I am happier when...

[cjsmith]

I help someone else.
I have accomplished something I can be proud of (large or small). (This was like "emotional weather insurance" for a few days.)
It's sunny out and/or I have a lot of light where I am.
I take occasional breaks just to relax.
I'm watching my kitties do something cute.
I've had a shower, food, and sleep recently.
I'm hearing happy-sounding (usually energetic) music.
I am exercising regularly or I have exercised recently.

What about you?

All those, and:

I see pretty plants, especially self-sewn or otherwise untended ones
I am spending time with dogs
I am deep in the throes of learning something new for my own sake
I'm listening to or reading a really well written book
My environment is on the less messy side
