Question

How do we find happiness every single day? How do we get more out of life to the fullest? There are 3 easy ways to enjoy life in daily life.

One way to find happiness within you is to show your appreciation to others. Appreciation not only gives happiness to others but we also receive happiness in return first for writing a letter of appreciation and second for the response we get. I encourage you to take 3 Post-it notes and write one Post-it of appreciation for your classmate, one for your friend and one for your parents and see the happiness you feel within and the joy you receive in return. It doesn’t cost any money; it’s simple and very rewarding.

Often we are too tough on ourselves by telling us we could have done things better. Have a look at your life and evaluate where you are today and what you have achieved. Often we tend to forget the achievements during the journey of our life and we need to be reminded. Take 5 minutes right now to write down what you have achieved in life and what you are proud of. Go over the list and tell yourself what a wond]erful person you are and what a great job you have done.

Have you ever kept a journal? Sometimes writing things down will give us clarity and awareness. When you write down in a journal, you have the ability to express yourself as you truly would like to be. Writing is part of inner peace, which is a road towards happiness. Take 5 minutes every day to write down your ideas and thoughts in your journal. By doing so, you will find inner peace and a sense of happiness.

The 3 easy steps above take only 15 minutes. Not only will it bring happiness to you but also to others.
