The Happiest Blog on the Internet
You have got to go check this out. This friend of mine that lives in the UK has just made a great blog post. He has 50 tips to help with a happier life and they are really good. The one that I really think may help if you need to improve your happiness is tip number 16.
“Take note of when you are happy and why. These moments can be used as a focus for meditation and thoughtful relaxation, and once you know what makes you happy you can try to recreate those times more often,” Andrew says.
Do you ever have those days where you just don’t feel outgoing, enthusiastic and positive? You’re just plain feeling low. How do you break those moods, so you don’t sit around having a pity party, eating all day and feeling stressed out?
“Be thankful for what you have: You’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” By Oprah Winfrey
Simple things that I do when I’m feeling challenged is to remember:
Let’s face it you have to put aging in the right perspective or you can just plan lose your happiness within. This is how I’m handling aging:
I personally can never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, or my loving family for less gray hair (hair dye does wonders) or a flatter belly (Fuller shirts work great). As I’ve aged, I’ve become happier, kinder to myself and less critical of myself. I can honestly say; I have become my own friend. I don’t hate myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement statue that I didn’t need, but looks so lovely ( not so much)on my patio.
Is Your Glass Half Full?
“Happiness within is the ability to receive the pleasant without grasping and the unpleasant without condemning.”
No amount of technological development can lead to lasting happiness. What is always missing is a corresponding inner development. Cleaning up our mental environment so that real happiness within can be both uncovered and sustained.
This is where learning to be an optimist comes in. Learn to see the cup half full, not half empty. Optimists suffer less and recover quickly. They are healthier and better liked and have stronger marriages and more fun. Clearly there optimistic attitude, sometimes can be enough to make some gloomy.
