I wrote down the things I was grateful for every day… “Happiness comes from the simplest things.”

Many people try to find ways to be happy. Experts say that happiness does not mean having no negative emotions and having a lot of positive emotions. Happiness is pursuing a life with meaning and purpose and living according to your values.

The form of happiness that each person dreams of may be different, but there are changes and habits that can lead us to a more enjoyable path. Experts say, “Simple lifestyle changes can have a profound effect on mental health.” Based on data from the American health and medical media outlet ‘Prevention’, we have compiled habits that can increase the joy and sense of accomplishment in everyday life.

|Take care of your body and mind|

Be thankful for everything=It may seem like happiness leads to gratitude, but it actually works the other way around. Practicing gratitude can motivate us to feel more positive emotions and make healthier choices. One way to do this is to keep a “gratitude journal.”

regular exercise=We all know that exercise is good for your body, but did you know that it’s also good for your mind? There are numerous studies that show that exercise can help improve your mental health. Exercise releases endorphins, which affect your mood, and regular exercise can lead to a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

Hydration=Studies have shown that dehydration can negatively affect mood and cognitive processes.

Fun activities=Make a list of activities that bring you joy and pleasure, and do one of them every day. Things like taking a walk, visiting your favorite cafe, etc. Making a list can help you on tough days.

|Stress Management|

Deep breath=It’s a great way to reduce stress and center yourself.

Be kind to yourself=Personal growth and maintaining healthy habits takes a lot of effort. Be kind to yourself when you fail.

Close to nature=Time spent outdoors, such as taking a walk in the park, can increase happiness. Experts say, “When we are in nature, we tend to forget about ourselves and our problems,” and “not only does this process reduce stress, but taking a step back from your problems can help you see them from a different perspective.”

Mindfulness Training=Whether it’s brewing coffee or taking a shower, just being present in the moment and savoring what exactly is happening. Daily mindfulness helps you face the rest of the day calmly and positively.
