Three Tips For A Happy Life
20220801 Word of the Week – Happy
Do you ever feel like you’re just not quite happy with your life? Like you’re missing something, but you don’t know what it is?
Well, there’s a chance that what you’re missing is a little bit of selfishness.
Now, before you go thinking that being selfish is a bad thing, let me stop you right there. Being selfish doesn’t have to be a bad thing – as long as you’re not using (or hurting) other people. That’s the negative form of selfishness and it’s definitely self-serving.
But when it comes to your own time and happiness, being selfish and self-serving is often a good thing. Why? Because happy people are generally more well-rounded and they have more to give back to the people in their lives.
So, if you’re looking for ways to be happier and enjoy life more, here are three tips:
Stop trying to please everyone else.
This is probably the most important tip on the list. So many people go through life trying to please other people – whether it’s their boss, their friends, or their family. But at the end of the day, you’re the only one who knows what truly makes you happy. So stop worrying about what other people think and start doing what makes YOU happy.
Learn to say “no.”
Saying “no” can be really hard, especially if you’re a people pleaser. But it’s important to remember that you can’t do everything and you don’t have to say “yes” to every request that comes your way. Start learning to politely decline the things that you don’t really want to do and you’ll start feeling less stressed and more in control of your life.
Make time for yourself.
This one can be tough, especially if you have a lot of responsibilities. But it’s so important to make time for yourself – even if it’s just a few minutes each day. Take some time to do something that YOU enjoy, whether it’s reading, taking a walk, or just sitting in silence. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel when you take some time for yourself.
So there you have it – three tips for being happy and enjoying life more. Start putting them into practice and see how your life changes for the better.
