Happiness Homework: What They Forgot to Teach Us in School

What if happiness wasn’t something you waited for… but something you practiced? 😮📚✅

In this video, I introduce Happiness Homework — a simple, realistic way to feel better without toxic positivity, pressure, or pretending everything is fine. 🙃

These are small, doable “assignments” designed to help you build happiness as a skill, not a personality trait.

We were taught math. ✅

We were taught history. ☑️

But no one taught us how to be happy. 🤗

So this video gives you:

• Simple happiness habits you can actually stick to

• A low-effort system for mental health and emotional well-being

• Practical self-care ideas that don’t feel overwhelming

• A realistic approach to personal growth, motivation, and joy

If you’re tired of hustle culture, burnt out on “just be positive,” or looking for mental health tips that actually work, this is for you. 🎒

Tonight’s happiness homework: try just ONE assignment, and let me know which one you chose!

Careful where you search for happiness!

Oh my gosh!!!!

Soooo crazy that I would happen upon this video today!

I recorded it five years ago, but I just realized today that I’ve fallen back into this very same trap again! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! (Maybe it’s a “winter” thing! LOL!)

Do you ever fall into this trap!? How do you handle it? I’d love to hear any tips you’ve got!

(And, again, please ignore the captions in this video…because the “Dreamers in Motion” website no longer exists.)

Simple trick to help you face your fears!

fear

Ever wish you could break free and just face your fears?

Once we sold our home to travel full-time in our RV, we started encountering new experiences on what seemed like a daily basis! And it really became more and more inconvenient to live in fear…especially once there were so many new things that made me fearful.

Fear became one of my worst enemies, always lurking…constantly threatening to make me miss out on potentially wonderful experiences.

I’m still a work in progress in this regard, but one way I’ve started conquering some of my fears is by adopting the following super simple 4-step strategy:

1. Realize that I’m afraid of “X”.

2. Ask myself if I want to remain afraid of “X.”

3. If the answer is “no,” then I ask myself what I would do if I were NOT afraid of “X.”

4. Then I go ahead and do THAT!

I know it sounds too simple to be useful, but it works! I think it works, perhaps, because it reminds me that being afraid is a choice!!!

And then I realize that I can’t really sit around feeling sorry for myself because I’m afraid…because I am the one deciding that it’s scary.

And, honestly, I’m just sick of being afraid of things!!!

This little trick works for physical fears (for example, I’ve been conquering fears of heights, bridges, etc.) or psychological fears (like speaking in front of crowds for example) or any kind of fears you may have.

Are YOU tired of living in fear?! Then, I’d love for you to give this little trick a try and let me know how it goes!
