Get Happy Quickly? – Impossible, you may say. Well there are ways of getting yourself to a happier state quickly.
When you feel down and in the dumps, for whatever reason: eg. maybe you’ve had a traumatic event like a death in the family, or a break-up from a loved one, or you lost your job, or just plain fed-up because of the weather. What happens is that our serotonin levels in our bodies reduce themselves to lower levels and can make us feel unhappy. Serotonin is a natural chemical that we have in our body that contributes to our feelings of happiness and well-being.
Get Happy Quickly – by increasing your Serotonin Levels naturally.
To increase the serotonin levels in my body, I do the following things below. I do them regularly throughout the year so I don’t have to wait to feel blue before I start to implement them.
- I keep a close circle of friends that are happy and content in their lives. They are not negative thinking and they do not pass on any pessimistic thoughts to me. I minimise my contact with people who don’t see the bright side of life and all they do is complain a lot.
- I exercise often, even doing something small like a brisk walk to the shops and back. This gets the oxygen circulating in my body and increases my heart beat. I do find that exercise of all kinds is very helpful to raising serotonin levels in my body. Swimming and being in contact with water is excellent to get happy quickly too.
- I eat healthy foods and drink delicious smoothies during the day. I choose not to get hooked on the carbohydrates fix, so I avoid foods like high sugary ones, fizzy drinks and caffeine.
- I laugh a lot, so I go out of my way to find things that make me laugh! Maybe it could be a conversation on the phone with a close friend, a comedy programme on the TV, a Salsa Dancing Class, watching silly videos on YouTube, do Karaoke, or singing out loud in the shower, many more things too. There are ‘Laughter Classes’ available now in most big cities, through the Yoga Centres, do look them up in your area. It will be worth it!
- I am a hugger, I love hugging people and I love receiving hugs back! It’s a natural thing for me and it helps me to get happy quickly. I found out recently, that hugging and a healthy s sex life, increases the Oxytocin levels in our bodies too. Oxytocin is the chemical that evokes feelings of contentment, reduces anxiety, and creates a feeling of calmness and security around us. This helps us to get happy quickly and not to feel sad and alone.
- I have positive thoughts all day long and don’t allow fear and negativity to take control of my mind. I think thoughts like, I have the right to be happy. I choose to be happy, it is my choice. I choose not to be sad, unhappy, alone, or unloved. I love myself and I forgive myself for any sadness and upset. I am full, complete and perfect and there is nothing missing. I’m fully in charge of my life. I focus my thoughts in the present, here and now. I get happy quickly within seconds of deciding that’s what I am. Happy!
- I listen to music that is uplifting and emotive. I go to live concerts, musicals, gigs, so the music takes me away into the atmosphere of happiness and fun.
- I meditate for at least 10 minutes every morning (minimum). This helps me very much to see what kind of thoughts are in my head. I clear my thoughts and go deep inside myself and this gets me in touch with what is really going on.
- I joined some local groups and associations. I participate in activities that have built my network, so now these groups are a place that I am able to go to on my own, I feel safe and I feel connected, as we are all on the same wavelength. For example, I have joined the Property Investing Groups in my area, the Entrepreneurs and Business Meet Up group, I do Salsa Dancing Classes regularly (Miracles happen here! I would HIGHLY recommend!), I play CashFlow 101 Games in groups of people and they have interesting speakers at these events. These are great ways to Get Happy Quickly!
These are just some of the practices that I do every day. I encourage you to choose at least two from this list and incorporate them into your daily routine. This will definitely help you to raise the Serotonin levels in your body and you will get happy quickly without doubt. I encourage you to do it now. Take on 2 of the above immediately and start to get the life want right now. Do it now, stop everything you are doing and do it now!
With Love,
Maria Allegria
