Learn to take care of your personal boundaries.
The personal boundaries of each person are a set of norms, morals, habits and values, the observance of which makes him happy and harmonious. Everyone needs psychological personal boundaries. You need to be able to say no to keep other people from crossing your boundaries.
Spend more time with your family and friends.
Spend more time with your friends. Such meetings are always filled with peace of mind. In a relaxed atmosphere, you can completely relax and be yourself.
Be generous.
When we help others, we often experience so-called supportive euphoria. The brain begins to produce endorphins that cause pleasure. This has a beneficial effect on the physical condition and prevents the development of inflammatory processes in the cardiovascular system. Compassion heals the heart and makes us happy.
Set goals.
Setting large or even small goals develops a person’s independent thinking. To achieve the desired results, you need to understand your goals and capabilities. Setting your own goals can improve your self-esteem. Each time you reach a new goal, you prove to yourself the ability to achieve what you aspire to. It strengthens your faith in yourself.
Answer the question “why do I live?”
To be happy, you need to think often about yourself, your values, goals, dreams and plans. Take the time to be alone, thinking about what is important at this stage of life.
Do not communicate with toxic people.
When a person finds people who support his dreams, life satisfaction increases significantly. Get rid of contact with toxic people. Choose to be close to the people with whom you will live comfortably. If someone is constantly spoiling your mood, decide not to communicate with that person and move on. Surround yourself with people who share your values and help you move forward.
Take care of your health.
Perform light exercises and do not get tired. You should have time for rest, work and active sports, which provide pleasure and harmony in life. So, find the type of fitness that benefits both body and soul. For example, go for a jog alone to clear your mind, or find a stretching studio near your home where you feel safe and physically comfortable.
Find time for hobbies.
Distract yourself from work and family affairs. It is very important that you have a creative activity that brings pleasure. Scientists have shown that hobbies can help us overcome sadness and depression and strengthen our self-confidence.
Do not seek happiness.
The paradox of happiness is that the conscious desire for it is fundamentally incompatible with the very nature of happiness. True happiness is deeds that are valuable to you in themselves. Finds joy in the beautiful nature and fresh air. Think about what you can be thankful for the past day. Just find positive moments in any difficult situation.
However, if you notice that you are not coping on your own, be sure to see a doctor or psychotherapist and take medications such as Apo-Clomipramine or Fluvoxin.
