I'm going to miss hugs
What are some ways you reduce stress and create happiness in your everyday life?

Reduce stress:

I sleep!
A long hot bath helps.
Talking with somebody, anybody can help.
I usually feel better once a decision is made. This stay or go-to-Spain issue two weeks ago
was an exception because I felt it was a lose/lose situation. It still is.
I calm down when I can come up with plan B.
I live beneath my means.
I tune out.

Create happiness?

Not happening. I don't 'create' happiness. I merely chose to go for a walk, open my senses up to everything around me. I delight in reading comments people leave (no, you don't have to agree with me) because it makes me feel visible. IRL, a smile or a small kindness (someone gave me an apple today) counts ... A LOT. I gave up on phone calls. As I've mentioned elsewhere I survive on crumbs.

Yes, I indulged by buying cashews earlier this week and pie on Pi Day ... but indulging does not equal happiness.

Hugs can help; I'm going to miss them this month.
