Happiness is a choice

It may seem hard to believe but there's a lot of truth behind the idea happiness is a chance. Even though genetics and life's circumstances play a role in your level of happiness, you do have control over much of it. It's unrealistic of course to snap your fingers and decide to be happy but if you bring consciousness, gratitude and even frivolity to your day you will likely feel more joyful.

So, how can you do that?
  1. Reconnect with what brings you joy, from throwing around a ball, to going to parties, hanging out with friends and family. Perhaps, a busy schedule or aging got you out of the habit, regardless of what made you stop give those fun activities a try again. Reconnecting with what you love to do is a simple way to increase your joy.

  2. Get into the flow. Have you ever been so involved in something that time seems to stand still and your worries seem to disappear? This is called being in a state of flow, for example playing a song and getting lost in a good mood.

  3. Immerse yourself in nature. Spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase feelings of vitality, gratitude and compassion. The natural world helps remind people that they are but small beings on this planet and gives them a greater sense.

Do some experiments like -
  • Making a list of activities that you used to enjoy but have given up in recent years choose one to reconnect with and see if this activity makes you happier and consider making time for it again.

  • Spend at least few minutes a day outdoor, pay attention to nature, trees, grass, river or whatever surrounds you.

  • Consider things that have made you both happy and sad in the past let it help guide your path to happiness
