Happy fall, friend!

September to December is my favorite time of year, so a few years ago I created a “Fall Joy List” to savor the season. (“Savoring life’s joys” is 1 of 12 happiness-enhancing strategies extensively studied and proven to boost your wellbeing.)

If you’re looking for ideas to increase your happiness and mindfulness, check out the printable checklist below.

Tip: Block 20 minutes on your calendar now for the next ten Fridays (or whatever day works best) to do one of these wellbeing activities, just for you.

Here is idea #1:
Close your eyes and take 10 minutes to remember one of your favorite fall memories. Bonus: write about it.

Did you go on a hayride?
Walk through a haunted house?
Roast marshmallows?
Go trick or treating?
Bake an apple pie?
Get lost in a corn maze?
Carve a pumpkin?
Watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade?

Think about all the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes—relive that favorite memory.
