BE WITH PEOPLE WHO SEES THE BEST
IN YOU
A famous
quote by Karl Marx,
“Surround
yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help
you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth
keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.
“It
is the law of nature that like attracts like, so to be happy surround yourself
with positive, motivated and grateful people. Be with the those who values and
respect yours true self. Everybody owes this to themselves, isn’t it?
DO THE THINGS YOU LOVE
Anything, any hobby that makes you happy, go for it. Want to learn a new
language why wait? Want to paint start today. It’s not about perfection it’s
about trying and experiencing for your own happiness.
EMBRACE SIMPLE PLEASURES
It is said that ‘’ most beautiful things are the simplest one’’. Value and
embrace those little joyous moments in your lives, a warm cup of coffee with
friend, warm hugs, cuddles with loved ones, silly jokes, starry night. Its all
worth it to be appreciated and experienced with open heart.
EXERCISE, EXERCISE, MEDIATE
AND REPEAT
The two most important pillars for the foundation of healthy and happy life
style are exercise and meditation. Exercise could be in any physical activity
that pleases you, running, jogging, cycling, stretching. Even a small amount of
activity will influence your mind and body in a very positive way. The secret
is not to exert yourself, if it is strenuous, you will not be able to continue or
enjoy it.
Meditation is not necessarily complex; you can just sit with peace in mind
and heart. Mediation explores movement, rhythmic cycles of body and spirituality
and boost inner peace to remarkable level.
FOLLOW A GOOD ROUTINE OF
HEALTHY EATING AND SLEEP
There was a saying for children ‘’Early to bed and early to rise, makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise’’. Sleep is crucial for whole body metabolism to
work regularly and leveling hormones for health. If someone is deprived of good
sleep, it will not only affect its heath but mood and overall way of life. Try
to adopt a routine of sound sleep. Another very important tip to have sound
sleep is to relax before bedtime, take shower, read a book or drink a warm cup
of milk.
Food is the fuel to human body; it not only fulfills energy needs for
proper functioning of body but also controls hormones. Carbohydrates are main
part of diet that release Serotonin that in general is called to feel good hormone.
Lean meat, legumes and green veggies releases norepinephrine and dopamine that increases
energy and focus. Try to avoid highly oily, salted and highly processed food
that will not only affect health but decreases energy level and tends to skip
regular healthy meals.
