How To Be Happy

Hello readers! I have something that I have been wanting to write, but it's not coming together. So I will work on it and give it to you soon. 

In my psychology class, we talked about being happy. We were given a list of 5 things that, if applied in our lives, would make us happy. Do you want to know what they are? Here they are!


HOW TO BE HAPPY:
1- Accept painful emotions. This means that you are alive. If you can't learn to feel pain, you will not learn to feel happiness.

2- Spend time with those you love.  You'll feel their love.

3- Exercise. Endorphins! 

4- Express Gratitude. Even if you don't have everything, you'll realize that you have a LOT. Maybe even more than you need.

5- Simplify. Find time for yourself.

We were asked to try one of these things this week. I decided to express gratitude. Each night, I wrote down five things that I am grateful for. You know what, it has worked. 

I challenge you to try it. Let me know how it goes! Good Luck! :)
