It is okay not to feel happy all the time. As humans, everyone goes through ups and downs, sometimes caused by things that nobody can control. There are, however, some things that you can do to try and improve how you feel day-to-day so that you can be happier overall. Focus on the things that matter, look after yourself, and over time you will start to feel better. Let’s look at some ways to head towards a happier future.
5 Ways To Head Towards a Happier Future
#1 Look after your body
You may hear this often, but it is because it is true; taking care of your body can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and your happiness overall. Eating healthily, drinking plenty of water, and exercising will help to make sure that you are doing everything you can to ensure your body is as healthy as it can be. Doing these things can make you feel better in yourself, and can also ensure that it is easier to sleep and get around.
#2 Create an environment you love
Your home should be somewhere that you can relax, and how it looks can factor into how you feel without you even knowing it. If you don’t like how something is, it can negatively affect how you feel, so if you can, you should change it. You don’t have to spend lots of money to create a stress-free area where you can spend your time.
If you don’t have enough time or money to change your whole home into something you love, start with your bedroom. It should be an area where you can slow down and not be disturbed by anything around you.
#3 Notice the little things
It isn’t likely that big things will happen every day that will make you feel unbelievably happy, but some things will happen, even on difficult days, that will make you smile. That is why it is essential to pay attention to these things so you can notice the good things that go on around you. Try to keep a list of them, and add to it whenever you can. It will give you something to look back on when you need a pick me up.
#4 Try not to worry about things you can’t control
This is easier said than done, but worrying about things that you cannot control can take a lot of time and energy. If you want to get an answer to a question, you could try and ask a yes no oracle to see if it helps to lessen your worries, but if not, try to focus on the present. Be more mindful about the world around you, and take time to do things that you love. Just because you can’t predict how things will happen in the future, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still try to enjoy your present.
#5 Do things that you love
Not everything that you do has to have a purpose or make you money. There are some things that you should do, just because you love doing it. Expand your knowledge on a topic that you find interesting by doing a free online course, knit, paint, or walk. Nothing is pointless if you love it.

I will add about being mindful and creating awareness, staying away from negativity. I am no longer obsessed with competition or comparing myself with others. The points enumerated are so true and a step-by-step approach is important to create happy space both mentally and in our environment.
I am definitely going to follow all of these points, Corinne. I accept I can not always be happy but I can always work towards being happy. I have taken note of the free online courses site and will explore it.

Excellent reminders at a time when it’s difficult to remain upbeat with all the dreadful news. But it’s lovely to be in one’s home, to have time to read and write, to exercise and call friends and family.
How have you been Corinne? Hope you and your family are well.
