Create a folder on your computer to keep your happy things in. Open it occasionally, maybe every couple of months. It will give you a smile, and knowing it's there will give you a reason to add more.
When your day with your kids is challenging, look for one small win and cheer it on. A made bed, brushed teeth, or a toy moved to a shelf. However small, make it a big deal with a treat and praise. You'll both find the day improves from that moment on.
Jot down a list of activities that make you happy. Include a few you can do on the spur of the moment. When you're stressed, pull out your Instant Cheer list and do a happy thing. You'll enjoy the day better for it.
Stuff can get in the way of you. Throw something out. You'll feel freer, and you'll have less to clean. Do it now!
