Effective HappinessInducing Ideas

By Aaron Harden

They say that the secret of life is to be happy. Many people believe that this is more important than anything else. What you accomplish, how you live, and anything else mean virtually nothing if you're not happy with it.

However you live your life, what's important is that you feel good about it and stay that way. This may sound impossible to achieve, but I have three pieces of advice I'd like to share with you to help you on your way.

The first recommendation is to get into a regular exercise routine. Some of us shy away from exercise because it seems like too much effort, but it's actually the quickest route to feeling happy.

Exercise causes the release of chemically induced hormones, known as endorphins, into the body. These have the effect of making you feel good. So, exercise regularly and you will maintain your happiness.

Another thing that you should do is to find a hobby that you enjoy. No matter what it may be, studies show that when we're occupied with hobbies, our minds are stimulated and we're in good spirits.

Severely depressed people have been known to feel better during time spent on their hobbies. These occasions give them a complete break from the outside world and the anxiety it entails.

The last thing that I'd suggest tweaking is your diet. They say that you are what you eat, and there are certain foods that simply lead to diminished spirits. Foods high in sugar are most responsible for these feelings, and you should definitely try to avoid as many of these foods as you can.

On the other hand, eating more unrefined foods such as fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals will boost your organism with vital nutrients that make you feel good. Why not test the theory out for the next few weeks? If you're prepared to put in the effort, I'm sure you'll see the benefits. - 31877
