About This Article
Living a happy life starts with basic self-care. Try to eat a healthy, balanced diet, get plenty of sleep, and exercise a little bit each day so that you feel your best. Make time for fun and relaxing activities, like spending time with friends and doing hobbies you enjoy. When you feel overwhelmed, do stress-relieving activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Your mental attitude can make a big difference in how happy you feel, so watch out for negative self-talk. Next time you get down on yourself, gently replace the negative thought with a more positive or realistic one. Set realistic goals for yourself and work toward them a little bit every day, since this can help give you a sense of purpose. Remember to celebrate your successes, even the little ones. For more advice from our co-author, including how to deal with challenges in life, read on!
