Quick Ways To Find Happiness

By Lula T. Parry


Research have shown that receiving paychecks and looking beautiful infront of the mirror only accounts 10 percent of your overall happiness in life. It is the small things you do that puts a smile on your face that really stacks up to the overall percentage of happiness.

Scan some old photographs or recover old pictures from your facebook account and see if it does not make you smile. But chances are, you will feel lighter and happier when you get to see yourself in a happy mood.

Inhale some calming smell if you feel stressed for the entire day at work. Try getting some oranges on your desk and inhale the fresh fruit scent. You will enjoy the calmness it brings making you more focused at work.

Feel free to let the sun's rays touch your skin for a few minutes. Place your exercise equipment where the sun is shining and you will feel an extra amount of energy and happiness. Exposing yourself to bright light especially the sun will have effects on your mood and your sleep.

Research have found out that people who have more exposure to sunlight have lesser tendencies to be depressed and have sleep problems. Walk around the block if you feel tired and sad and you will discover that there will always be something good around every corner.

When you walk into your room and you see a lot of unfinished homework on the desk, you instantly crush your happy mood. So, the next time you enter your room make sure it is all tied up and everything is in place. A clutter-free room makes a worry-free mind.

If you feel like you are going to snap at any moment due to stress, you might want to scan the internet for some funny video or head out to an officemate who never fails to make you laugh. Laughing releases dopamine which calms your nerves down.

To get more happiness out of your dollars, treat your friend to a dinner or the movies. You can even buy concert tickets that you and your friends can enjoy together. It will be money worth spending.
