How To Celebrate Every day as an International Day of Happiness?
- Focus On Positive Thoughts – The most important decision you will make this day – and every other day – is how you are going to feel. The only thing you can really control in life with any amount of certainty is yourself. You cannot control your spouse, children, coworkers, just about any other living person on earth, or even the dog. Sometimes we don’t even really control ourselves very well, but for gaining happiness we must focus on positive thoughts.
- Eat Healthy And Exercise Daily – Do you know that our eating habit and exercise is directly related to our thoughts? A healthy mind stays in a healthy body and this means we must eat nutritious food and exercise regularly to stay healthy, fit, and happy.
- Meditation – So why not exercise your power to make decisions and meditate daily to be happy today? Everyday half an hour of meditation works wonder suppose if your spouse wakes up cranky today don’t let that change your happy outlook. Give them their space to be cranky because that is what they have chosen for their day. Respect their choice but don’t let it change yours. Just let them go about their cranky morning and you get on with your happy day. Decide to be happy today. Just because you have a stressful job, cranky infant, or high-strung boss does not mean you don’t have the ultimate power to determine what you want for yourself today. Don’t lose your power to decide just close your eyes and meditate. Follow breathing exercises, with deep inhale and deep exhale this works wonders in releasing negative thoughts or blocked thoughts. Just follow meditation and enjoy your day.
- Happiness Is A Choice – Always remember happiness is a choice. Taking the incredible choice to be happy is important for starting a happy day and don’t let anyone or anything get in your way. If you feel the power of your choice slipping away take a few minutes for yourself to regroup. Simply find a place to be alone, take a deep breath, and remember you have this under control because it is up to you and you have made a decision. How you feel today is your choice. This is your day and always remember your choice.
- Be Kind And Help Others – You are a greater help to others if you have a calm and peaceful demeanor about yourself. You will feel calmer and more peaceful if you do not take other’s comments or judgments personally and simply decide on helping and forgiving others.
