Happiness in a Recession

What I'm looking for is a blessing that's not in disguise. ~Kitty O'Neill Collins




A few days ago I came across an article that basically echoed the sentiments of many previous articles here on Kona Yoga:

• Take care of Yourself
• Become more charitable
• Spend more time and money on enjoyable activities
• Invest in relationships
• Focus on what you're grateful for

The title of the article? "5 Ways To Be Happy in a Recession".

I'm going to add a few more:

• Declutter. As all Feng Shui experts will tell you, it allows room for more to come into your life.
• Learn something new: a new language, skill or hobby.
• Foster your creativity.
• Regroup and recoup.
• Re-examine your beliefs.

All of these suggestions can lift you out of the "doom and gloom" mood and kick-start you toward something new and improved. If you'd like to follow this train of thought, I'll be posting more links and suggestions at Lessons in Balance, my latest blog.
