Your Happy Life

I thought I would bring you a few ideas of what to do now the weather is getting warmer as it is now Spring. I do personally like Spring as it is when all the flowers start coming in to bloom or get planted and you see a lot of blossom on the trees and all the baby animals in fields it just wonderful.

So here are just some ideas I came up with , when I was daydreaming about this time of year and what to do and so forth.

• Have a picnic - I personally love doing this and will do it when ever I can

•  Go for a hike - It is a good way to see the changes Spring brings with it and a way to get exercise.

• Go for a bike ride -good for the exercise and view

• Go strawberry picking - This is fun and also you can eat what you pick yummy

• .Go camping -have a mini break and go camping for a weekend or long weekend it's up to you

So there are some of my ideas for what to do in Spring I would absolutely love to know what you like doing in Spring or what your ideas are.




 

 I thought that we could all do with some help staying positive through out the day or the rest of the week or when ever.

So here are some tip, tricks and ideas that will help keep you on track or give you a little positivity in your life.

• Have a Mental List of Awesomeness.

 Having a high self- esteem will help you to keep anxiety at bay , improve your relationships and friendships, and will encourage optimism. If you don't appreciate yourself enough or are feeling down, why not try making a mental list of all the awesome and amazing things you have done lately and you do not even have to be modest with!

 When you go over the awesome actions and choices you have made, Then you will better about yourself and soon you will feel as awesome as yo are! It's hard not to!

• Reach out and Help Someone

We live in a society that encourages us to think of others before other and encourages egotism and become obsessed with ourselves, but if you really want to be happy then try helping others out.

It doesn't have to be anything big it can be something small and simple such as, helping someone carry some bags, calling your mum on the phone can make her whole week. Reaching something for someone who can't reach it .

Just doing something simple for someone else can make a big difference for them and can make you feel pretty awesome yourself and with an attitude like that it is hard to feel anything but positive.

• Don't Make a Mountain out of a Molehill

It is really easy to make a mountain out of a molehill, which basically means making something small into something much bigger when it is not.

It is all to easy to look at something and think of a million reason why you shouldn't do something or why you can not do something. Why not switch that thinking around and think of a million reasons why you can do something and why you should do it?

To put some perspective on the situation then you can talk to someone else and they can tell you what they think and try to help you think of the positive things for what ever your situation is, you can do this with as many people as you want it all helps.

• Start Your Day the Way you Mean to Continue

Start your day thinking something positive. This will help you to keep up the positive attitude and the positive thinking.

Take your mornings slowly don't try and rush things because this will get your mind thinking about all the stress and perceived loss of power will take over and before you know it the negative thoughts will pile up and take over. So have a nice uplifting chat with a friend or family member or read or listen to music or a podcast which ever of your choosing over breakfast or the journey in to school /work or wherever you go.

• Find the Optimistic Viewpoint in a Negative Situation  

This is one of the most simplest ways to build up a more positive outlook on life in general. Sometimes when in a negative situation, it is good to ask yourself a question or 2 or so like:

• What is one thing that could be a positive or good thing about this situation?
• What opportunity could I get out of this situation?

This is so much better then looking at situations in a negative way. Which only makes things worse and makes things spiral downwards even faster then before . (I sometimes still catch myself doing this!).

I wouldn't do this straight away, I would allow myself some time to process my thoughts and feelings that I feel because of the situation that I am in. Trying to force yourself to think optimistically when still feeling emotional turmoil or a bit shocked, usually doesn't work well.

Hey there, Wonderful people of the world!


From time to time everyone feels down about something in there life. It is only normal and besides if you were always happy and everything good happened to you, then you would not appreciate the good things so much that happen and you would lose that feeling of happy and joy.

So here are a few things that I do to get myself feeling happy and back to feeling like me again.

• Listen to music - I would suggest something upbeat and fun as you are trying to make yourself feel better not worse! So put your favourite upbeat songs on and dance and sing like no one is watching.

• Get out and about -Go for a walk somewhere get some fresh air, go somewhere maybe invite some friends to go with you. This always makes me feel better. It's the simple things in life.

• Plan to do Something- It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as you have something to look forward to in the future, it could be the end of the week or a couple of days time or end of the month or even something later the same day. Just go and do something this can also be a good time to catch up with your friends or family.

• Make time for things that make you feel good - Again doesn't matter what it is just do something that makes you feel good, never mind how silly it is as long as it makes you feel good and doesn't hurt anyone else.

• Most importantly THINK POSITIVLY!!!- This is one of the most important ones, so take it seriously! If you think positively then you feel better and happy and more relaxed and possibly more confident in yourself. Lets face it negative thoughts only bring you down and can be hard to get away from once you start heading down that path.

Let me know how you get yourself out of a funk and into a happy more positive mood. I would love to hear them. Remember say no to negative thoughts
