Effective Ways to Boost Your Happiness
Research has shown that happiness causes success. Happiness also boosts performance, productivity and helps in managing stress and adversity.
This week, be intentional about being happy. Things may not go exactly the way they should but, in the midst of it, find something to be thankful for, share a smile or a joke with a friend, do something kind for someone… these are all ways to boost your happiness!
Here is a handy list of happiness boosters that you can incorporate daily.
20 mins of movement - exercise or walking.
60 seconds of deep breathing.
Meditation or prayer.
Do something kind for someone else.
Laugh.
Do something you enjoy doing, for example, read a book, listen to music, gardening, art.
Keep a daily gratitude journal - write a list of blessings you are thankful for and look at it when you need a quick pick-me-up.
Get some self-care/pampering like a massage, manicure/pedicure, new hairstyle...
Call a good friend or family member - having a good conversation can change your mood.
Write your achievements for the day. Celebrate yourself!
