Three Ways to Feel Happy

Ever felt the Monday blues? When you just wake up and feel that extreme loathe of what you need to do, be it work, school or chores, there are always ways to inject some joy back into your life.

1. Look Forward to Something

As a child, I had always found it easier to pass the day when I knew that I could go home and switch on my favorite game after school. Looking forward always beats looking at the present situation and complaining. When you walk, you do not look down on the ground before you and bump into obstacles – you lift your head up and look forward.

After awhile, I started to comfort myself with happy thoughts and looking on the bright side – I have a good family, friends, and a God that cares. Upon reaching home, I was feeling much better. Remember to count you blessings – it works much better than counting sheep.

3. Recognize When Enough is Enough

Many do not realize it, but sometimes, the reason we are unhappy or fatigued is because we are striving for too much in too little time. Go out for a party with your friends!

Those three suggestions above are just what they are – suggestions. The main thing here is to think positive no matter what situation you are in. Believe me, that can be applied anywhere from trivial matters such as losing a pencil to life and death situations. With such a value, Monday blues should not be a problem; For Monday at least…
