5 Ways To Be Instantly Happier

April 20, 2022 · In: Fitness, Mental Wellness, Wellness

Gratitude: An intentional appreciation of what and who you have; an acceptance and explicit acknowledgment of what life brings you.

Gratitude is a way for people to appreciate what they have instead of always reaching for something new in the hopes it will make them happier, or thinking they can’t feel satisfied until every physical and material need is met. Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. And, although it may feel contrived at first, this mental state grows stronger with use and practice.

I Love & Agree with these 5 tips from, Harvard Health, that can help us have appreciation and gratitude daily.

1. Write a thank-you note. You can make yourself happier and nurture your relationship with another person by writing a thank-you letter expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of that person’s impact on your life. Send it, or better yet, deliver and read it in person if possible. Make a habit of sending at least one gratitude letter a month. Once in a while, write one to yourself.

2. Thank someone mentally. No time to write? It may help just to think about someone who has done something nice for you, and mentally thank the individual.

3. Keep a gratitude journal. Make it a habit to write down or share with a loved one thoughts about the gifts you’ve received each day.

4. Count your blessings. Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings — reflecting on what went right or what you are grateful for. Sometimes it helps to pick a number — such as three to five things — that you will identify each week. As you write, be specific and think about the sensations you felt when something good happened to you.

5. Meditate. Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. Although people often focus on a word or phrase (such as “peace”), it is also possible to focus on what you’re grateful for (the warmth of the sun, a pleasant sound, etc.).

We said goodbye to our sweet blind Ruby Girl today We said goodbye to our sweet blind Ruby Girl today. 🐾

We adopted Ruby 5 years ago & fell in love with her no bullshit attitude the minute we met. 🤌🏽

Always wondered what kind of life she had before us but grateful she was there to help us start the family we built together. 

You were so loved Ruby Girl. 💕

When you're not running free - I hope there are a lot of bath mats to lie down on in heaven Rubes ✨
