Stairway to Happiness — Cicle Health

Always Help

Reach out to someone who might need your help. See what you can do to make life easy for another; it could be saying something, just being around, or simply doing something relatively insignificant. What is clear, however, is that you will instantly feel better.

Be Grateful

There is always enough to feel good about. Practice the art of acknowledging all that you have and be grateful for it. Remember there are many who would have everything to feel good about if placed in your shoes.

Meditate

Even if it means a few minutes, immerse yourself in a no-thought-only-calm zone. Do this every day. Be it at the start of the day or towards its end, nothing quite like taking some time out to meditate and be in a world of your own.

Stop Worrying

Do not let your mental peace and health decline by worrying about things, people, or situations. Free yourself from worries by thinking clearly and planning better. Worrying won’t reverse a situation, acting upon it will.

Stay Focussed

Instead of worrying about all that isn’t, focus on what you wish to do and notice your energies lead you there.

Spend Time Outdoors

Take some time to walk, play or simply connect with nature around you. Be silent, notice a plant, hear the birds and absorb your surroundings. Feeling one with nature can supplement your well-being and give you a sense of joy that is unparalleled.

Put On Some Music

The best company you can have when nothing else looks better is music. Be it classical notes, relaxing reggae music, or simply the piano, there’s little else that matches up when all you wish to do is relax, unwind and enjoy your own company.

Be Genuine

One of the best ways to feel good and satisfied is to be genuine in your dealings, and in all that you say and do. Saying what you mean and doing what you say goes a long way in establishing your rapport and reputation as a dependable person. Also, there’s no replacement for a genuine word or action.

Find Courage

If feeling empowered and in charge is some definition of happiness, find the courage to stand up and speak for yourself wherever necessary. Have the strength to say it like it is without ruining another’s mood or stepping on their comfort.

Learn To Move On

It may not seem easy to disconnect from something you may have had around for a long. However, realizing everything has its time and space in your world until the new embraces you or that you need to move away from your comfort zone, is vital. Consciously practice looking ahead, not behind.
