Many quotes stick. Some of the greatest minds lived thousands of years ago, and Aristotle is no exception: “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” A 2000-year-old quote still holds true today; happiness is the ultimate goal of humanity. A contentment with one’s self, a willingness and excitement to get out of bed, and living a life that you love are characteristics of a happy individual. Has it been elusive to you? Try not to deceive yourself by believing that you’ll be happy after you find the “right one”, after you have the nice house, after you have the degree, after you can afford that car, after you move to a new destination, after you can finally afford that vacation. Happiness must come from the inside; your thoughts, emotions, and actions are really the only thing in life that you have control over. Here are a few tips and quotes to help you live a happier life:
- Practice gratitude.
Realize how blessed your life is. Chances are, if you are reading this, you have a roof over your head at night, a place to sleep, access to clean drinking water, and food on your plate. Many people in this world have none of those. If you have an excess, try to give back and share with others. - Smile
Try and smile whenever you can. Even if you have to force it, smiling can release much-needed endorphins. - Exercise
Try to exercise more. Exercise can release much needed feel-good hormones into the bloodstream. Try group sports to help build new friendships and relationships! - Eat Healthy
Try to incorporate more real food into your diet, and limit the soda, processed sugar, and processed foods.
- Spend Time Outside
increase your levels of healthy hormones by spending more time outside or in the sun. Sunlight and nature are proven remedies to feeling blue. - Spend Time with Friends
Spend more time with your loved ones, your relatives, and your friends. Relationships and friendships with people you love are incredibly important. For people on their death beds, the #1 regret is almost always “I didn’t spend enough time with the people I love.”
