Give your day a happiness boost
Do you ever have those days where things aren’t going your way or could do with a little extra ‘oomph’? Here are a few top tips for happiness, courtesy of Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne.
Perk up your day 1: Sweat
We all know that physical activity is good for us but we don’t always think about it making us happier. Although exercise can feel like hard work, the rush of hormones that follow it actually play a role in our positive state of mind.
If you can find the energy to do some form of physical activity such as running, walking or even dancing around the house, those positive hormones – known as endorphins – will start flowing. Once you’ve finished your exercise and got your breath back, you should feel a boost in your state of mind. Try it!
Perk up your day 2: A nice gesture
One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to do something nice for someone else. Why not give someone a cuddle or make tea for a loved one? That warm fuzzy feeling that stems from seeing someone else happy because of you is contagious. Giving back to the world in some way, big or small, is enough to make life that little bit brighter.
Perk up your day 3: Have quiet time
If you’re feeling moody, take yourself out of all social situations and take a few long, deep breaths. By the time you’ve had a little time away from people and calmed down, a problem rarely seems as bad. Then you can begin the process of working towards a solution to your problem or boosting your mood.
Perk up your day 4: Wake up a few minutes earlier
Rather than rushing around the house in a panic, set your alarm 15 minutes earlier in the morning so you can get up and ready at a leisurely pace. Rushing may energise us but it can often cause stress and add unnecessary pressure during the course of the day. From an important business meeting to a trip to your chiropractor, aim to leave more time than you need and arrive at your destination early. That way you’ll feel more prepared and relaxed.
Perk up your day 5: Have a warm bath or shower
Baths and showers are proven to have healing effects as they make us feel like our worries are washing away. Instead of hopping in and out of the shower, make time for a relaxing bubble bath. Even if it only lasts for 15 minutes, you’ll feel much better after it. The heat of a bath or shower is also great for loosening those muscles and looking after your body.
