7 steps to find true happiness

There is no doubt that everyone wants to be happy, but finding true happiness can sometimes seem a little impossible. But just because the numbers show that the average happiness rate in the country is decreasing doesn’t mean your individual happiness should be too! Discover 7 steps to include in your routine and find true happiness:

1. experience life

Have you ever set your sights on a pair of designer shoes that seemed to promise eternal happiness? Well, research shows that happier people in life spend more money on experiences than material things. So instead of spending a lot of money on shoes, clothes and accessories, how about investing in a concert ticket from your favorite band, for example?

2. practice gratitude

Practicing gratitude is a powerful action to use against all the negativity in the world. Try writing down 3 things you are grateful for every night. This habit may be just what you need to achieve true happiness.

3. Connect with others

Out of your 500 friends on social media, how many of these people do you see on a regular basis? Studies show that taking the time to truly connect with others increases levels of true happiness. And this applies to both loved ones and colleagues or classmates. Despite the world’s newfound love for antisocial behavior, human interaction is good for the soul.

4. helping people

Science tells us that helping others plays a significant role in our overall happiness. Whether you dedicate your time to volunteer work or just do a nice act for someone, it can change your life for the better.

5. Live the moment

Many of us are too focused on what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow – or next week or 15 years from now – rather than taking the time to focus and enjoy the day. So take a moment of your day to sit still and breathe. Studies show that those who practice awareness and meditation are healthier than most and find true happiness.

6. surround yourself with kindness

If bad habits or toxic relationships keep you from being happy, it’s time to think about removing them from your life. Ask yourself what and who brings you the most joy and surround yourself only with good things and people.

7. Be kind to yourself

As adults, we are faced with a daunting to-do list that never seems to go down no matter how hard we try. But even so, you still need to take the time to be kind to yourself. Exercise and get your body moving, even just a little, every day, and try to get a decent amount of sleep. Both exercise and sleep make a huge difference to your happiness, health and mood. Also, be patient with yourself when you make mistakes.

Overall, believe in yourself and your ability to improve as a human being and value everything you are accomplishing. Then smile. You are much better than you think!
