Now You Can Have A Great 2008 5 Ways To Make It Even Better
Count your blessings
This is certainly the advice of Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard University psychologist, who has written a self-help book (Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment) detailing some simple ways to make your life happier. He advices to focus on the positive: take a couple of minutes a day to think about all the things we should be grateful for, starting with our health and that of our family and friends.
Simplify Your Life
Tal Ben-Shahar also points out that many of us feel so unhappy because out lives are cluttered with unnecessary chores. So turn off your mobile phone, only check your emails twice a day (max), go for a walk or just do nothing!
Take Exercise
Are we too physically idle? Just 30 minutes of exercise 3 or 4 times a week is enough to lift your spirits.
Take Pleasure In Simple Tasks
Do you get a sense of satisfaction when you complete something? Maybe a puzzle, a crossword, making a lavish dinner. Do something simple and take pleasure from it.
Set Realistic Goals
Setting realistic goals is far better than not setting any at all or wanting to climb Mount Everest. Make small goals, take small steps to achieve them, achieve them, praise yourself and celebrate, then set some more small goals
Try the five ideas and see if they make a difference.
