articles of clothing
- healthy food
- a yoga mat
- nice sheets or great pillows
- a pamperping treat: massage, mani/pedi (dudes too)
- photos, and enough storage online to hold them
- hobbies you love
- a cause you feel passionate about
- a morning ritual
- real, solid friendships
