The Healthier, Happier you.
Henry David Thoreau once said that happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it eludes you. However, to most, happines is not a destination but a choice. The choice to be positive and optimistic, to choose the good over the bad and the choice to search for the greater good in everyone - no matter how hard it may be.
To begin your happiness journey you need to be fully fuelled with positivism and completely thwart out all negative emotions and actions such as resentment, anger and unforgiveness.
1. Don't sweat the small stuff - no really don't!
Being happy means not worrying about things beyond control and things that make you anxious. So choose not to wreck your brain about things that harbor negativity into your life. You'll be happier and less tense.
2. Be grateful.
Find something to be grateful for everyday.
3. Engage in a meaningful activity.
When your mind is fully absorbed in an activity, all your 'problems' seem to disappear right before your eyes and before you know it you're smiling again. Anything from running to pilates and even cooking is enough to turn your frown up-side-down.
Yoga is a great way to get active and to help de-stress all at the same time.
As with most things in life, happiness is a choice and not a sudden occurence. Some people are lucky enough to have genes that almost foster happiness but most people aren't immune to the tosses and turns of life and end up frustrated and upset at some point during the day. Just remember that to live a happier life in amongst the turmoil of the world means eliminating negativity, appreciating all you have and keeping your body on the move.
