Beat some stress with the Happy Creator

Economy got you down? Feeling some pain at the gas pump? Stressed every time you turn on CNN? Yeah, me too. So I was intrigued when I found the Happy Creator.

It's a nice little exercise that helps you remember some of the things you can be happy about. It's just a list generator but, when you fill it with things that make you happy, you can go back and read it when you're feeling a little too much stress. Maybe you got some amazing new coffee to drink in the mornings or you had a really great workout yesterday. Add it to your happy list. Be detailed or be brief. It's completely up to you - it's your happy list after all.

You can also visit the Happy House for a list of things other people have been happy about, in case you need some inspiration. It all comes from the book, "14,000 Things to be Happy About" by Barbara Ann Kipfer.

Dorky? Yes, but we could all use a little help focusing on the good stuff now and then, don't you think?
