I like to take a walk after my workday, just to change atmosphere and clear my mind. What is the daily thing that make you happy?

I really struggle with my mental health, and some of that is the weight of being a parent......
That said, walking in from a long day of lugging boxes at work and seeing and hearing my young kids running to the door yelling 'Daddddyyyyy' is pretty great.
Sounds great indeed!
Interacting with everyone here.
Love you too bud x
I don't really get happy that much during the day, but also not that sad either.
I guess I'm OK with the state of things. Not unhappy or happy but content.
im with you. Im more motivated to not suffer rather than being happy. Im like a cat I just want to be content at each moment.
I do some tatting, very portable hobby so I can work on it whenever I am stressed out and have some free time
I like to go on a bike ride in summer or when it's warm. For about two weeks I cycled the 15kms to work with my road bike, and it was pretty refreshing getting out of the office and ride the half hour home.
Used to do that, until I started working from home. Half hour on a bike is perfect to get your head out of work. Often I still go for a ride after work (past my old job) even though I don't need to.
Every day in the morning and after work and work days, I take about 15 minutes to myself. Just quiet time.
It really helps to recharge my batteries from all of my responsibilities. When I don't do this, I find I get stressed more easily.
This is weird, but sharpening (kitchen knives). This also includes thinking and polishing the surfaces. I use Japanese water stones and Japanese kitchen knives. For beginners it may be stressful but after gaining lots of experience you develop a 6th sense and understand exactly what's happening at the edge. At this point you can focus on a keen, beautifully, polished edge. Additionally you can polish the faces with the stones and get a wonderful finish there. It's especially fulfilling for me because these were vintage, cheap and badly neglected. It's so satisfying to see them become so beautiful and be treated with the respect they deserve as tools individually hand forged, with pride, by master blacksmiths.
I'd share pictures but I think I gushed enough lol
I have a high-stress job but I will say I look forward to my daily routine of coming home, changing into shorts and a t-shirt, and taking a few puffs from a cannabis vape pen while I listen to an audiobook and playing a mindless mobile game for an hour. It gets my mind right and helps me transition to home life.
Ever since I really quit drinking a big substitute for me has been elaborate baths. Epsom salts, LED light bulbs turned to all blue. It’s great.
Yes, I am a dude. I do not care.
I don't have a bath in my current place, I kind of miss it. It can indeed be a nice relaxing experience
A walk also. Often mid-day. I just take an hour to get some exercise, air and sky above.
My friend and I post cute pictures of animals or characters to each other throughout the day.
Jazzercise in the morning or at lunch time. If I don’t have time then I’ll try to get a 15 minute walk in.
I masturbate every morning before I get out of bed.
