1. Get Outside Some More

How’s the weather today? Sunlight is necessary. It’s vital for vitamin D, which plays an important part in everything from testosterone and fat loss to a good health.

Even just a five-minute walk in the park has proven to make you feel delightful.

If you can’t get outside, bring the outside to you. Surrounding yourself with plants can actually reduce stress and make you happier.

Traveling more and see the world is indeed one of the only things you buy, that truly makes you richer and happier. You get to see the world, meet lots of new and different people, while getting to know yourself even better.

4. Laugh Every day

Are you laughing every day? If the answer is NO, find something to laugh about or someone to laugh with. When you laugh, you release a happy hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that uplifts us as we share experiences with others.

Remember: Even making yourself smile will put you in a better place.

5. Positive Vibes

Don’t waste your time on negative energy. Try to focus on the positive things in life and be grateful for these. Before you go to bed, think of three things that you’re grateful for. Try to make them as specific as possible.

You may think that this is some hippie bullshit, but the fact is: A grateful mindset and positive vibes boost your mood and keep you motivated.

6. Avoid Regrets

As mentioned before, you should try to avoid wasting your time on negative energy. Yes, we all make mistakes in life. That’s part of being a human. Learn to forgive yourself and others and move on. However, you can avoid making huge mistakes by thinking twice about stuff before doing it 😉
