Happiness and health are intertwined, so centering on both will help you embrace a more positive, fulfilling, and balanced life. Medicare Plus shares the following ways to help you build a happier and healthier disposition.
Choosing to be thankful is a great way to boost your happiness. People who cultivate gratitude in their lives recognize and appreciate the good things that they have, including their health. Thus, thankful people are more likely to eat better, exercise more, and take better care of their health. Gratitude also promotes positive emotions, lifts self-esteem, and makes a person more optimistic.
A rewarding way to practice gratitude is by keeping a Gratitude Journal. A study claims that this life-affirming habit can be a great stress reliever. It’s easy to do and only takes a few minutes each day. You can reflect at the end of each day and write three items that you are grateful for in your journal. Happy writing!
When you’re in love, dopamine (the “happy hormone”) is active. This is why people who are in love often feel extremely positive. “Kilig” brings “butterflies in your stomach” and a pleasant kind of chill when you’re attracted to someone. This feeling is usually strong during the early phase of a romance or the honeymoon stage of the relationship. The force of the magnetism might plateau after years of being together but it doesn’t mean that it’s gone. Keeping this sensation alive can uplift the spirit, increase your energy, and motivate you to become a better version of yourself. One way to keep the spark burning is by maintaining the connection so you don’t drift apart. How about starting with a weekly date night? Whether it’s a nice dinner in a restaurant, a movie date, or a cozy night in, spending quality time regularly can strengthen your bond. Why not level it up by planning a weekend getaway once a month?
Whether it’s a simple “tampuhan” with your spouse or a long-time resentment towards a friend, colleague, or family member, emotional baggage can affect your physical and mental health. Hurt, disappointment, and anger can have a negative impact on your well-being. Research shows that chronic anger can cause changes in a person’s blood pressure, heart rate, and immune response. These alterations can increase the risk of certain conditions such as heart disease and depression. The same study claims that forgiveness helps calm stress levels, lowers the risk of heart attack, and reduces levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Keep in mind that forgiveness is always a choice. It doesn’t only involve forgiving the person who wronged you but also forgiving yourself. Making this decision will help relieve you of the heavy burden.
Did you know that your thoughts can affect your health? It’s because your body responds to the way you feel, think, and act. Focusing on the negative things and emotions zaps your energy, encourages feelings of sadness, and causes stress or anxiety. When you have poor emotional health, it doesn’t only affect your mental health but it can also weaken your body’s immune system.
If you want to follow the path to improved health, stop dwelling on the negative and learn how to accept change, keep things in perspective, and focus on the more positive side of things. Calming your body and mind through relaxation methods such as listening to soothing music, meditation, yoga, and journaling can help nurture positive thoughts.
When you set goals, consider the things you want to achieve and commit to them. It’s best to start with small goals that are more attainable and easier to accomplish. Plan how you will achieve them and set a timeframe. For bigger goals, it helps to break them down into smaller steps. Make it a point to celebrate every small win to bolster your confidence and sense of happiness.
Finding happiness may vary from person to person but these tips can guide you towards attaining a happier and healthier YOU.
