Simple Ways To Live A Happy Life

[imjeybi1208]

Many people spend their lives waiting to be happy. "If only I had more money"; "If I could lose weight"; "If I got this job, this diploma"; or "if I meet someone" ... "then I might be happy".

However, you can be happy right away. Happiness studies show that it is not being beautiful, rich or famous that makes you happy. And I may shock you, but it is not even the fact of loving or being loved that makes you happy in the long term.

Many people have perfect spouses and children. Deep down, however, they are not happy.

The secret of happiness
Happiness can be likened to "everything that makes you vibrate". Once you've identified what it is, get organized to create the opportunity as often as possible.

For most people, for the feeling of happiness to start, it takes a thrill of adventure and freedom.

No need to leave for a distant destination. But take every opportunity to do things where you feel free and independent. It can even mean changing jobs, setting up your own, or moving to find new places you don't know. Without going that far, you can also change the route to come home from work, or go for a walk in unknown places.



Everyone can create their own opportunities to "vibrate". But more often than not, it's the little, simple things in life that cause the most joy and are the most invigorating.

But you can also, in your daily life, take habits that make you happier. Here is a non-exhaustive list :

1. Go out
Turn off your television, take off your slippers, and get out.

Each hour spent watching television decreases life expectancy by 22 minutes. Television also features a major impact on your brain chemistry. The more you look at it, the more easily your brain goes into passive mode, where messages cross your mind without your participation. You become easily influenced and vulnerable.

2. Get moving
Some people are fortunate to have a garden to cultivate and beautify. You can also walk, cycle, swim. Exercise increases the levels of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, which are chemicals your brain needs, and which can offset some of the effects of stress and relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Rather than seeing physical exercise as a way to lose weight or prevent disease - effects that will be felt over time - try to consider these moments as a daily tool to immediately improve your mood, relax, and make you feel happier.

If you have an office job, get up every ten minutes. This will counteract the deleterious effects of sitting.

3. Eat well and light
What you eat directly affects your mood and energy level, both short and long term. While eating healthy benefits your body and clarifies your ideas, eating pizza and fast foods makes you listless and promotes chronic disease. Same thing if you eat too much.

After a meal of fresh and raw vegetables, proteins and good fats (raw fats, fatty smoked fish, omega-3) in moderate quantity, you have no desire to take a nap, but you feel full of energy and ready to take on new projects.

4. Take cold showers
My technique, previously described, consists of starting by putting yourself under hot or even very hot water for a few minutes, then gradually lowering the temperature of the water. At each level, you experience a surprising feeling of cold for a few seconds but the skin gets used to it and the shower becomes pleasant again. We then wait a few more seconds and turn the tap again to reduce the temperature. With a little practice, the last step is the coldest water that can come out of the tap.

The colder the water, the stronger the antidepressant effect. At some point, you even get a feeling of euphoria. After drying, you feel full of energy and energy.

5. Speak less, listen more
“Speech is money, but silence is golden ”. Speaking less and listening more allows you to benefit more from the wisdom of others while helping you to achieve inner calm.

While participating in the gossip around the coffee machine is a burst of pleasure, speaking ill of people is like soaking yourself in a bath of bad feelings. Your body absorbs them. If you try to be positive, you will feel calmer and more peaceful afterward.



How about you? Share your ways.

In simple words,satisfy your greeds to be happy and change your greed towards something you could satisfy yourself without waiting too long.

You are right that most people think that having money can give you entire happiness,it might be true but its not the only way.

Didn't know that life I so easy and the only think I have to do for a better living is to turn off hot water and turn on the cold one...

I think unexpected & unfortunate events could crash the happiness obtained in the manners you described... unless  you supressed things with drugs. Depending on drugs without having solutions to the unexpected events means you won't achieve much. But depending on your true CREATOR (the CREATOR of everything that exists) will certainly keep you happy, safe and on the right path until your allotted time to leave this world comes.

These are great tips that I totally agree with! I generally love positive posts, because lately there has been too much negativity around. But it's okay, because the most important thing is what you have inside! I say this because I myself live this way: when you yourself feel the holiday every day - it doesn’t matter what happens outside. And
it really is! How to get this holiday inside you? Just listen to your soul, ask yourself what you like and what you don’t like in your life, and start choosing what you like (start walking in that direction). When you follow the path, where you choose everything you like, then it becomes a pleasure to live! And remember, whatever happens - everything goes as it should!

Possibly the best way to gain a happy life, and to get the things of life that you need at the same time, is to read the Bible, or listen to it on Bible tapes or CDs. Why? Because God will honor you for doing so.

Even if you don't believe in God, He will honor you. There is "stuff" in the bible that is more practical for life than anywhere else.

When you read the Bible, if you come across things that seem wrong or don't make any sense, continue to read. Your whole life will be changed for the better if you simply persevere.

Living simply through being content. I have a lot of dreams and things that I want to have but as soon as I'm realizing that I should stay wherever I am and be contented with what I have, I guess that's the true happiness that I've ever found.

It's okay to dream high but don't be too ambitious.

[kotajikikox]

appreciating small things?

not to be greedy and consider things in every simplest ways?

i am a simple person with simple dreams,to have a happy family and go old with them,teaching my kids how to be considerate and how they can help people whenever they have a chance,because for me?loving is caring and that is how we can find true happiness .

Greed destroys human life You just said a happy family is the simplest way of life That is why I think that greed will not do anything wrong but after doing something for the happiness of his family he will not get the most love anywhere else I love my family very much. That's why family is an easy way to lead a happy life.

[Alaric05]

In my opinion mental heath is very important for the real happiness. Nowadays whatever people say about us influences us the most, our happiness has been more and more depending on others opinions, if anyone appreciates us we are on cloud 9 but if someone criticises us we ourselves become negative so I guess we should only depend on ourselves for our happiness. No one is responsible for our happiness, anger, sadness, irritation only us.

I always say this, as long as you are not taking advantage of others and you are able to help even for the smallest thing, you will feel great about yourself. Less stress and more positive vibes will come along the way.

The happy life is when you can be grateful and satisfied what are you have now. Don't comparing about another person life with you, this can make you mad and not enjoy your life. In many people they happy when they're rich, in some people they happy when they're gather up with his families etc. Just pick what you want in this life to make you happy

[Negotiation]

We always have to think positively in order to be good Everything that is negative puts it at a disadvantage Every work must be done with faith. No mental stress can be created You need to spend more time with your family and enjoy recreation to eliminate mental problems. The simplest way to lead a happy life is to always have a positive attitude.
