## Resource

Happiness in retirement doesn’t always arrive automatically. Sometimes, it begins with the small things we choose to do every day. In Part 2 of my September series, we’re talking about **The Happiness Habit**—seven simple habits that can give your days more structure, connection, purpose and joy. These aren’t dramatic life changes. They’re small, realistic things you can begin doing today—even if retirement hasn’t felt quite as happy or fulfilling as you expected. In this video, we’ll explore seven happiness habits: 00:00 – Introduction 03:13 – 1. Give the day a beginning 05:02 – 2. Put one thing on the calendar to look forward to 06:18 – 3. Move your body to change the channel 07:42 – 4. Notice one good thing while it’s happening 09:38 – 5. Make one small human connection 11:27 – 6. Do one thing that makes you feel useful 12:58 – 7. End the day positively You don’t need to completely reinvent your life. Choose just one habit and begin there. Because happiness isn’t always something we find—it’s often something we practice. Which of these seven habits could make the biggest difference in your life? Let me know in the comments. And if you know someone who could use a little more happiness in their retirement, please share this video with them.
