The Happiness Equation - English 8



The Happiness Equation

Assignment is on my blog:

  1. Think about small things that are awesome…  like on this list…
Crossing off the last item on your list
Putting on warm pants from the dryer
Finding money you didn’t know you lost
When you’re really tired and about to fall asleep and someone throws a blanket on you
When you get the milk: cereal ratio just right
The other side of the pillow

Come up with your own list of five (5) awesome things.  (Or More!)

2. Watch this video:

3. The 20 X 20 Challenge

Each day you must do one or two of these three things…  and today, to get a head start, you will do all three!

  1. A brisk 20-minute walk
  2. Write down five (5) things that you are grateful for
  3. Do something kind or helpful


So… write down five things for which you are grateful.
Now, all together, go for a 20 minute brisk walk.
Now, write down your homework -- an act of kindness that you will do for someone.  If you end up doing something else, spur-of-the-moment, that’s okay!   But be prepared to write about it next week!
