📝Living the Good Life – 10 Minutes of Happiness & Just 10 Minutes Exercise!
Remember our theme 'this year will be different!' Instead of waiting for the world to change, let’s focus on what we can do for ourselves. Let’s make this a happy and healthy year so we are ready for all the good things to come.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to smile and be happy. This week try to limit the news, and consciously spend at least 10 minutes a day to make yourself happy. We may think that when we reach our goal weight we will be happy. But research shows that being happy helps us lose weight - we will eat less and move more. A happy person enjoys a healthier lifestyle and makes better food choices, by treating life as a source of pleasure. Create happiness to achieve more of your goals. Enjoy the wonders of positive emotions both before and after succeeding in your efforts!
Put aside your worries and live in the moment for 10 minutes a day. When you smile, you can actually feel better right away. Be creative to find your happiness. Do something that makes you smile or laugh. Switch to lively music and dance around the kitchen, play an instrument, sing a song, play with the puppy, discover laughter yoga, watch a comedy, google jokes, chat with an uplifting friend. Add exercise that is fun. Aerobic exercises have been proven to reduce anxiety and depression - jog, swim, cycle, walk, garden, dance, etc. Find your own connection between happiness and good health.
Synonyms and words related to happy - blissful, delighted, gratified, joyous, pleased, satisfied, thankful, tickled, beaming, cheery, lighthearted, sunny, upbeat, contented, ecstatic, smiley, thrilled, jolly, jubilant
Other things that can keep you happier - good time management so you are not rushed, cheerful people, fun things to do, living in the moment, keeping a balanced perspective about life, playful attitude, treat others well, regular exercise, etc.
