Not happy with how things are going in your life? Looking for ways to spice up your dull and
boring life? The following list are
things people have done and are doing to enhance their personalities and live
the kind of life that makes them happy.
1) Seek adventure.
Thrill-seekers thrive on having a life that is exciting. Some will plan what their next adventure will
be while others will just spontaneously go out and do whatever they feel like
doing at that moment. Do what you always
wanted to do and bring a camera along with you so that you will be able to
reflect on the memory later that made you happy.
2) Visit a place without planning it. As mentioned above, some thrill seekers enjoy
spontaneity. Take a drive down a road
you have never driven, walk down a path you never trod and see a place you
never visited.
3) Make plans to visit old friends. Too many promises of “will do lunch”? Time to set a date, time, and location
between friends to catch up on one another’s lives.
4) Write a letter. It
doesn’t matter if the receiver is friend or family member, sometimes it is nice
to express how you feel and tell stories about your life through the written
word. Who knows, this may be just the
release you need to enhance your thoughts of happiness while making someone
else happy to hear from you.
5) Purchase or create a gift for someone. When you shop for someone other than
yourself, you are creating a positive energy that will boomerang back to you in
the future. Helping someone else
achieve happiness is key to finding your own happiness. Subconsciously, you will find yourself
desiring more ways to make yourself and others happy.
6) Take the bus around town.
Too often drivers miss out on the opportunities to really enjoy the
environment they live in because they are too busy focusing on drivers around
them. Take some of the pressure off
yourself and experience the world from a different perspective. You will be surprised at all of the places
you never noticed while driving. You may
find a place to visit that brings a smile on your face.
7) Research local colleges for classes you might enjoy. Sometimes just reading about something new
can take your mind off your problems.
Focus on learning about something that pleases you.
8) Find a new job/career.
Many people are not happy in their jobs.
While cost of living increases, their checks aren’t that is enough to
make anyone unhappy. You may be able to
enhance your mood if you research what companies are paying more than the one you
are with for the same amount of work or less.
Less stress, more happiness!
9) End relationships that are energy stealers. Whether it is a friend who is a mooch or a
girlfriend who takes up all your time, make a decision whether or not you want
to keep this person around. You may have
family members who are also energy stealers, if so lessen the amount of time
you spend with them.
10) Relocate. Sometimes
people tend to become unhappy when they realize the place they live isn’t all
that it was cracked up to be. If you
find that your apartment, home, or neighborhood is giving you more tears, then
smiles make every effort to move. Your
mind, body, and spirit will thank you later!
