do things that makes you happy

Do what makes you feel good, not what you think others expect of you.

 

Life Being happy is a sure-fire way to lengthen your life, and believe me when I say that no one in the world can make you as happy as you can make yourself. Period! Like all other emotions, happiness is a feeling that you inhabit and that varies through time. You cannot acquire happiness. Today's environment is one that is characterized by stress and high expectations on both a personal and professional level. And we never once stop to consider whether we are happy or merely compromising while doing things that please those around us.

 

It is fair to say that we are living the life of someone else and not ours. Life is so short and, most importantly, uncertain. What is in store tomorrow? Nobody knows. So, why do we want to please people around us, especially when we are not happy? I suppose it's time we did what makes us feel good, rather than what other people want from us.

 

There are many reasons to make those around you happy, but can you think of a few reasons why you should be happy in the first place? I am sure not many people would even understand the exact meaning of this statement. For many people, being happy means ordering food and binge-watching TV, or buying presents for their loved ones, or partying with friends. But all these are pleasures and not exactly happiness. These pleasures would convert into happiness if you were completely involved in what you were doing. Just doing it because it is the way life goes on, is not termed as happiness, rather it is just you fulfilling an expectation of what people want from you?

 

People always complain about not being satisfied with their lives or the way they can make themselves happy. There is always this question in the mind: how can I make myself happy without hurting others? If you also feel the same, we are here for your rescue. Let us share some reasons with you all today that can probably convince you to love yourself and do what makes you feel good and feel on top of this world, or as people say, on cloud nine.

 

You are the best when you are happy

 

Have you ever noticed how different you are when you are depressed or moping around compared to when you are ecstatic and motivated? It is not just a difference, but actually a major shift in personality. I can guarantee you that if you do something that makes you feel wanted and loved, the results will be top-notch. There is nobody who can beat you if you can’t beat yourself.

 

Doing something you love sets an example!

 

Your every action is watched by your friends, family, colleagues, kids, and society around you, so why not set the bar high? People follow trends in everything from fashion to jewellery to couple goals. If you just live your life and not enjoy it and do what people EXPECT out of you, that is what everyone around will see and feel of you. Vice-a-Vice If you adjust the terms of the game, you'll not only learn to love yourself and take better care of your mental well-being, but you might also find that you gain a lot of friends in your group, and they start to watch out for you.

 

Happiness means health

 

Numerous studies on happiness and its relationship to health have been conducted, and the findings have consistently shown that happiness and health are similar. For a healthy body, you need to feed them with the food of love and happiness. Try noticing: when you are sad, everything around you seems sad and vulnerable, but when you are happy, it feels like there is good news for everyone. This is nothing but energy attracted to each other. Everyone who has ever lived will ultimately die, so why not live joyfully and fully appreciate each day of your life instead of moping around till the end? Think about it.

 

Stop living in the illusions of others

 

There is no question that expectations are difficult to live up to and even more difficult to not meet. But have you ever wondered that when you fulfil one expectation, another one will materialize? Our lives are always revolving around the pursuit of expectation, which is nothing more than a vicious cycle. I mean, consider it. You didn't call a friend who was expecting you to call and inform them about anything that happened in YOUR life. The next time you run into each other, you'll notice that individual acting in a completely different way, and you'll be left wondering what exactly went wrong. To be completely honest, nothing but everything. Once in your life, you made the decision to share the news with someone, and as a result, they began to anticipate that you would share every piece of news for the rest of your life. I assure you that if you apologize now, the vicious cycle will once again begin.

 

Once you make the decision to live for yourself rather than taking into account your surroundings, Try engaging in some of these straightforward activities to boost your mood and make you feel more energized. These are really simple adjustments to your regular daily routine.

 

And yes, it’s possible. And the more you work on these five things, the happier your life will become.

 

E Smile – The most basic, unadulterated, and genuine kind of joy. In life, a smile may work wonders. If you don't believe me, try smiling at yourself in the mirror the next time you're feeling down. You will start to feel better and happier right away, I promise. It occurs because smiling causes your brain to release dopamine, which uplifts your mood.

 

E Exercise – Exercise is not actually necessary for maintaining your physical fitness. There are more advantages than you may imagine. Even if it only takes a few minutes per day, those with anxiety, stress, or depression issues should try to exercise. Exercise improves pleasure and self-esteem while reducing stress. Take a walk when the weather is nice and pleasant and you will be happy for no reason.

 

E Sleep – Our bodies require a minimum of 7-8 hours of sleep per night to function properly. You can experience irritability or confusion if you don't get enough sleep. Try adhering to a sleeping schedule for a happy and healthy life. You'll not only be protected from the so-called modern diseases, but you'll also enable your brain to function effectively.

 

E Recognize your unhappy moments – Life has both good and bad moments, and we don’t have control over what comes next. Everyone faces struggles and challenges in their lives, and nobody expects you to be perfect and keep a smile on your face. Don’t be fake when you are sad. If you are sad, show it to the world and move on. Faking happiness can become a habit, and then you won’t feel any difference between when you are trying to be happy and when you actually are happy.

 

E Stop Whining – Putting an end to your whining and comparisons is the best thing you can do for yourself. You don't have to or can't pretend to be someone else, and keep in mind that you can't please everyone. Simply take each stage of life as it comes and savour every moment, good and sorrowful.

 

In truth, your life will include both pleasant and strange days. The most crucial component of life is how you control and elevate your mood without giving too much thought to what other people think. Every person perceives things and people in their lives in a unique way. One person's solution might not be suitable for another. Therefore, you ought to experiment with various things that might make you feel content and appreciated. Yes, there is no doubt that the one thing that can truly make you happy for the rest of your life is the love you have for yourself. However, only you and no one else can decide whether you want to be happy or miserable.

 

Always have a positive mindset because, as someone once said, negativity invites misery, and I am sure you don’t want to be miserable. And keep in mind, if avoiding expectations is not possible, consider creating realistic expectations instead. Talk about it with everyone who means the world to you, clearly and loudly.

 

Postscript - Evaluate the people in your surroundings and stick with the ones who make you feel good about yourself.
