The pleasure of life can be obtained regardless of the thickness of the wallet or the presence of a fashionable car. It is much more important, at least sometimes, to be distracted from making money and feel your existence on earth.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember everything that brings you great or little pleasure. Laughter of a loved one, traveling, playing with children, a glass of good champagne, your favorite aquarium fish, chatting with friends, swimming on your back or a portion of chocolate ice cream? Try to surround yourself with these joys or allow yourself one of them at least once a week.
Step 2
Try to fulfill at least a few higher desires, which are said to be the "dream of a lifetime." Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to fly into space, but, for example, it is possible to see the real northern lights if desired. It is enough to fly to Murmansk in winter (or any northern city located above the Arctic Circle) and catch a frosty clear night.
Step 3
Give gifts to loved ones more often. It will be pleasant not only for them, but also for you. Even if it will be inexpensive surprises, or even better things made with your own hands. To get even more pleasure from this process, present souvenirs just like that, for no reason. And always do it selflessly.
Step 4
Learn to forgive, or at least forget unpleasant situations. Living with a stone in your heart is very difficult. Moreover, if negative emotions constantly swarm in you, you will not be able to fully enjoy life. Do not waste it on grievances - it is very difficult to smile with pursed lips.
Step 5
Change something in your appearance from time to time. Of course, you should not rush from one extreme to another, but you can always change your hairstyle or makeup. Or swap striped shirts for plaid shirts.
Step 6
Sing it. Hum your favorite song on the way home, while washing dishes, in the shower, etc. Even if you are in a bad mood, singing or quietly purring under your breath will clearly distract you from bad thoughts.
Step 7
Be in nature more often. The natural beauty of the planet, not spoiled by man, is mesmerizing. Admire the mountains, listen to the sound of the surf, and if this is not possible, try at least more often to walk among the birches or doze in a hammock in the open air.
