Lisa’s List of 50 Feel Good Things

I recently came across a website called “1000 Awesome Things,” filled with things the author, and others, have found to be “awesome.” These include things like “When little babies let out adult-sized burps” or “Sleeping with one leg under the covers and one leg out.” The site was so inspirational, I thought I’d share my own list of 50 things that put me in a good mood. Some of them are things you can do to put yourself in a good mood, and others are things that just happen on their own, but all are sure to make you smile. One of the benefits of Nature Made SAM-e Complete is maintaining a good mood naturally, but it also helps to know what that good mood really feels like. Hopefully you can help by contributing to my list.

1. Reading a good book before bed.
2. Eating just enough (not too full, not still hungry).
3. Listening to an audio book during a road trip.
4. Seeing an old friend at a random time and place.
5. Finding a great parking spot.

20. Putting on clothes fresh out of the dryer.
21. Getting mail that isn’t a bill or junk mail.
22. Having someone scratch your back.
23. Waking up before everyone else and enjoying the quiet time to yourself.
24. When you are in line at the store and a clerk opens a new lane and says, “I can take the next customer over here,” and YOU are that next customer.
25. Singing really loudly in the car, pulling up to a red light and seeing that the person next to you is listening to the same station and is also singing loudly.
26. Getting paid a compliment by a stranger.
27. Holding hands.
28. Throwing a surprise party for someone, and seeing the look on their face.
29. Waking up before the alarm goes off.
30. Playing with a puppy.
31. When a neighbor or friend returns something you let them borrow.
32. Having a picture turn out perfectly.
33. Coming back from the restroom at a restaurant to find your dinner waiting.
34. Getting home just in time for a favorite show.
35. Stumbling across a community event you didn’t know about.
36. Watching your team win.
37. The first cool night of autumn after a brutal summer.
38. When the boss brings in bagels for everyone, and you get your favorite kind.
39. When you park at a meter that still has time left on it.
40. Finding something on sale.
41. Tuning in to a radio station just as a favorite song starts.
42. Paying it forward.
43. Having some chocolate.
44. Knowing all the words to a song, or having the right quote for an occasion.
45. Going to a wedding.
46. The smell of a clean puppy.
47. Eating an apple and getting a really good, crisp bite.
48. Reading an old journal entry and remembering exactly how you felt that day.
49. Singing in the shower.
50. Getting everything done.

So, as I noted before, this list is by no means exhaustive. I’d love to hear about the things that happen to you in your life that really make you feel good inside and out. Even if you feel like your mood swings from good to not so good, these are the things that will make you feel good every time. What can you help add to my list?
