I got this idea from Kate1975’s Blog, and I think it’s a great self-care idea, albeit not always easy. I decided to create my own Bliss List that I can refer back to when I need to feel that rush of “happy” brain chemicals that comes from thinking of those things that bring bliss.
So, other than chocolate (which I am not denying causes bliss as I purposely leave it off my list anyway because a big part of my reason for creating this list right now is to use it as an alternative to using food for comfort) and my family and friends, with whom I always find comfort and healthy laughter, here are the first three items on my Bliss List, which is not in a specific order:
1. My Emily

2. That shade-family of blue that is a variation of turquoise, aqua, neon blue, and electric blue

3. Tulips

Hi,
I love your list. It sounds like you are well on your way to some great things for your list.
It looks like Emily is sticking her tongue out at you. Too cute.
I love tulips too. But I think that for me daisies are bliss.
