Five lesser-known habits that make life 10x more enjoyable

I learned over the years not to depend on external events for my happiness.

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that life needs to be somehow enjoyable or interesting for me to enjoy myself.

Thinking this can stress us because we’re at the mercy of things going right, which they often do not.

So how do ensure we live well?

We focus on repeating certain kinds of actions that reflect our own choice to live life well — regardless of the circumstances.

There’s a big difference there.

We create our reality.

We don’t wait for it.

Here are some fun habits that can make for a funner life:

Take action, regardless of how you feel.

Don’t wait to feel good before doing stuff.

Too many of us value our feelings as an indicator of what’s worth doing.

You don’t need to feel good to act.

You must act regardless of the flatness, the fear or the frustration.

Everything changes when you design a life biased to leaning in and doing things.
