In a hustling, fast-paced world we live in, majority of us let stress get the best of us. In rather anxious state of minds, people search for contentment and happiness in their busy lives.
However, the secret to happiness lies within one’s self. Generally, people living rather happier lives are the ones who practice certain habits and surprisingly, they are sometimes unconscious actions.
And these habits are not exclusive to certain type of people, with intention and awareness, anyone can adopt them.
The idea of an mindful morning is to not rush into starting the day but rather taking out the time to greet it with full awareness, setting a positive note for the rest of the day.
Take a pause, breathe, and start off the day with some yoga, reading a good book or having a cup of coffee in silence.
Gratitude plays a significant role in feeling happy and content. Happy individuals usually have a habit of practicing thankfulness for all that they have instead of focusing on what they lack. These people realize and embrace the fact that life isn’t always perfect.
By keeping pride and ego in check, a person remains humble in their achievements and remain passionate about making a difference in the world. They maintain a balance between impact and ego as they strive to make a change in society but don’t let self-importance cloud their judgement.
Much of the turmoil we hold within ourselves is due to the fact that we hold onto memories without accepting the situations that led to them. Happy people understand the concept of acceptance, realizing that change is inevitable, for the better or worse.
It is a universal practice that keeps the heart of an individual soft enough to remain empathetic towards others. Individuals who are compassionate understand that the world needs acts of kindness to make it a little better.
In the end, realizing that not only others but your own self also deserves compassion from you, plays wonders in the overall maintenance of health as a person starts taking care of their life when they adopt not only compassion but all qualities that keep a person content and at peace.
