1. Send a random list email: “The ten best things we ever did together”; “Your five best body parts and why”; “Six things I would buy you today if I were Richy McRichersons”; “Nine nice things I’ve heard people say about you”. Just because.
2. Buy someone a beverage you know they crave, just to see them go, “Ohhh! I totally wanted one of those!”
3. Ask someone how they are, and actually listen. Looking them in the eye. Not doing anything else. Asking follow up questions.
4. For once, don’t complain about the thing you always complain about. Unless it’s funny. Then do WAY MORE COMPLAINING.
5. Eat something you REALLY want for dinner. Even if it takes time and a bit of effort.
6. Laugh at a joke that someone tells that isn’t actually witty at all. I know it goes against your human instinct to encourage lame humour, but doing it once won’t upset the balance of the planet.
7. Open a window. Breathe.
8. Do a small chair dance to the song of your choice. Make it good.
Yes, I know that happy lists make people want to gouge their eyes out in the morning, but you know how I roll.
Yes, I also know that the phrase “You know how I roll!” makes people want to gouge their eyes out in the morning.
Why can’t I stop laughing?
