Habits are something I am a huge fan of. Especially when they are happy habits. Today I am sharing 11 happy habits you should really make a part of your daily life.
11 Happy Habits
Say please and thank you: Something we all learned early on but I see fade as we get older. I love when people say it as adults. Says so much about them!
Say “bless you” when someone sneezes: It amazes me how much people don’t do it! Do it!
Open doors for people: It will make their day.
Smile at strangers: Same as above because you never know who needs a smile.
Buy flowers for someone: Your mom, sister, a friend. Just show them you care.
Leave your significant other a sweet note: It really shows how much you love them by making such a small effort.
Do the chores you hate: I hate taking out the trash but I know on the rare occasion I do it so Andrew doesn’t have to it means a lot.
Text a friend: Just to say hi and that you are thinking of them.
Call your parents: Like above, just to say hi and that you are thinking of them.
Feed your body well: The right foods, exercise, lots of water, it’s not only a happy habit but a healthy one.
Be nice to yourself: We can all be so down on ourselves. The best happy habit you can get into is to be nicer to yourself. Negative self talk will not help you ever!
These 11 happy habits when done often will seriously lift your mood and make others see how much you appreciate them, and how much you value yourself.
These are great habits to practice daily! I do most of them already, but I could improve on texting a friend! I’m so lazy with replying messages so it’s a thing I’ve decided to actively work on. 🙂
I absolutely love these! I agree that it is so lovely to see adults who are polite like you are taught as a child! I always smile at strangers, I feel like Im being rude if I don’t haha!! xx
These are some great habits, I feel like I smile at strangers quite a lot lately but it’s not always reciprocated (Vancouver is like that) but thanks for sharing! I’m still going to smile 🙂
Quit body shaming yourself. Find clothes that accent what you do like about yourself. If something doesn’t fit, blame the clothes, not yourself. I am still working on this one.
Great ideas that are simple, yet have a big impact! I am happy to report that I do most of these things, but think I could be better about leaving notes for loved ones, and buying flowers just because for friends or family!
Great list!! I love the smiling at strangers one. Not only are you making yourself happier by smiling, but you are sharing that same happiness with someone else. It is crazy how much one smile can change your entire mood and day! 💕

These are some really positive habits that I feel everyone should adopt. This is fantastic advice.

It’s crazy how the littlest things can mean so much and bring yourself or the one you care about so much joy. Great daily havits
All positive habits! I want to teach my growing baby with such habits too, it would be a good virtue too!
Yes, opening doors for people is such a nice gesture. I love it.
All good tips. As a mom with grown kids, I love the one that says call your parents. 😉
Happy habits are easy to loose, nice reminder!
This is such a great list of things to do on a daily. Even something to show your children as well. I am taking notes on this one for sure!
I get annoyed when someone doesn’t say bless you when I sneeze haha. It takes like half a second or less!
I often perform happy habits for other people; not so much myself. I think I will intentionally set out to feed my body well today.
Love this post! I’d love you to link it to my latest Thankful Thursday post! Learning to FOCUS! Thankful Thursday Week 13
I love these ideas! I think I’ll try and share them with my kids too:).
I agree with all 11 and I was going to add compliment someone but I see another commenter already did so LOL.
Love these! I’ll add: write and MAIL thank you notes 😊

Great reminders! I do a lot of these but I think we all need more happy!

What a great list!!! So many idea that are so simple to do. I will have to start doing a few of these more often
These are great! I would add “move your body” and “get adequate sleep”!
Love these happy habits. I do the same for the trash. Hubby and my son are the ones in charge but whenever I do it I know they are happy about it.
This is very helpful post.
