Are you waking up today feeling like you need to go on a diet after Thanksgiving? Why not try a joy diet instead: the happier you are most likely the healthier you will be, too. Try allowing yourself this list of pleasures:

-Have time to yourself every day to do nothing.

-Buy yourself some flowers.

-Make time to communicate with nature.

-Go for a walk in the park.

-Buy yourself a book or a magazine.

-Watch the latest movie in the cinema.

-Have a cup of coffee in your favorite coffee bar.

-Have your nails done, or for the men, a professional shave.

-Treat yourself to a new perfume or aftershave lotion.

-Get a new hairstyle and be daring.

-Buy the outfit you have been ogling up for the last few weeks.

Then move on to the bigger stuff:

-Take the singing lessons you have wanted to take for years.

-Join the dance club your feet are aching to get into.

-Climb the mountain you have always wanted to conquer.

-Build the house of your dreams.

-Have the relationship of your dreams.

-Travel to wherever your heart takes you.

Enjoy!
