Little Things To Make YOU Happy.

1. Making playlists on Youtube of your favourite things.

 Whether it is a music video or just your favourite video of your idol, make it so when you are feeling down you can just press play and fall into a world full of all your favourite things and forget about the thing that is bringing you down. I always make playlists like this and then I can look back after a couple of months and get reminded of all the little things I loved. You also have to remember that it doesn't have to be recent videos either, they can be really old songs or something that triggers happy memories. 

2. Writing lists.

 Lists aren't just there for organising things, I write them all the time just to clear my mind. Maybe write a list of things you are looking forward to or things that are making you feel sad so you can put them in perspective. Having a special notepad or a book that you can write them down in can help as it makes them more precious. Paperchase is a great store to purchase stationery items as they are all beautiful designs and not too on the pricey side. 

3. Having a folder of happiness.

 I find Pinterest a great website to gather up pictures that I love and to present them in a board which I can then easily access whenever I want. You can pin pictures of anything; people who make you happy, food, music & bands, places in the world, artwork and photography. If you wanted something more personal or you don't have Pinterest then make a file on your phone or computer of photos that make you happy or photos that trigger happy memories that you have taken yourself. Then if you ever feel down then all you have to do is open the file, put on some of your favourite music and browse through the file reminding you of happy places and memories. 

4. Call a friend.

 This is so important. If you are ever feeling down or upset, you should never have to do it alone. Just call or text a friend and talk it through and if you don't want to talk about it, arrange to go shopping or have a sleepover just something to take your mind off things. You will be surprised how much better you will feel after a good day out with friends or family, just have a laugh and push the negative aside.

5. Treat yourself.

 Now and again we all have to treat ourselves. Whether it is a big, bubble bath or just buying a desired mascara you have wanted for ages, it still counts. You always have to remember to treat yourself, it is a vital thing! You, yourself, are a human being and we can't wall work constantly for 24/7 so make sure you make time for yourself. Me time; watch your favourite musical, paint your nails neon orange, make an extra large hot chocolate, grab every blanket and cushion you can get your hands on and build a fort, curl up and read an 1000 page novel. No one is stopping you. 

Thank you for reading this post. I hope you are having a brilliant week and you just have to remember you are a human being, you can't take the whole world in one day. 

Love, Scarlet x
