Suggestions for a Happier Life
Our research would suggest that there are many things individuals could focus on to enhance their happiness in life. In the first instance we would recommend that they develop a clearer understanding of what it is that is making them unhappy - try completing the questionnaire. If there are any significant unhappiness factors present in your life we would recommend focussing on these first. To move beyond these, our suggestions are as follows:
-
Try to regain a balance in your life - make sure you have enough time in your life dedicated to your family, your friends & yourself.
-
Invest in your close relationships - put some effort back into your close relationships. It's not important that you have countless friends, but that you have close, trusting relationships.
-
Make the most of your holidays - use them to fulfill your interests and hobbies, challenge yourself to meet new people and break out of established patterns.
-
Immerse yourself in the moment - whether on holiday or walking to work, try to forget about past or future temporarily and immerse yourself in that moment.
-
Exercise & rest! - don't compromise, but make sure you have time for exercise and rest in your life.
Set yourself a challenge - remind yourself what it felt like to be stretched and have a clear purpose.
