LAUGHING AND 6 OTHER THINGS TO KEEP YOU HAPPY AND HEALTHY EVERY DAY



Laugh

Laughter is not only the best medicine, but it is one which you don’t need health insurance for and doesn’t require a trip to the drugstore. Laughter eases stress, reduces anxiety, improves your mood, takes your mind away from your troubles, and may even improve your resistance to disease. It is no accident that laughter is used in cancer treatment wards. It works wonders.

If you don’t find anything to laugh about you need to dedicate thirty minutes each day to watch a sitcom or part of a funny movie. I don’t care if it’s a dumb show or movie. As long as it makes you laugh, it’s good enough for me.

Change

This is how you move your life forward from what it is right now to what you want it to be. You change things for the better.

Each day, choose one thing which you want to improve upon, get rid of, or add to your life, your habits or your routine. Make one positive change each day. These can be small changes or big ones. As long as you keep changing things for the better, it doesn’t matter. Your life will improve tremendously.

Sleep

If you want to have energy to do the things you love you must give your body the rest it needs. You need to sleep sufficiently.

In today’s world we’re always looking for more free time to do the things we love. Sleep often seems like a nuisance, something that you want to do less of. However, sleep is crucial to your health. The health benefits of sleep are far-reaching. Sleep affects you mentally and physically, it is required for normal and healthy function and even plays a dominant role in any diet process. Don’t try to avoid sleep. It is one of the healthiest activities you should do.

Move

Your body thrives on movement. Moving keeps your muscles strong and helps you lose weight. I’m not just talking about exercising, but also non-exercise activities like gardening, playing with your kids or mowing the lawn. Sitting down all day is unhealthy and doesn’t allow you to fully experience life. To do that you need to Move.

Relax

Take some time to escape from the hectic nature of today’s existence and just relax. Sleeping is not enough. You need to have some relaxed waking time. This allows you to think clearly without being encumbered by all the obligations and distractions of your life. You can plan your future in calm way and also allow your body to unwind. Let the stress evaporate and you will find that you feel better, become more productive, and have more energy.

Take a few moments to meditate each morning, read a book with no noise around you, do some yoga. Just relax.

Love

This is really what makes the world go ’round. Love, whether for your spouse, your kids, your dog, your folks, or whatever, is what turns you into a better human being, what fills your life with purpose, what gives you energy and the will to succeed and be the best you can possible be. It is this incredible emotion that makes us into what we are. No life is complete without it.

Love is not just an emotion, it is a verb. We need to actively love the people in our life every single day. Spending time, investing energy, giving attention to them. This is what active love is. It’s not just good for them, but also for you.

People who love are less lonely, less moody, more positive. They have support systems to fall on if the need arises. They have someone to motivate them, to believe in them. Love makes the impossible possible and the difficult simple. Love actively and you will be happy.

These 7 verbs are not just words. They are ACTIONS you must take to make you happier and healthier. So, take ACTION. Do these 7 verbs every day and do them a lot. You will be shocked by how good they make you feel
