We all seek to enjoy our lives so we do the things we’re told will make us happy. Sometimes we do what advertisers tell us. Sometimes we follow the advice our friends give us. Sometimes we follow the advice from our favorite and trusted blog.
And sometimes, we do what we believe will make us happy.
It doesn’t matter where you get the ideas of what to do. Because what ultimately matters is that we’re happy.
Find Comfort
Find comfort in your life, in your surroundings, from within, and in your own skin. One of the biggest mistakes we make in life is believing that it’s okay to put yourself down. Maybe you’re a bit overweight, or underweight. Maybe you don’t like some of your curves or the shape of your teeth.
Happiness is not something you can buy, and regardless of what comedians say, ugliness can’t be fixed. If you’re so hard on yourself that you believe yourself to be ugly, your thinking process needs to be addressed – not your physical appearance.
If you don’t like your weight, you’re probably already trying to address that issue. As a rule, follow these two things: Stay away from fat diets, and avoid clothes that don’t fit. Throw them both out. “Encouragement” or “reward” clothes don’t work. They only remind you of the fact that you’re uncomfortable in your own skin. Wearing jeans that are too tight or cause the famous “muffin top” will consequently cause your discomfort in your own skin to grow. Next time you go clothes shopping or when you buy something for yourself, don’t look at the size tag. That doesn’t matter.
Try on a pair of jeans or shirt without looking in the mirror. Ask yourself if what you’re wearing is comfortable to sit, stand, and move around in. Seek clothes that are comfortable rather than the size you wish you were.
Take Care of Yourself
Taking care of yourself includes your physical, mental, and spiritual self. Nurture your inner self in whatever way it desires. Don’t hold onto toxic relationships – even if they are family. Eat healthy, eat your fruits and vegetables. Go for a walk and stay active. Self care isn’t selfish, but it is beneficial.
Smile
Smile each and every day. While you’re at it, laugh a bit too. Even if things aren’t going your way, find a reason and way to smile. You’re alive. You are loved, You are needed, You are appreciated, You are beautiful. Therefore Smile.
Harness the Power of Love
Harness the positive energy from your significant others. They are your friends, family, co-workers, boy or girlfriends, your spouse, children, siblings… You have an entire significant other matrix. This doesn’t have to be blood relatives. It can be friends and neighbors. So nurture your positive relationships. Get out of the gravitational pull of toxic relationships, and lastly, Harness the love in your life and add something positive to those relationships.
Find balance in Your Life
Nothing exists very well outside of balance so balance it out. If you’re getting more than your giving then find a way to give more. If something isn’t working, reassess its importance in your life.
Understand What’s Important to You
Find your priorities. It is possible to go through life without understanding what your priorities are. It’s just not likely you’ll enjoy your life living this way. Therefore Take the time to sit down and outline where you want to be in 5 years… 10 years… 20 years. Map out what routes you need to take to get to these points in time the way you want to.
Meditate on it, but also draw or write it out. You’ll need to see a physical representation of where you’re going and what your dreams are. Afterwards, outline the tasks, goals, and morals you’ll need and give them weight. Make these your priorities. Understand your priorities so you can live your best and happiest life. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else. Understand where you’re going and your route there so you can enjoy life more on the way.
