When the Dear Wonderful Hubby is feeling sad, I often ask him to cook or bake me something. I know that feeding others makes him happy. So I ask him to feed me. (smiles) And 99% of the time it works! He finds his happy again.
One of my brothers is a movie buff. Movies are his escape. He considers them to be one of his areas of expertise. When he is feeling down in the dumps, I will ask him about a specific movie he loves. He’ll, at first, grumble about not having time to talk about it or something like that. But, within a couple minutes of telling me what he knows, he is happy again and feeling confident.
Find out what makes your loved ones happy. This could be a certain brand of cat food for your furbaby or a type of plant food for your fern or a meme your best buddy never fails to laugh at.
Then when they need some happiness, give it to them.
(smiles)
