Simple Tips To Be Happy Right now! Part 2

Simple Tips To Be Happy Right now Part 2.

Continuation from yesterdays post 1-12 Enjoy 13-20.

Tip 13

Socialise and interact with others as much as
possible. Happy people have both more and better
quality relationships. So as well as working to improve
the quality of your relationships (as noted in Tip 12) it’s
also worthwhile working to improve the number of your
relationships.

Tip 14

Weed out unhelpful thoughts. The Dalai Lama has
been quoted saying that “The central method for
achieving a happier life is to train your mind in a daily
practice that weakens negative attitudes and
strengthens positive ones.” Learn first to identify your
thoughts and then begin to challenge those that are
negative and unhelpful.

Tip 15

Plant happier, optimistic thoughts. As noted in Tip
14, there are two parts to developing helpful, optimistic
thinking. The first is to weed out unhelpful negative
thoughts and the second is to plant more positive,
optimistic ones. This is essentially a skill, and like any
other skill becomes easier and more effective with
practice.

Tip 16

Live a healthy life. Eat well and keep active.
Exercise regularly. Although not impossible, it’s
difficult to be happy if you’re constantly sick and not
very healthy.

Tip 17

Ensure you gain adequate sleep and rest.
Consistent with Tip 16, it’s difficult to be happy if you’re
constantly tired and struggling to find enough energy to
get through the day. To assist with this, regularly
practice relaxation and/or meditation strategies.

Tip 18

Manage your time and priorities. Happy people tend
to believe they’re more in control of their lives. In
doing so, they’re more likely to take an active
approach to solving problems. If something’s not quite
right in your life, do something. And further, make sure
that what you’re doing is important. Put first things
first.

Tip 19

Control what you can control. Accept what you
can’t control. And learn to be wise enough to know the
difference.


Please apply one or 2 tips to your every day living, this can help you and the people around you live a happier and healthier life :)
