Simple Ways to Make Yourself Happy - Just Menong

In the midst of my routine activities, of course, I often feel bored or dizzy. There are many ways to make myself happy. In the past, dozens of years ago, chocolate and books were two magical things that made me happy. Since I didn't have much time and kept myself from consuming too much sugar as I got older, I automatically left these two fun hobbies behind. What are some simple ways to make myself happy, according to me?

Let's take a look at the list:

Lying around

I am a true couch potato. For some reason, one of the things that makes me happy is being able to lie down whenever and wherever I want.

Since I spend around 8 hours outside the house (7 am–4 pm), staying in my room and lazing around on the bed is my main choice in my free time. Of course, after all the work is done. I am a morning person who prefers to do many things in the morning.

This hobby is sometimes protested by my mother because I always do this lazy habit every time I 'land' at my mother's house. Not without reason; sometimes the work I do does not recognize weekends or weekdays, so being lazy becomes the first option to recharge my energy.

And thank God, Zauji and Zauji's mother never fussed with my habit and were quite understanding when I needed enough rest. Not being one of those who have a hobby of staying up late, I would choose to sleep even at special events that are usually celebrated by many people, such as New Year and others.

Instagram

Seeing Instagram posts is one of the things that makes me relaxed and happy. I hardly ever watch TV. I follow all news developments on social media, Instagram, and Twitter. Don't ask about advertisements and celebrity gossip; honestly, I will answer that I don't know unless the news appears on my Instagram homepage.

Dreaming of having our own house; currently we both still live in Zauji's mother's house; looking at house designs on Instagram is the next way to be happy. Beautiful designs with all their details that I will save as a provision for designing our house.
Although it is still far from having our own house, designing and choosing materials and all the knick-knacks is a pleasure in itself. Aamiin.

Together with Zauji

Even though we are no longer in a long-distance relationship, we can't just spend time together all week. Tasks that sometimes have uncertain times, plus we also have to share to take care of Mom and Zauji's mom, who both live alone, make us have to be smart in managing time together.

If I have the opportunity to work in the city, Zauji usually accompanies me to the hotel at night. During the pandemic, I usually get a room for one person, so I am free to invite Zauji or family to stay with me.

Other times we also deliberately go out of town to visit relatives or friends. Going together on a motorcycle, we spend time chatting excitedly throughout the trip. If that is not possible, walking around the city or just buying snacks around the village is enough fun for us.

Happiness is simple. It doesn't need expensive costs or a long time as a simple way to make yourself happy. The most important thing is that happiness comes from ourselves. A happy person will certainly be able to give an aura of happiness to others too.
