Share a weird thing you like to do that makes you happy :)

Share a weird thing (or two) you like to do that makes you really happy.

It could be a hobby, or something not so many people know about. Open up, there's no judgement here ?

Here's mine: When I cook, I do a narrative in my head and pretend I'm making a cooking video ??

[Eduso 25]

Hi Candy,
Thank you for sharing! I like your weird thing ?
Maybe you should make cooking youtube videos ?

Mine would be....
I love nature photography, sometimes I go for long walks take pictures of small details of plants, flowers, or bugs, and if I see something beautiful I would talk to it.
I will tell a flower how happy it makes me or compliment a spider on his webb design skills ? and thank the universe that I am alive and have an ability to see beauty everywhere ?
and of course I am talking to my plants at home too ? x

[Lizzie 519]

Yes, Candy, I was gonna say the same thing! ??‍?

My weird thing that makes me happy is probably organizing? Lol I absolutely love reorganizing a kitchen, finding the ideal place for kitchenware, tableware, and getting everything the pantry and fridge super neat and convenient. Same goes for closets and drawers for clothes, and linen etc.

That's beautiful! ?My mum talks to her plants too, and she says they wouldn't grow if she doesn't. We've had the same house plants since I was about 8 years old!

When I’m in the gym I watch others work out pretending they are listening to my music and moving in time with it..lol

If Im Feeling Low...I will Fake a Smile and sometimes a Belly Laugh  ( ;  

A Smile will Lift my spirits. 

A Belly Laugh is a Mood Changer that Grows the ‘Feel Good‘ I feel from a smile, into this Amazing Feeling of Happiness and Joy.

Interestingly...our brains only understand the Laughter (not whether its real or fake) so the feel good chemicals in my brain, send out all the right stuff and they take that fake smile and turn it into a Feeling of Happiness.

{A Feel Good Memory I use is the Feeling I felt holding my best-friend’s grand-baby. As He looked into my eyes and connected w/me His Soul to Mine, His smile filled me w/such a Joy, that the Feel Good Feeling, lasted for hours}

I have a gigantic mug - almost half a litre. I will sit drinking tea with milk while nibbling on one butter cookie which has chocolate on one side. This will take around 5 minutes, and I will have finished the cookie with the last sip of tea. This is all I do, and it makes me happy — a massive cup of tea and one relatively small cookie.

@Lizzie I am with you regarding the organized drawers - at least some of them :-)

[Earthshipmama 15]

I sing! I love to make a joyful noise! To dance and feel the heart beat of creation!

[Berta 43]

I hum, make up really bad silly songs or sing the melodie of an old cheezy tv show like the unknown stuntman" or "the A-team" when I am in a relaxed state for example while gardening. This gets funny because my husband does the same and it very rarely fits. :-)

[Melissa 13]

Going for a ride with my bicycle along the beach on a sunny day. :-)

[Melissa 13]

And I repetitively sing lemon tree when I do that haha

[Jerry247 5]

I like to sing Taylor swift and dance around.

That doesn't sound odd at all! I do the same. I lost my best friend to suicide a few years ago and I still talk to him too ?

[Omabluebird 14]

I talk to my dogs, it makes us happy, dogs and me.

[BeingBre 37]

Weirdness itself makes me so happy ? I am weird in so many ways but to name a few:  I like to command Siri (iPhone) in the style of a flight pilot smoothly talking over the speaker system ? I am pretty good at doing impressions so I think that's where that quirk comes from!  Also, I'm constantly creating newer, weirder nicknames for my dogs and I often talk to them in a way that is complete nonsense, straight up gibberish ? I find so much joy in embracing expressions of weirdness, from myself and from others. ?

[crystalclear 105]

wooohooo..I love to be weird and crazy at times.. it keeps my inner child active, I love to dance and make noises when i am alone. I do ramp walk...act a model..lol...all such funny things...hehehhehe

[Tine 707]

@BeingBre and @Omabluebird Yes! I am talking to my dog a lot and her names keep getting stranger. There was a time when she was called Lady Wigglebutt Stinkypants. The weirdest thing about talking to my dog probably is that she is 100% deaf. So this makes even less sense than usual. ? She also pretty much looks like the icon here.

[Kymera 38]

Wearing pink.  It's my favorite color.  Being that I am bilogically male, some people see this as weird.

[flybutterfly 17]

Almost every morning I dance it out around my apartment to my favorite joyful and empowering songs! It creates so much Seratonin-the feel good chemicals- and it is a really freeing feeling, a great way to “let go” of stress and tension built up in your body, and start the day feeling better.

I had almost majored in Dance Therapy in college years back, so I guess that’s what made me start this fun way to create my own joy at home. Also, I recently read and saw YouTube videos that this is also related to what is called “Conscious Movement” or “Conscious Dance”: “Conscious Dance is a movement-based process which leads participants on a journey of physical and emotional transformation. There is no structured choreography. It is lightly guided and free style. It is not about learning steps; it’s about revealing, recovering, and re-discovering of yourself and your natural intuitive flow.“

I find that eating a mango will TOTALLY make my day! It only becomes weird I guess when other people SEE me eating it because I am enjoying myself sooooo much. I talk to it and swoon a bit probably___I'm just so in the moment with the mango.I consider my day well spent if all I do is eat a ripe, juicy mango. I feel that I have contributed immeasurable happiness to the planet raising the vibration by lightbeams. Life is better with mangoes!

[Candy 611]

@SandSeaSistar Haha I LOVE mangoes too! In fact I have a ripe one  just waiting to be eaten! I'll try and enjoy it as much as you do. Thanks for sharing ?
