A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 15:13
For the poor, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15 NLT
Faith, hope and love, these three but the greatest of these is love.
Corinthians 13:13
Happiness means something different to each individual. Material things, love, people and places. Take the time to learn to appreciate everything and try not to get attached to anything. Because it can change in a blink of an eye.
Turn off the TV, watching to much makes you hunger for more possessions, and fuels discontentment. Get outside, enjoy some nature, smell the flowers, start a garden, walk the dog. God has made a wonderful world. Getting outside can increase your productivity, happiness, and health.
Eat wisely. Did you know different foods can act as antidepressants, Some help relieve stress, and actually put you in a better mood. Sweets and simple carbs, like white rice and white bread, quickly raise blood sugar they flood you with insulin, and then drop you in a hole. Try a diet rich in grains/starches, dried beans and peas, fruit, and vegetables in order to get carbohydrates for muscle energy. Don't skimp on protein either, which is necessary for muscle growth and repair. Additionally, include some fat for satiety and healthy skin.
It is normal to have small amounts of sadness or depression, choose to redirect your attention to the positive, your serotonin levels increase along with your mood. Exercise is extremely good at improving depressive symptoms and increasing mood. Try to change yourself instead of focusing on changing the world. Have some fun. Thinking with a positive attitude feels better than thinking with a negative one. Have you noticed positive people are happy people. So look on the bright side.
Follow your heart. Choose a career in a field that makes you happy, because you will be happier in all areas of your life. Take some courses to improve yourself in that field or interest. Having a solid belief in one's own abilities increases life satisfaction and makes us happier both in our home lives and in our work lives.
Try to get enough sleep. It’s funny how some of us wake up each and every day feeling that whatever they have is what makes them happy. No matter what type of hardships you have to endure, try to overcome them and believe every day is another opportunity for happiness. Everyone in this world has something that makes them happy.
Think about what makes you happy. I'm happy!
Until next time
