It is amazing how quickly our lives can become drab and boring if we do not have something to look forward to. We wait far too long for that once-a-year vacation or that special event. It just isn’t enough. Or perhaps it might be enough, but being successful is not about having just enough—it’s about abundance and happiness. You need an abundance of good things to look forward to—a bare minimum of at least one thing every day. Don’t overlook the simple things, which are often the most rewarding, and bring us the greatest joy and happiness.

To get you thinking, here are some simple things you could look forward to on a weekly or daily basis that are very likely to boost your happiness:

a half-hour of peace to meditate or write in a journal
write a thank you note
take a walk with a friend
ride your bike through the park
enjoy a bubble bath
see a play or go to the theatre or a concert
try out a new restaurant
call a friend or relative for a good chat
read a book
cook and enjoy a favorite meal or dish with your friends
have a safari dinner party or potluck supper
a good stretch or 20 minutes of yoga
a massage
20 minutes sun-bathing
a dance or exercise class
book lunch or coffee with a friend
buy or pick a bunch of fresh flowers and give them to a friend for no reason
write down all the things you are most grateful for right now

These are a few simple ideas to get you started so feel free to add your own ideas as well. Sometimes it is easier to incorporate happy boosting activities into your daily life by designing an ideal morning and evening routine. If you start and end the day well, you’ll have something to look forward to twice a day!

What is your ideal morning or evening?

Treat yourself with as many elements of your ideal day as possible, and you will be happier and more energized throughout the day. Take a few minutes right now to write down in vivid detail your ideal day from the moment you wake up in the morning until you fall asleep at night. How many elements of your ideal day are possible to do every day starting right now? Give yourself the time to enjoy your day and you’ll be glad to get up and out of bed every morning.

One of my clients realized, after writing down her ideal day, that she could immediately start living her ideal morning simply by changing her routine. She envisioned having a cup of tea on her deck overlooking the garden, while enjoying a homemade blueberry muffin and writing in her journal. All she needed to do was bake a batch of muffins, freeze them and then pop one in the microwave oven in the morning. She already had a lovely deck overlooking the garden so it was just a matter of using it. Now that she has her ideal morning well established, she is thinking about how she’d like to adjust her evenings for greater happiness.

Another proven method of boosting your overall happiness is to have something big to look forward to as well. By planning fun events or trips in advance, you build up excitement and anticipation. It might be that you are planning a surprise birthday party for a friend, or a special dinner party, or a trip or weekend getaway. Again, it doesn’t take much to create more fun. I recently did a safari dinner party with two other couples. We had starters at my house with cocktails, then moved to the next house for a main course and ended at the last couple’s house for dessert and coffee. We all agreed that it was more fun as you only had the one course to prepare and present and could relax and enjoy the other courses.

Think about your ideal day and book in a few things to look forward to this week. You’ll be happier the moment you do it!

With the UK being a few weeks into another strict lockdown, each worrying news story we read can make the current situation feel overwhelming. It’s important to try and keep a positive mental attitude to get through these difficult times together, and with that being easier said than done, we think it’s more important than ever to think about the future and some of the positive things we can look forward to in 2021 and beyond.

Meeting up with friends and family
Zoom calls have been a blessing to so many people since the first lockdown in March 2020, but nothing can compare to socialising face-to-face with our nearest and dearest. There will likely still be restrictions for some time to come, but we cannot wait to meet up in person with our friends and family and make many more happy memories when it is safe to do so.

Lighter nights and warmer weather
As much as we love the cosy winter nights, by the time January and February come around we are fully ready for Spring to bloom and the nights to get lighter. More hours of daylight and warmer temperatures mean we can spend more time outdoors and enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons as flowers begin to bloom and trees flourish with shades of green. Difficult times just seem that little bit easier when the sun is shining!

Getting back to work and school
For many of us, routine and purpose are the things that keep us grounded and stable in daily life, and while the furlough scheme has been an amazing support to so many people unable to work during the pandemic, many have unfortunately lost their jobs. We must stay positive and hopeful for the time where the economy will thrive again, employment will improve and furlough will be a thing of the past. We will get there.

A big shout out to all of the parents who are homeschooling, remember you’re doing your best, the kids will get back to school and into a routine in the near future. And a massive THANK YOU to all of the amazing keyworkers who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic.

Eating out in our favourite restaurants
Hospitality has been hit hard by the pandemic and many restaurants across the country have been forced to close for much of the past year. While some people have taken up home cooking as a new lockdown hobby, many are still looking forward to treating themselves to a lovely meal in their favourite restaurant. We are so lucky in the UK to have such a diverse mix of culture and food available, and not having to do the dishes is a bonus!

Going on holiday
Many of us have enjoyed discovering the beautiful scenery right on our doorstep recently, but we cannot wait to pack a suitcase and head off for a well deserved break away from home. With travel abroad so uncertain right now, you may wish to visit some of the stunning coastal towns or cultural cities in the UK. Maybe you’ve got plans for new destinations to explore once it’s safe to do so. Whatever your next holiday looks like, spending some quality time relaxing and having fun is what we all need right now!

The first live concert or show post-lockdown
The majority of live entertainment was cancelled indefinitely back in the first lockdown and has never resumed for many venues and events. Online and virtual concerts have given us that live music fix in recent months, however, there is simply no comparison to the atmosphere and buzz of being in the crowd at a live show. Remember dancing? It’s been quite a long time, but even with our slightly embarrassing, rusty dance moves, we’ll be the first ones on the dance floor when that delightful time eventually comes.

Planning for the future
Many things in our lives have been put on hold for almost a year, but with advancements in Covid testing and the vaccine roll-out well under way, we can finally look to the future and begin planning for all the exciting times ahead. Whether you’re getting married, planning to travel, buy a house, or starting that new hobby you’ve always wanted to get into, it may still be a while off yet, but now is the time to start thinking about your goals and dreams for the future.

Whatever you’re looking forward to when restrictions ease, one thing is certain for us all, we will appreciate our freedoms so much more than ever before. That well known phrase - we don’t truly appreciate what we have until it’s gone - has never been more relevant. So be grateful for what you have now, for your friendships and relationships, and don’t take anything for granted!
