"13 Simple Ways to Live a Happy Life"

🧵 THREAD TIME: 👇
Yes, it’s possible

A big house or a new car won't actually make you happier; it's the simple joys in life that bring true happiness.

Read on to learn 13 simple ways that you can start living a happier life today.
1. Do What You Love

When you're doing what you love, you're filled with joy.

How much better does that sound than forcing yourself to do something you don't like?
2. Help Others

When we volunteer or help others, it feels good to just be of service to someone else.

The impact we make feels fulfilling and is a big potential source for our own happiness.
3. Be Thankful

Without even realizing it, we take our basic necessities for granted-- a roof over your head and plenty of food to eat.

By appreciating the things that you already have, you'll begin to feel happier in your life.
4. Smile More

Practice smiling more and see how it affects you internally, as well as those around you.

Smiling can make you happier -- even if you have to force it, you'll still feel better.
5. Exercise

Exercise reduces stress and releases endorphins, also known as a "runner's high."

Playing sports is a fun way to exercise as well.
6. Seek Out a Life Coach

A life coach will help you to evaluate your life and why you're not feeling happy in it.

Maybe you're holding limiting beliefs or you have an emotional block without realizing it.
7. Find Ways to Manage Stress

You deserve to be happy, and it wouldn't be right to let stress get in the way.

Practices such as meditation can help you to manage stress better and feel great.
8. Eat Healthily

It's much more challenging to feel truly happy when you're sick. But when you eat right, you feel better both physically and mentally.

And you'll avoid that guilty feeling that you just pigged out on junk food.
9. Dump Negative Thinking

You already know that negative thinking will bring you down. Become more aware of it and try replacing your negative thoughts with some positive ones.

Spend less time with negative people and more time with positive people.
10. Give More Gifts

You don't have to give expensive gifts; sometimes a poem, a quick note, or a thoughtful email will brighten someone else's day, and yours.
11. Forgive and Forget

Holding a grudge will harm you more than the person you're holding it against.

Ask yourself, "What would it take for me to let go of the past?" and notice how you feel when you let go of your anger for a few seconds.
12. Take a Walk in Nature

Spending time out in nature can be very refreshing and renewing.

Taking a walk in your local woods or park and getting some fresh air can allow you to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
13. Be Yourself

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Accept who you are, just be yourself, and you'll feel a world of difference.

We all worry and get upset from time to time.
It’s a normal part of life, right?
But what happens when that anxiety or anger takes over, and you can’t calm down?

Here are some helpful, actionable tips you can try the next time you need to calm down.
1. Breathe

When you’re anxious or angry, you tend to take quick, shallow breaths.
