the heart list is something i have been doing since i was a child. my friends who grew up on the same street that my family did introduced my sister and i to it! we would grab a notebook and pen and just bullet out hearts with things that made us happy next to them. we would do this for HOURS and our heart lists would be pages long!

i think it's a great way to focus on random positive shit that you really love, you end up being so invested in listing out all the happy and fun stuff in life that it's a really cathartic activity sometimes!

a heart list can span any time frame (i tend to do them over a month) and can have as many repeats from the past as you want. after all, most things don't just make you happy once.

i encourage everyone to make heart lists if you're able. you can do them at the end of the month or week to remind yourself of all the good in your life, or you can add to them daily to just be grateful for the little things all around you. you can also do them on paper like i did when i was a kid, i just tend to lose them so posting them online in a list format is easier for me personally!
