Everyone have his/her own vision about happiness. One can take is as being at a peace with who he/she is. A secure network of friends is also a sign of a happier life along with the freedom of pursuing your inmost dreams.

Whatever is your version of true happiness, living a happier, and satisfied life is still within your control. A positive change in your regular habits can help you to live a happier life.

Here are some of the most important daily habits which you need to change for having the happier life.



1. Being grateful

Just being grateful can boost your mood a lot although you will have a lot of other advantages too. For instance, a recent two-part study explores that practicing gratitude can have a vivid impact on feelings of optimism and happiness.

Commence daily routine by acknowledging one thing you’re grateful for. This can be done while doing little daily routine like washing your face and hands in the morning.

You should continue recognizing the pleasant things in your daily life during the whole day work. They can be some actions done by others, for example, feeling that someone cares you a lot, either your colleague or your neighbor.



2. Have Sound Sleep:

Having a sound sleep will eventually lead you to be less sensitive to negative emotions. We should be aware that having a sound sleep helps our body to recover from the day  and we become more satisfied and productive. Sound sleep is also significant for a happier life.

Following are a few tips to help you build a sound sleep routine:

·        Stick to a sleep schedule, means that going to bed and waking up at some particular time daily, including weekends will make you feel good.

  • Reserve 30 minutes before bed as quiet time. Taking a bath, reading, or do something relaxing.
  • Do not take heavy meal or drink more water just before sleeping.
  • Manage dim light in your bedroom and keep it cool and quiet. It all means creating a restful environment.
  • Comfortable bedding is also helpful to have sound sleep.
  • You should limit your day time nap. No long nap but it may be of 30 minutes.

·         Include physical activity in your daily routine i.e. regular physical activity can help you to have better sleep. But it does not mean that you remain active too close to bedtime.

·         Remain busy and spending time outside every day might be helpful for sound sleep.

3. Have fun with Friends/Family

Having fun with friends and family is one of the top five regrets of the dying. If you need even more evidence that time with friends is helpful for you, research proves it can turn you happier right now. Our happiness depends on much of the social time, even for introverts. Time spent with friends and family for fun makes a big difference to how happy we feel.

4. Give a compliment

Kindness can turn you more satisfied as the research shows that Acts of Kindness and Acts of Novelty Affect Life Satisfaction. Giving an honest compliment is a quick, simple way to brighten someone’s day while increasing your own happiness as well.

When you offer someone a compliment on physical appearance, ensure doing it in a humble way. It will give you pleasure and that pleasure will make you satisfied. A satisfied person always has sound sleep.

5. Turn off your phone

Turn off not only your phone but also all the electronics when you want to have a rest. Let your mind stroll free for a change but you can read or meditate still.

Do not put your phone near your pillow but place at a distance to avoid distraction.

6. Help Others regardless of how much you can:

Helping others is always a joy, I have a firm belief and like this idea so much that I created with this name The Helping Hand back in 2004.

Although spending money on other people makes us happier than having stuff for ourselves. But the other option is about spending our time on other people in case you are not able to spend money on others.

A study of volunteering in Germany explored that most of the volunteers were affected very much when their opportunities to help others were taken away. Their level of pleasure reduced as a result.

7. Be Innovative and Creative.

Do live in the past but be innovative one. Sometimes, artists become moody and depressed, but studies show that engaging in creative activities on a constant basis really makes you happier. By spending time using the imagination and being innovative and creative have more passion. It provides you feelings of long-term happiness. Writing, painting, drawing, gardening and musical performance can make you more innovative and creative.

8. Enjoy yourself.

Feeling bored in life routine prevents you to feel happy. Stimulation is the part of feeling happier in life so be stimulated and enjoy with yourself. Sometimes, surprise yourself by establishing goals outside your comfort zone. Never hesitate about new or unexpected situations. Riding a bicycle is a joy one is young and remember to enjoy the ride of your choice either it is a bike or a shuttle service.

9. Stop worrying.

You will face the toxic anxiety if worrying about everything constantly which creates negative thoughts in your mind. You become afraid of even those things over which you not have control. Worry less live more is golden proverb to keep in mind.

10. Do what you love.

Placing this point in the end but still it should be taken as the first and the foremost one. Hating your job can never make you happy. If you don’t enjoy your job, you are just wasting your life. Just explore what are you interested in? What are you truly zealous about? Building a career in an area that motivates you will provide you satisfaction, and your pleasure will increase exponentially.
