Happiness is not just an elusive emotion that appears as if by magic and just as suddenly disappears. It's a steady state that we can be in just by deciding that we want to be happy and working on it every day. Having formed the necessary skills, you will create a more favorable emotional background for yourself.
How many really happy people are around you? Not successful, rich and famous, but happy ones? For many, these concepts are synonymous, but this is not entirely true. A person who is far from success and serious money can be happy, it is just that happiness for him is completely different. For example, children and family or some kind of hobby, the occupation of which brings him truly strong emotions of satisfaction and real happiness. You can talk about this endlessly, because this concept is very capacious, and at the same time, incredibly individual. However, purely from personal experience, I can single out three main habits with the help of which I managed to stop the destructive consequences of a life where negativity, frustration, irritation and dislike ruled the show.
Physical exercise
I clearly understand that people are all different, everyone is unique, but we are all people. We all carry the universe of our world inside a physical body, we have one at this stage. It greatly affects our mental and spiritual life, as well as vice versa. In a healthy body - a healthy mind, this is not just a flying phrase, this is an indication for action. Even if you are very far from sports and physical activity, any unusual activity aimed at stress will be very useful. The main condition is that it must be daily. Believe me, constancy is the key to the most incredible life changes.
In his interview, the man who is called the snake man because of his incredible flexibility, Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev, said that he was able to achieve such a state of the body by performing simple stretching exercises every day, doing them a little more every day. Nothing extraordinary and secret techniques. Part of the road to work on foot became my habit, my husband dropped me out of the car without taking me to work and I walked. It is only about 700 meters, but every day in any weather. As a result, now I am engaged in athletics and fitness, I ran a marathon at the age of 30. And this is taking into account that all my school years I was freed from physical education, being considered a weak, sickly child, and the first trip to physical education in college ended at the time of warm-up - a dislocated kneecap and a month in a cast.
Choose what you like and take action. Your body will very quickly thank you for your efforts in the form of an improved mood and a lot of vitality.
Your thoughts think you
Thoughts are very difficult to track and control. I remember the riddle was such that it is the fastest in the world? It was the thought that was the answer. And yet, if you make it a habit to take some kind of freeze-frame inside your head and try to be aware of what you are thinking at the moment, and then, if the thought is negative - by an effort of will to replace it with a good, kind one - you will very quickly begin to notice how the general attitude will change from heavy, sad or unpleasant to lighter and lighter.
Any pleasant memory, some pleasant thing in the present, a beautiful pattern of clouds or a smile of a passer-by, "throwing" thoughts into your favorite dream will help you with this. Moreover, by doing this, you give the subconscious the command to do what you want and what you dream about. Because the consciousness perceives all things critically, evaluating reality, and the subconscious mind does not separate dreams and emotions from reality, it considers them to be reality. Therefore, thinking more often about the pleasant, we program the subconscious mind to attract the good into life, and by fulfilling your commands, it will create more and more situations that bring success, joy, pleasure, and bring you closer to your dreams.
Summarizing, I will define the second habit as the habit of "clarifying" thoughts. Every day!
You are the center of your universe
The third habit I would rather call an idea, by adopting which, if you wish, you can completely change your life in the desired direction. Realize that all situations and people around you are subconsciously attracted by you for some purpose, everything that happens is your school of life. Nobody is to blame for anything. And including you! Coming to this world with a specific purpose, we all our life by one way or another try to come to it. It means precisely the global goal on the scale of the universe, and not the achievement by each individual person of his material goals. Accept everything that happens with gratitude (I do not go into religious nuances, this is a separate huge topic) and life itself will show you where to go and what to do. By adopting this point of view, you can forever get rid of the huge cart of resentment and sadness that we all love to drag along with us through life. But leaving all this behind, you can significantly facilitate and simplify your existence, become a really happy person!
