Things don’t always go the way we hope. Other times, no matter how much we try, we can’t find the solution we are looking for. In such cases, a distraction can be helpful. Many discoveries are known to be a result of insight that appears in a state where the mind is not consciously busy with the problem anymore.
Here are some of my happy distractions:
Comedy shows – sometimes all we need is a good laugh;
Creativity – creating art or even just a dish is like meditation to me. I may not have the talent, but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the process;
Nature and animals – spending time in nature, watching the sunset, or being around animals is one of my favorite distractions;
Talking to a friend – a positive pal to chat with is another great distraction, and often provides a fresh perspective on a problem that you may have;
Achieving small goals – I often delay chores, but when I need a mood boost, crossing some small tasks off my list boosts my overall productivity and mood.
To join the challenge, create lists of things that make you happy and use “My Happy List” in the title.

Hi
Nature is what I like most about the sea and the green of the mountain.
also the crafts make my head fly and of course photography goes out to hunt images.
These are all wonderful things 🙂
I love everything you said, maybe I don’t watch shows so much anymore.
Thank you very much!
I like a lot of different things, great question.
I love to go for walks.
I really love being out on the water.
These are both great! It’s always good to know the things that make you happy.
it really does, I know I should post a happy list. Just trying to cut my time here on Virily.
As long as the message of the post is positive, the title doesn’t matter.

Thanks for sharing this. I like to make playlists on my Spotify account and listening to them. I watch movies and television in English.
