Oscar Wilde, in his The Picture of Dorian Gray, said: “I love ordinary pleasures. This is the last refuge for complex natures. And so it turns out: the deeper the inner world of a person, the easier it is for him to enjoy life. But this too will have to be learned.
Instructions
Step 1
Start with yourself. Stop frowning, getting angry, annoyed over trifles and testing the patience of loved ones. Decide once and for all: tomorrow morning I get up from "that leg" and wish the world a good morning! Light up your reflection with a smile, kiss your mom or your significant other with pleasure, congratulate your colleagues on the wonderful weather and buy a bouquet of flowers on your way home. You are a self-sufficient, strong and positive person. Hold on with this rule for at least one day, and before bed, evaluate the buzz that you got from your mood.
Step 2
Learn to enjoy the most mundane activities. Take pleasure in everything. Is your job uncomfortable? Evaluate it again, because it brings you income that you spend on yourself and your loved ones. Isn't spending money on yourself a pleasure? Moreover, in the work itself, you can find many advantages. For example, you are obviously in great demand as a specialist, and you may also have colleagues who run to you for business advice. Feel the pleasure in your worth and the expected advancement in your career. Do you have a grumpy spouse? Remember all the pleasant moments of your dates and the pre-wedding commotion, when more than anything in the world you wanted this woman to belong only to you. It's time to arrange a double of a romantic trip, sending the children to a summer camp, and buying tickets to exotic countries by yourself. Enjoy communication with each other and enjoy the re-flashed feelings!
Step 3
The most common everyday activity can be turned into a holiday. A meal that boils down to traditional microwave heating and eating something on your plate in front of the TV is unlikely to give you a lot of joy. But if you open a cookbook, poke your finger at the most incredible recipe and manage to translate it into reality, you will delight not only your loved one, but also your loved ones. In the end, without any culinary skills, send yourself to the company of a friend or significant other in the most amazing restaurant and have a real belly feast there.
Step 4
Go in for sports. At first glance, you won't get much pleasure from this step and you will have to force yourself to go to training. However, it has long been proven that after intense physical activity, our body receives a signal from the brain to synthesize substances in the body called endorphins. It is designed by nature to naturally numb muscles. That is why, after the gym, a person always feels a slight euphoria and satisfaction. Do not be lazy after a hard work to relax on a jog, in the pool or gym.
Step 5
Go to bed thinking that tomorrow will be even better than today. Mentally count how many times you enjoyed your day and tune in to a good sleep. After all, even a pleasant bliss in a warm bed can give you no less pleasure.
