Or the freedom to pursue your deepest fantasies. Regardless of your opinion about true bliss, living a better, more contented life is within access. In pursuit of happiness, a few tricks and tips of your regular habits can assist get you there.

Habits matter. If you have ever tried to get rid of a bad habit, you know all too well how ingrained they are.

Well, good habits are deeply engrained, too. So why not work on making positive practices part of your routine? Have a look at some daily, monthly, and annual habits to help kick-start your quest. Just keep in mind that everyone’s version of happiness is a little different, and so is their way to achieving it.

If some of these habits develop additional stress or just don’t fit your lifestyle, wreck them. With a bit of time & practice, you will figure out what does and doesn’t work for you.

Daily habits

Smile

You tend to smile when you’re happy. But it’s a two-way street.

We could say a smile is the closest happiness synonym you should know.

We pass a smile because we’re happy, and smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, making us more comfortable.

That does not mean you have to go around with a fraudulent smile plastered on your face. But the next time you find yourself feeling down, pass a smile & see what occurs. Or try opening each morning by smiling at yourself in the mirror hung at your wall.

Exercise

Exercise is not just for your body. Daily exercise can help lessen stress, feelings of anxiety, & symptoms of depression while boosting self-esteem & happiness.

Even a tinny amount of physical activity can make a difference. You do not have to train for a triathlon or scale a cliff — unless that’s what makes you happy, of course.

The trick is not to overexert. If you abruptly throw yourself into a strenuous routine, you’ll probably end up frustrated (and sore).

Get plenty of sleep

No matter how much the latest society steers us toward less sleep, we know that adequate sleep is a vital trusted source for good health, brain function, & emotional prosperity.

Most teenagers need about seven or eight hours of sleep daily. But, if you keep on fighting the urge to sleep during the day, your body may be telling you it needs more rest.

Eat with the moods in mind

You already know that food likes and dislikes intensely impact your overall physical and mental health. But some foods can also have a significant effect on your state of mind.

Some examples are given below:

•  Lean cuts of meat, poultry, vegetables, and dairy products are rich in proteins. This food release dopamine and norepinephrine, which is the amount of energy and concentration. 
• The carbohydrates in the release of serotonin, the “feel-good” ” hormone. The only limit simple carbs-foods high in sugars and starches to a minimum, as this burst of energy on the short term and you will fall for. 
• Complex carbohydrates, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are much better. Highly processed or fried foods tend to leave you feeling depressed. Just as it is to skip a meal, start by making one better food choice every day.

Be grateful

 Just be thankful your mood a big boost too, among other things. For example, a recent two-part study has found that practicing gratitude can significantly impact the emotions of hope and good fortune. 

At the end of each day, by the confession of a thing that you are grateful for. 

Give a compliment

Several studies have shown that acts of kindness can help you feel more fulfilled. Any happiness movie will show you that compliments have an effect on anyone, anywhere.

A sincere compliment is a quick and easy way to brighten someone’s day, as you’re in luck. 

But don’t praise someone too much, be honest. As we hear in the song by The Beatles: “Happiness is a warm gun” and that’s true. When you’re happy you shower others with a happy feeling naturally without even thinking about it. That’s a great goal to reach in your life.

Take a deep breath. 

You’re tense, your shoulders, and you feel that you would be able to “lose it.” 

But, instead, your instincts will tell you to take a long, deep breath to calm down. 

It turns out that it is a good thing. 

So the next time you feel stressed or depressed, then follow these steps: 

1. Close your eyes. Trying to set up a happy memory or a nice place to be. 

2. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. 

3. Slowly breathe out through your mouth and nose. 

4. Repeat this process several times until you feel better. 

Acknowledge the unhappy moments

A positive attitude is generally good, but the bad things from happening to anyone else. It’s just a part of life. 

If you have bad news for you, make a mistake, or feel like you are in a state of shock, do not attempt to pretend that you’re happy. 

Keep a journal with you

A quality weekly or daily journal is a great way to organize your thoughts, analyze your emotions and make plans. You do not have to be a literary genius or the writing of the book to make a difference. 

This can be simple to pen down a few thoughts before I go to bed. However, if it is present in several things in writing, it makes you nervous; you can always break them up when you’re done with it. It is the process itself that is important. 

Face stress

Life is full of stress, and it is impossible to avoid all of them. 

These stressors cannot be avoided; remember that everyone has stress — and there is no reason to believe that it’s all on you. And you’re likely to have more power than you might think.
