I am sharing my happiness hacks with you today. These hacks will help boost your happiness so you can get the most out of life!
- Happiness comes from within
- Don’t rely on other people to make you happy. I.e., If you love flowers, buy them for yourself. The flowers themselves will help boost your mood.
- Do what you love and what makes you happy
- Get some exercise
- Exercise gets endorphins (the happiness hormones) flowing.
- It doesn’t have to be strenuous exercise
- Try going for a bike ride
- Take a walk – being in the fresh air will help your mood too
- Go for a swim
- Try Yoga – it not only will boost the endorphins through exercise, but yoga has such a mindset piece behind it that will boost your mood too.
- Eat a healthy diet
- Eating the right foods will make you feel good
- Too much sugar will give you a high for a moment, but then the sugar crash later will not be good for your mood.
- Eating leafy greens will boost your mood because the folate in them produces dopamine in the brain.
- What’s good for your gut health is good for your mood
- Eat chocolate – yes, please! Of all my happiness hacks, this has to be my favorite. The tryptophan in chocolate boosts the production of serotonin in the brain, which will help you have a happier mood.
- Consume enough healthy fats such as Avocado, olives, nuts (make sure they are not fried in harmful oils), avoid unhealthy fats like vegetable oils, canola oil, and hydrogenated oils.
- Try Meditation
- Meditation is excellent for your mood because it helps to relieve stress; when you are less stressed, you are much happier.
- If meditation is new to you, I recommend trying guided meditation apps such as Smiling Mind or Calm.
- Listen to music
- Music in itself is a mood booster
- Singing along with the music will give you a warm fuzzy feeling due to it connecting to the part of the brain the registers pleasure.
