Read Feel Good Stories and BooksAnother easy way to get happy fastDo you read feel good stories and books or do you read books that bring out your negative emotions? It’s a choice that can make a big difference in your day.
I have so many books that I’m running out of room to store them. I have always been an avid reader since the time I was a young girl. What’s interesting to me is how my reading habits have changed since I made being happy my number 1 priority. In the past I would read a book a week; usually mysteries and thrillers. I find that I’m not gravitating towards those kinds of books any more. It wasn’t a deliberate decision to stop reading them, it’s just now I don’t want to spend any time reading anything that makes me feel bad. Somehow reading about a gruesome crime scene has lost its appeal. When I think of all the Sunday afternoons I spent reading about murder and crime solving I have to shake my head. I’m sure I’ll still read that kind of fiction again, it’s just now I want to balance it out with uplifting and inspirational books that make me feel inspired and happy. That doesn’t mean you should only read happy books. As with music, a book doesn’t have to be about happiness; it just has to make me feel good when I’m reading it or provoke new thoughts. Some feel good stories don’t necessarily have traditional happy endings, but they give me a feeling of hope and possibility and sometimes, if I’m really lucky, I’ll get an Aha moment. I love when that happens. I also love sharing great books with friends. When you find a feel-good book, share it with others. Here's a small sample of my favorite feel good stories / novels: And the list goes on and on and on and on……
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counsellor, a multitude of counselors. ~Henry Ward Beecher |
