Many of us spend our entire existence attempting to figure out how to be happy. The critical point to remember is that it’s impossible to feel happy 100% of the time. Sometimes, life happens, and there will be heartbreak and challenging times. However, implementing a few essential life hacks can help guarantee we live our best life and radiate happiness more often than not.
Monday Motivation: How to Be Happy
The pursuit of happiness involves a continuous search for satisfaction, joy, and a sense that you are living a meaningful and fulfilled life. Here are three life hacks to implement to be happy.
#1. Manifest Happiness
Write down the things you feel achieving will make you happy. Everyone’s list will be different – there’s no right or wrong. What will truly make you happy? Getting on the housing ladder, re-decorating your home, earning a degree or finding a new job? Whatever it is, write it down and map out a plan to get there complete with an end date. Having more direction in your life in addition to working towards your life goals is a massive step towards achieving your happy-ever-after.
#2. Become The You That You Deserve
Happiness radiates from self-confidence. What do you need to work on to help you learn to love yourself? Use the exercise from above to identify what will make you happy in your external and internal happiness. There is a solution for everything. If you’re not comfortable with your body or weight, set weightloss and fitness goals. Book in for a makeover for a fresh look to revive your confidence, or invest in a personal stylist session to identify the most flattering styles and colors for your body shape and complexion. Investing in ourselves is the most important investment of our lives. Go on adventures, spend quality time with positive relationships and learn how to positively deal with stress via meditation or yoga to live a happy, healthy life.
#3. Upgrade Your Thought Patterns
Anytime you feel negative thoughts entering your mind, switch them to focus on the positive. Interrupt negative thought patterns by doing an activity that makes you happy. Over time, you’ll retrain your brain.
