12 Things happy people do differently
1. Express Gratitude
When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. If we aren’t thankful for what we already have, we will have a hard time ever being happy.
2. Cultivate optimism
People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times. Everything really is all based on what your perspective is. If you think about negative things then you produce negative things in daily life. If you can think positively then you perceive things to be positive in your life.
3. Avoid over-thinking and social comparison
Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. The only person you should compare yourself to is the person you were yesterday.
4. Practice Acts of Kindness
Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside. After all everything comes back around.
5. Nurture Social Relationships
The happiest people are those who have deep, meaningful relationships.
6. Develop strategies for coping
It helps to have healthy strategies for coping with unexpected life changes. Lex has a very hard time with change which is awful because the only constant in life is change. The one thing that helps her cope with anything besides drinking beer, or wine, or smoking a lil binger is, taking a bath. "If Ive had a bad day a bath will just wash it all away. I use baking soda because it balances energy, I use epsom salt to soothe muscles, I use an uplifting essential oil such as grapefruit or orange. Sometimes I cut an orange and squeeze the juice in the bath and then let orange slices float around in the bath with me. It is so beautiful and really uplifts my spirits. Baths, wine, chocolate, herb great coping tools
7. Learn to forgive
Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being.
8. Increase flow experiences
Flow is a state in which it feels like time stands still. It’s when you’re so focused on what you’re doing that nothing distracts or competes for your attention.
9. Savor life’s joys
Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. Rest. Be thankful to be alive and its experiences. We think journaling is a great way to relive the experience and to pass on the memory to others one day. We try to keep away from writing negative things down in a journal. Instead we write down things that have happened that were negative that we have to let go and we have a small ritual where we burn the paper that has the negative thoughts on it and with that we let it go. We save the good things for our journal so we can relive the good things in our lives again.
10. Commit to your goals
Persistence is key. Magical things happen when we commit ourselves to accomplish our goals.
11. Practice spirituality
When we practice spirituality, we recognize life is bigger than us. We surrender the silly idea that we are the mightiest life form ever. "Whatever God you believe in, we come from the same one"-Mackelmore
12. Take care of your body
Nutrition and exercise: this is crucial to being well-balanced and the happiest person you can be.
