(Just paraphrasing what's written in this article):
1. Believe in Yourself - it's darn hard to "expect" others (best not to expect anyways) to, if you don't!
2. Hang out with happy people - happiness is contagious.
3. You may be 15 or 90 but YOU can still benefit from PLAYTIME.
4. Be optimistic - Negativity just breeeds more of its kind.
5. Connect with others - Expecially those you care about and who care about you
6. Be Grateful - A gratitude journal would be a great way to start.
7. Help others - People who lend a helping hand to others will tell you - there's an indescribable feeling that comes with being able to help, no matter how (big or small).
8. Have you seen the great outdoors lately? Well then go!:-)
9. Music - and lots of it. (One can start with the ones that make you sad - at least it'll bring out emotions that are maybe unacknowledged?) then move on to ones that bring on the smiles..
10. Meditate or Pray - It's all the same to me. It's communing with one's self and the HIGHER being. God's just the greatest listener and no, one needs no eloquence or fancy vocab.
11. Be realistic - And no, it's not settling nor tolerating but seeing and yes - acknowledging things for what they are, sans judgment.
But hey - this article has all the juicy details. I'm all for your happiness, (as we all are) and if sometimes you find yourself feeling 'down in the dumps' - well that's alright too. It gives you perspective on how you can get out of it. How will one ever "travel out of a place" if you don't even know where you are to begin with. It's all good!
And if all these sound daunting - 'how 'bout a smile to kick start it all? :-) Love and more love from here.♥
