5 Daily Activities For A Happy Life

    As most of you know, being happy is much more than just deciding to smile and BEING a happy a person (although that DOES play a big role)

    Being happy requires mental, physical and emotional steps in the right direction to actually LIVE a healthy life.



1. Read more books

    I know reading isn't exactly "popular" these days, but do it! Whether you're reading fiction, personal development, science, autobiographies etc. It doesn't matter exactly what you read, but studies say that reading for 10 minutes a day relaxes your mind and sharpens it at the same time. PLUS, it's proven that reading more makes you a better write & speaker! yayyyy



2. Workout

    Sharpening the saw of the body is SO important. Working out keeps you more alert throughout the day, not to mention all of the health benefits of it. Doctors say that it actually increases your productivity by 30%. A one hour workout is 4% of your day, meaning you get an net increase of 26% time and productivity .So when people ask "How do you have time to workout?!" as Zig Ziglar says "I don't have time NOT to workout"



3. Pray or Meditiate

    Now depending on what religion you believe in - you should pray, meditate, or visualize EVERY day! Connecting with your God or higher power is so helpful when dealing with the daily stress of life. Knowing we have a source other than ourself who's looking out for us and has a "big picture" plan helps us stay sane when dealing with pesky difficulties that cross our paths.



4. Drink Water

    Did you know that when you're stressed your body actually burns up the water inside of you? Probably not. I didn't know that either until my old yoga teacher taught me about that! So, even when our day to day life isn't making us rip our hair out, we're still navigating daily choices, decisions, and busy thoughts throughout the day that use up our water stores. Imagine being EXTRA stressed on top of that -- it happens to all of us!! Drink up ladies! PS. Next time you feel really stressed out, sick, or overwhelmed, chug a glass of water. I promise it'll make you feel a bit better right away :)



5. Speak positively

    We all know that "Thoughts becomes things" and "What you think about, you bring about" and "Whether you think you can, or think you can't - either way you are right"
Basically what I'm trying to say here is - you can't live a positive life if you're living negative thoughts! "Perception is reality.." Seriously I could go on and on about the important of positive thinking. This will CHANGE your life! Tomorrow morning when you wake up, tell yourself this "I am going to have a great day, thank you for the freedom to choose how my day goes and for blessing me with another day of opportunity! I am a genius and I apply my wisdom. I am happy, healthy, and wealthy and I positively impact the lives of those around me." Try it! See how you feel & how you day goes!
