3 Tips to Make Your Life Happier Today
If you’re looking for a few concrete ways to boost happiness, you’ve come to the right place. These three ideas are simple, easy to do, and certain to make you happier almost immediately.
We all want to be happy, and the ways we find happiness can be as unique as we are. But there are a few tried-and-true ways to be happier that don’t involve dream jobs, fantasy vacations, or mythical love interests.
What I’ve listed here are things you can do, regardless of other circumstances in your life, to get a boost of happiness.
Unplug daily
There’s a reason this tip is offered all the time: it’s effective. Social media and cell phones make us constantly accessible, and that’s not a good thing. It’s great to know your kids can reach you anytime, but not your boss or a client.
Unplug every day. Even if it’s just for an hour or so, make yourself unavailable to anyone who isn’t in your physical presence. Give yourself room to breathe without worrying that someone will call, text, instant message, or otherwise demand your attention right this very second.
But don’t just unplug from being contacted.
