Unfortunately, negativity comes a lot easier than positive vibes. It takes work to find contentment.
Happy moments are fleeting, so why are we always trying to force it? When logically, long-term "happiness" equals to what can keep you content daily.
In order for you to strive for this you must plan to have a good day. Of course, leaving room for bad moods and openess to circumstance.
With that said, use what is in your control which will help when negativity arises and how you may react.
9 Fantastic Ways To Have A Great Day
1. Incorporate movement into your day. A lot of us get stuck behind a desk that disables us to keep moving. Take time to move.
2. Avoid Debbie Downers or Negative Nancy's. People can affect your environment and project their emotions. Check who you surround yourself with.
3. What are you driving? According to the Harvard Health Watch, the average driver spends 101 minutes in their vehicle. Decrease your frustration by driving a vehicle that suits your needs.
4. Lower your stress levels. Figure out what stresses you and slowly begin figuring coping skills for those stressors or eliminating them from your life.
5. Food preparation. We all have had those days in which we have not eaten enough or make poor food decisions because we are too busy. We should never be too busy for what fuels us.
6. Do mental health checks. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you need to take time to recharge, do not ignore it.
7. Choose to learn something new. Whether it is a new word, quote or something more involved, like a new language, it will help feed the soul.
8. Make laughter a part of your day. Choose to watch a funny show, see your comedic friend or look up jokes online. Laughter is a natural way to get the serotonin (happy chemical in your brain) activated.
9. Take care of yourself. Get your hair done, buy a new outfit, go on a road trip or eat more tacos (lol). Just do what makes you feel good.
I hope that these 9 fantastic ways to have a great day helps you live your best life!
