Readers' Additions to Roger Rosenblatt’s How to be Happy (6/8/25 Post)
May 15, 2025
Be as productive as you can every day, but you don’t have to be productive every day.
… create special playlists of the music beloved by dear dead ones… What starts in pain---grief and mourning--become a part of daily life. It's not morbid to celebrate memories.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Keep on learning--about all sorts of things.
Start moving. Get the lead out. Whichever way works for you—-get a bicycle and hop on, walk, run, walk AND run, join a gym, don’t sit in front of the TV all day… As a wise Japanese person answered when asked why most Japanese people are healthy, he said: “Never stop moving.”
Don’t move away from home to retire.
Take a walk every day either on a treadmill at a gym or even better, walk outside!
Thanks to all who replied!
