Hi! here’s the second part of the earlier post… Few more simple, easy to follow tips to keep ourselves happy.1. Exercise Exercise!… – Here I am not preaching about some elaborate exercise regimen or fancy gymming. It could be as simple as dancing to your favorite song, 20-30 minutes brisk walk in the neighbourhood or yoga for an 45-60 minutes 3-4 days a week. Believe me, it’s one of the best stress busters. Again, it adds to your self esteem. Even better, if you team up with your family, spouse or friend…it adds to the overall energy level.
2. Extend Help – Helping others makes you feel good about yourself; it could be helping your colleague with presentation skills or donating money for someone in need, giving an hour a month to an under-privileged school, giving some time to a neighbourhood cause, etc. Whenever I have given some time to others, I have felt happy.
3. Be close to nature – If nature is not close to you, you get close to nature…having a couple of potted plants or just a beautiful money plant on your kitchen window sill also helps. (I love mine on my window sill..)
4. Meditate – Don’t have time…Try for 5 minutes every day – you would learn the art and feel the power of meditation… It’s amazing. You can meditate sitting on your office chair, while commuting, while waiting for someone. In our busy lives creating that 5 minute oasis is often what will calm you and make you happy!
5. Be Child like – Let loose and be yourself…laugh, sing, dance, play pranks ….You are never too old to practice these things. Soon, you will notice people around you will love you for this.
Aren’t you already feeling a little good….I am:-)
P.S. In the picture above, it's my son's first bowl of pop corn which he made the day before. Enough to make our day blissful..
