Find Your Relationship’s Happy Place

 

Does it ever seem like your partner just can’t do anything right?

We’ve all felt it … Those little annoyances start to pile up, and poof! Pretty soon all we can do is zero in on the negatives. We get so caught up in the “wrong” things they’re doing, that we aren’t able to notice any of the “right” stuff.

But chances are, you’re together with your partner for a reason and there’s a lot of love there. We want you to rediscover it again and to do so, you need to start focusing on all of the positives in your partner.

So this weekend, we challenge you to turn your attention toward the good stuff. Notice the nice things your partner does, whether it’s pouring you a cup of coffee in the morning, giving you a warm hug, making a big grocery run, or putting the kids to bed at night.

Take it a step further and write down five things that make your partner such a great one. Chances are there will be a lot of amazing things on that list! 

What we think about grows, so focusing your thoughts on the positives will actually help you experience even more things to be thankful for. And if you’re complimenting your other half for all they do, they’ll probably want to do more of those nice things that bring you so much joy!

Wishing you a happy and love-filled weekend,

Emily and the EveryDay Happy Team

These days, many of us are so pressed for time that we give ourselves few moments to do what actually excites us. But even if your day feels impossibly stuffed, you can make time for what really matters.

Sounds nice, but how, you may be wondering? I’m so happy you asked!

You Are Enough, Right Now

You Are Enough, Right Now

Some days you may feel like you’re not good enough, or doing enough. You may wish you could snap your fingers and turn into a version of yourself you think you should be with a perfect job, spotless house, and exciting hobbies (or whatever your definition of an ideal life may be).  

But here’s something you need to know … You are wonderful, just as you are. You are enough, right now.

A Less Stress Summer

A Less Stress Summer

Summer is synonymous with relaxation, but sometimes we find ourselves stressed out and not living our best, “feet in the sand, good book in hand,” season.
