Get happier with my magic formula
plus recipe for JOY!
Hey there, SmileOverSpilledMilk Fam!🌱
What makes you smile? Laugh? Go giddy with glee?
For some, it’s a walk barefoot through the grass. For another, it’s a spin on a roller coaster, a solo movie date, or a perfectly ripe mango.
So… when was the last time you did something that makes you happy?
If it’s been awhile, consider this:
Happiness lowers stress levels, increases immune system function, and lowers your risk of disease. It also makes life easier.
The Magic Formula for Daily JOY✨✨✨
Doing one pleasurable thing per day (or more!) is the most powerful antidote for gray, boring, or stressful days. Try this:
1️⃣Make an “I love” list. List everything that you enjoy—nothing is too small or too large. If you enjoy it, get it on the list.
2️⃣Take a look at how you spend your days. When could you fit in a little pleasure? Perhaps you could leave the office at lunch to walk in the park? Maybe you could play your favorite music while doing the dishes? Book yourself a massage this weekend?
3️⃣Repeat daily—or more often, as needed. To get you started down the road of pleasure, give this luscious recipe a try
Here’s my recipe for JOY:
☕☕Masala Chai
Crush fresh spices: cinnamon, cloves, black (or white) pepper, cardamom, mint leaves, tulsi leaves, fresh ginger.
Add this to boiling water. After a minute, add tea powder and bring it to a boil.
Add milk of choice (mine is fresh cow milk) to this black tea.
You can add your sweetener of choice. Although I would recommend drinking as is (i.e., without any sweetener) or with a little bit of jaggery, if you do feel the need for sweetness.
Enjoy while watching the sunset 🌅
