Good Morning Questions That Create Happiness


Voltaire says, “Judge someone by their questions, rather than by their answers.”
In other words, the right kind of questions are those that expand your thinking. They make you reflect on how to be better and do better. They can also help determine the quality of your day.

A good question can be especially helpful in the morning when you’re trying to get ready for work or school.

So, why not try to add some liveliness and vigor to your mornings with a few motivational questions?

Starting your day out with purpose and a sense of gratitude has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to live a happy, fulfilling life.

Asking the right questions in the morning has the power to put you in a good mood for the whole day. As a result, having a positive mindset allows you to focus more, retain more information, and get more done.

Here are seven good morning questions to create happiness and start your day with focus and energy. Try them out and see which ones work best for you.

1. What is the most important thing I can do today for my well-being?

There’s a reason why they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others. So, take the time to figure out what you can do to serve your own well-being.

Remember, every day is a new chance to change and improve the life you’re living. Work hard to reach your goals and achieve the things you believe in. Take small steps, and before you know it, you’ll get closer and closer to your goals.

2. What am I excited about accomplishing today?

Visualize your schedule for the day, starting from when you walk out of the door, reach your workplace, then come back home. What tasks do you need to accomplish? Do you have any deadlines for today? Meetings?

Try to picture everything in detail but put more focus on the positive aspects of your day. By giving yourself something to look forward to, you’ll be better equipped to handle the complex or tedious tasks of the day.

3. How can I encourage others, and myself, today?

To accomplish anything meaningful in life, you need to dream big and believe in those dreams. The more you believe, the farther you’ll get.

Yet, sometimes, we need a small push to get us going. This is when spreading around some reassuring words of encouragement and motivation. Be courageous in your thinking, yet also maintain your sense of optimism and cheerfulness.

In other words, have your head in the clouds and your feet firmly planted in the ground.

Don’t forget to spread your eagerness and zeal to everyone around you.

4. What am I grateful for?

Socrates said, “Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.”
Don’t waste your life fixating on what you don’t have rather than what you already have. If you do, you’ll never have enough.

The best thing you can do is appreciate the goodness that’s already yours, and you’ll have plenty to be grateful for. When you appreciate the people and things in your life, you’ll discover that you have a lot to live for.

5. How can I show my love to those I care about?

Relationships with friends, family, and life partners only work when the two sides decide to make a conscious effort to put in the work.

They can be small acts of love and appreciation, just to tell one another that you’re there and that you care.

But these small acts go a long way in, especially when they come from the heart because it’s not so much what you do as it is how you do it.

So, understand what matters most to those you care about. Then, spend a few minutes showing them in their own love language.

6. Can I take a break?

This question can be taken to mean two things: can I take a break for the entire day? Or can I take a break during the day?

If you find that you keep asking yourself the first question every morning, it could be your body’s way of telling you need to schedule time for yourself. Try to set aside no less than 15 minutes each day for some self-care.

On the other hand, if you’re asking yourself ‘Can I take a break during the day?’ that alone can unlock those feel-good hormones and happy emotions.

Even if your schedule is packed for the day, knowing that you have a break coming up will give you something to look forward to.

7. What would I like to remember about today?

Every day is special because it’s a chance to live your truth and take action toward meaningful goals.

Yet, many times we take our days for granted without embracing the gift we’re giving with each sunrise.

So, ask yourself this: what can you do today that’s worth remembering?

I Heart Me: The Science of Self Love



Sometimes people will love their friends, families and even people they don’t really know - yet they don’t practice self-love.

In the quest to be noble and humble, many people have forgotten (or never learned) that in order to be able to give from a well of love, you must first have it for yourself.

In the book I Heart Me: The Science of Self Love, the author shows people how to love themselves in a way that’s compassionate, uplifting and powerful. The teaching is done in a way so that the act of self-love is not one of self-focus or selfishness.

The book opens by going into the different stages of self-love and explaining them. Beginning with low self-worth, the author talks about the frustration point a person reaches when they get fed up with how they feel.

He goes on to discuss the stage that people need to reach, which is realizing that they are worthy and that self-love can lead to self-worth. Not having self-love can impede your life in your personal relationships - but also in your career.

Everyone is born with the ability to have compassion for themselves, but through experiences, life takes that birth knowledge away. The longing to have that compassion is a natural quest, so it calls to people to want to find compassion and love.

What happens is that people begin to look for it in other people rather than in themselves. When they can’t approve of their own self they need someone else to do it.

This can lead to people changing who they are at the core, pretending to be someone they’re not in order to fit in to find acceptance.

Seeking approval and striving to get people to like you can rob you of who you were meant to be. The book covers how you can boost your self-worth and be the authentic person you were meant to be.

It also details how to find health and happiness by practicing self-love. When you become the person you were meant to be through the practice of self-love, it allows you to be true to who you are and that deepens your ability to relate to other people and form bonds.

The author delves into the history of people and explains where the lack of self-love begins. Not loving yourself is something that can be overcome. You’ll also discover that it’s not about the blame.

A lack of self-love that erodes your self-worth is something tha,t once you acknowledge it, you no longer have to work so hard to be the image you’ve created in your mind. The book touches on how the physical can change the emotional.

It also teaches the concept of visualization. Readers will also discover the connection to self-love and body image as well as shame.

Using the principles in the book, you’ll learn how to stop self-criticism and discover how to alter your thoughts to develop lasting compassion and love for yourself.

6 Ways to Add New Things into Your Life to Stir Things Up



“The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.” When you feel bored, you are robbed of hopefulness and excitement. Boredom forces the mind to slip into a state of complacency and, in a way, weakness. Letting boredom interfere with your happiness is optional – so don’t let it happen! Instead, try these 6 ways to fill your life with fun, exciting things to try.

1. Make a Change

Boredom often comes from a lack of activity or interest, so make a change in your life! Start with a change of mindset, whether that means adopting a more optimistic outlook or being more adventurous.

2. Don’t Limit Yourself

If you really want to stir things up, you need to stop putting limitations on yourself. You’re capable of whatever you want to do – it may take some hard work, but you can get there.

3. Go with Your Gut

There’s a voice in your head saying, “Do it!” and another voice saying, “Wait. Let’s take a pause.” Sometimes it’s good to listen to the rational, logical side of your brain. Other times, you need to go with your gut feeling – especially when you’re trying to branch out and try new things.

4. Baby Steps

Have you ever heard of taking baby steps toward something? We can’t always make giant leaps toward our goals or our dreams. Often, we need to start small. Perhaps that means trying a new ice cream flavor or going to a different mall. Little by little, you’ll begin working your mind into being more adventurous.

5. Make a List

Just like a to-do list, you can make a “do” list. Draft up a catalog of things you want to do for yourself – for fun! This list can include all new things, some old things, or all of the above. The point is to hold yourself accountable to branch out of your comfort zone.
