8 Simple Attitudes That Will Make Your Life More Enjoyable

Being happy is a complicated task. As much as everything can be solved at first, there are days when things are not cool. For this we have separated 8 tips on how to take action to make your days more enjoyable and happy.

1. Take a walk

More for changing air, less for exercise. Walking around the neighborhood can be very relaxing and bring that injection with it. If you live in a region with few trees, it is interesting to go to a park, as there are studies showing that walking in such environments makes us more relaxed.

2. Exercises

By combining the above tip with a little more intense exercise, the chance of success is even greater. These days, we spend a lot of time standing, whether at work or at home, stuck to our smartphones. Not only is this not good for the body, it also impairs our mental health. Exercise causes our brain to raise the amounts of dopamine neurotransmitters, which regulate the sensation of pleasure, and norepinephrine, which have beneficial effects with regard to stress. Street racing is becoming increasingly popular, as seen in the picture above. Wouldn't it be time to start?

3. Sleep more

Do you remember your last good night's sleep? With the amount of screens and distractions around us, it's hard to always go to bed at the same time, but a good tip is to try to make bedtime a routine. A survey of 7, 000 people in the US showed that sleeping the recommended minimum hours, which is around 7 to 9 hours, makes the day more enjoyable overall.

4. Smile

Even if things are not good, forcing a smile can be beneficial. Several studies show that when people in stress or unhappiness force a smile, some of the tension is relieved. It may not be the salvation of your day, but a simple attitude can even start a pleasant and relaxing conversation.

5. Meditate

Had one of those days and a nervous wreck? Meditation may help ease tensions by making it easier to see the path of happiness. Performing this activity without custom can be tricky, but you can start a meditation routine to relax more easily. Many studies have shown that practicing meditation has many benefits for both body and mind, including stress relief and an increase in overall feeling of well-being.

6. Put the phone aside

Technology has changed the way we live, but this is not always a good thing. Constant notifications and the anxiety created by the need to always post your activities can cause much more stress than usual, not contributing to your happiness. Whether at home or during your walk in the park, try turning off phone notifications for a while. A survey of 2107 showed that the mere presence of cell phones at a family lunch causes distractions and diminishes interaction between people.

7. Help people

Thinking about yourself is important, but being generous is also necessary. There are several ways to do this: volunteering at charities, helping animal rescue organizations, or simply donating to someone in need, for example. Just as you can be generous to strangers, you can also stop postponing that visit to your grandmother's house to help her with the new phone. A survey done in 2017 showed that even small acts of generosity can make people happy, so the tip is that everyone can win.

8. Spend time with your dog or cat.

When you get home after a tiring day, you probably just think about throwing yourself on the couch lamenting the resumption of the process the next day. But have you ever thought about spending time with your pet? There are studies that prove the advantages of contact between humans and animals, but even without them we know how much this contact makes us happier. If you have a cat, the option is to have him on the couch watching something very relaxing, but if you have a dog, try walking with him. It's a great interaction that sure benefits both sides.

Collective tour with the guys. Love!
