This time of year can be stressful for a lot of people. While the holidays are supposed to be about spending time with the ones you love, we usually don't do too much of that. For the most part, our time is spent stressing out about hosting dinners or shopping or wondering how we are going to deal with our in laws. It's so easy to get lost in the superficial version of the holidays. So it's around this time, especially, that I like to focus on things that make me happy. I make sure to remember everything I have and how lucky I am to have so many amazing opportunities and privileges. Sometimes it's the little things that we forget about. So instead of thinking about stress and anxiety, I sat down and came up with a list of 100 little things that make me happy and hopefully there is something in here that makes you happy too!
