subject: How To Be Happy: Tips On Pursuing Happiness [print this page] We've all heard that we are all in charge of our own happiness. But how do you take that to heart and learn for it to be true? That is easier said than done. But it isn't impossible with a little bit of effort and positivity.
It's been proven that you can make yourself happy by making other people happy. Listening to people makes them feel important. When you listen to them you are subconsciously telling them that what they have to say makes a difference.
Walking is great for positive energy and can boost your happiness level. When you exercise your body gets rid of stress and you don't feel as tense as before exercising.
You can pump up your own energy levels by just eating raw fruits and vegetables. That means more of the energy stored in the food will be stored as fat and your body won't absorb as many nutrients from the meal.
Think about picking up that book you've been meaning to read. When you pick up a book, it will take your mind off what is causing stress.
Keep in contact with your friends and family members. Your social network gives you access to information, advice and guidance when you need them. It's comforting to know that you have people you can turn to.
Also, work on your relationships with older folks. All older adults have things in their home which remind them of cherished memories. Sometimes it's a little too easy to hang onto too much stuff.
Finally, you have to learn to enjoy the ride of life that you are on. Try a new sport, learn a musical instrument, go on a vacation or take up a new hobby. These are so easy.
