Hi lovelies,

Happiness isn’t usually something you can find. It’s more of a state of mind. Being happy is for the now, not for the future. However, with that said there are things you can do to help attain it. Things you can shift in your life to ensure that now is a happier place to be with less worries and more things to cheer on. It varies from person to person because of course, everyone is different. What might give you something to be happy about might not do the same for someone else. Maybe you’re triggered by health and they are by success. That’s why it’s dangerous looking at someone else's life and trying to emulate it because you might not get what you want out of it whatsoever. Trial and error might be needed too...however, simply trying might help you get to where you need to be in terms of happiness.

Focus On Your Image
If you feel uncomfortable, if you don’t like what you see and you can’t reconcile with it then maybe you need to do something about it. If you’re happy in your body, then try something else. If you’re thinking about weight loss then there are multiple avenues to take. For a start, you might consider a light diet. You could also look into various forms of exercise. If you do both at the same time you’re bound to lose weight. If you get to the point where you’re happy about your body then happiness will certainly come more easily. The key is to ensure that you don’t get obsessed with it. Get yourself to where you need to be in terms of your starter goal and stop there.

Eliminate Health Concerns
Health concerns pose huge worries on those with them. Not only that, but the concerns themselves can cause pain and discomfort which can kick happiness out of the realms of possibility. So do all you can to get rid of them. It might be the case of using a massaging gun to eak the ache out of sore muscles. Maybe you can’t see properly and it’s starting to really annoy you enough to get that eye test. Deal with them head on, don’t push them under the carpet because they could just get far worse and end up costing you more in terms of time and money.  Without health concerns, you can focus on what matters most. 

Chase The Dream
Maybe you’re stuck in a little bit of a lul...wanting to leave your job and do something which gets you sufficiently excited instead of something which fills you with worry or sadness. Maybe you want to go it alone and start your own side hustle. Perhaps you have a great social media following you want to monetise. It might be a case of going back to college to study a course which can open up a whole new world in terms of career. The key is to take action. The simple act of moving towards your dream can help your happiness because you know you’re doing the right thing...better than just hoping something will happen to you. Being proactive, not reactive is the key.

Start A Business
Many people don’t like the thought of working for others and want to push into the world of business. It isn’t an easy route, but it’s a route that can give you a lot of happiness over time. Especially when you start knocking on the right doors and making some money. If you’ve always wanted to set up your own business instead of working for someone else then start to take the right steps towards it. Your journey will be a tough one with multiple hiccoughs along the way, but that’s part of the fun. As long as you hold some resilience, you’ll be fine. 

Make Time For Friends
Life gets busy and it can be really tough to make time for friends. However, it has to be done. Start booking in meets. Thinking of things you can do together and going ahead with planning it. They’re someone to talk to. Even if you’re talking nonsense and telling each other Chuck Norris jokes or poking fun at each other. Ultimately, they’re people who care about your happiness as much as you do. Having those special people to bounce ideas off and talk things through with is really important. They can make the difference between a happy life or a sad one. The key is in realising that you have to put the effort in. The relationships won’t just look after themselves. Even if you live far apart there’s nothing wrong with a phone call or chatting to them on facetime, as long as you make time.
