Easy Simple Steps to a Happier You
Smile & Laugh More
The easiest step to tackle mood problems and attract positive vibes is to smile & laugh. Life is not perfect but smiling despite all hardships is the real challenge. Laughing lowers stress hormone and strengthens your immune system. Remember life seems difficult because you are seeing it in a complicated way. Perceive the little pleasures of life, listen to your favourite happy song, watch a funny movie or play with a baby. There can be innumerable reasons to smile more, but you have to find your own.
Accept with Gratitude
Remember the most important lesson all of us learnt while growing up -” Stop Complaining!”. Grumbling will only make you feel helpless, hopeless and dissatisfied. This will give you more reasons to feel miserable. Life will certainly seem beautiful once you learn to accept what you have, how you are or how people are. It’s only after we count our blessings, we realise how much we literally have! Count 5 reasons what you are thankful for each day, and you’ll surely be a much happier person. Try maintaining a Gratitude log, it really works.
The more thankful you are, the more you’ll get to be thankful for!
Be Kind & Compassionate
“Forget & Forgive”. I know this is difficult, but we have to work on this, for sure, for a happier you! Being kind is one of the fundamentals of happiness. It’s easier to be happy when you give someone a reason to smile. It may be a gift, a generous compliment or simply a hug. You may text to find out about your loved one. Use the two golden words, SORRY & THANK-YOU often. This creates a stronger connection between people, strengthens love. And simply gives you a reason to be happy.
Selfcare
Nurture a healthy relationship with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Stop taking out faults, learnt to appreciate your body and mind. Eat healthy, sleep well, go for a walk, exercise, meditate and spoil yourself once in a while. Take a lunch-break, meet your friends more often, eat your favourite chocolate are easy steps to a happier you.
Focus on your Goals
Write down your goals. That’s the smartest way to get them accomplished. Being specific is the key, so that you can rightfully work towards them. When you are clear of what you want, you will make the progress you desire. A faster progress will assuredly make a happier you!
