Life is short and we never know when it will be our last day, so my motto is and has always been to live your life to the fullest. This is why I focus so much on happiness – isn’t that what life should be all about? I believe so. I get a lot of questions about why I write about travel so much and the answer is simple: travel brings me joy and that is what I am constantly in search of.
Many people struggle with focusing on happiness and I get it. You go through your busy day that is filled with work, bills, struggles, and negative people and it is easy to get brought down, but I believe that we should work each and everyday to rise above the hard things, the negativity, and the stress in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel and choose to have a great day, no matter what. If you focus on that each and everyday, you will begin to really enjoy life and learn to live it to the fullest. I have a few things that I do each and everyday that brings more happiness into my life and I wanted to share it with you all. Here are my best tips on things you can do to live your life to the fullest:
Not Caring About What Others Think
It is so easy to fall into the trap of caring what people think about you, especially with social media being the center of the universe right now. Sometimes I observe people who are actively going through their Instagram or Facebook feed just to talk about others lives. What they are wearing, who they are with, how much weight they gained while they were pregnant, etc. Why do we do this to ourselves? All this does is bring negativity into our lives and opens the book to allow other people in your life to judge, as well. Stop judging others and stop caring about what others think about you. You will be so much happier when the only person you are trying to impress is yourself!
Doing What You Love
Life is too short to be stuck in a 9-5 job that you hate. Yes, going out on your own and doing what you love could be risky and stressful, but what happens if it works out? It could change your happiness forever and I believe that (in most circumstances) that is a risk that I would be willing to take. Even if you do not go off on your own, make sure you are in a job that you are really passionate about. Travel, if that makes you happy. Start a family, if that’s what you want. Just focus on your happiness, no matter what.
Treating People With Kindness
Inc. says, “Treat everyone with kindness–not because they are kind hearted, but because you are. One of the greatest gifts we can give another is kindness. If someone is in need, lend a helping hand. Don’t do it only for the people you like and respect–that’s easy–but also for the ones who drive you crazy and those you don’t even know. True kindness lies in the act of giving without the expectation of getting something in return.” You never know what someone might be going through, so please just suck it up and treat everyone with kindness.
Documenting Your Happiness
A great way to be intentional with your time is by documenting your day and your happiness. Write down a few things that you enjoyed that day, talk about how you can make the next day better, and if something didn’t go the way you wanted it to, try to find a silver lining.
Giving When You Can
I believe that giving is a great way to make each and everyday more positive. You cannot find anything negative about helping someone in need, seeing a smile on their face, and doing good in your community. It just puts a positive spin on your day, no matter what. Try to volunteer your time, donate when you can, and help others out!
Maintaining A Healthy Body
To live your life to the fullest, you need to create a strong, healthy foundation for yourself and the only way you can do this is by taking care of your body. Respect your body by eating healthy, working out, and finding help when you need it. A lot of people in this world do not get to do the things they love because they are dealing with debilitating pain on a daily basis. If this is you, get help so that you can enjoy your life!
