Yip, that’s right…. My New Year’s Resolution is quite simply, continue to be happy!
How do I do it?
1) Count my blessings:
Take a few mins a day to just appreciate what is around me and be grateful… my family, friends… I’ve seen so many people who never seem happy! I mean, these days, people are more healthier, wealthier and live longer – so what on earth are they unhappy about?!?!? Ummmm
2) Be simple and don’t think of the meaningless things!!!:
In this day and age, we’re always pre-occupied with the hustle and bustle of life, that we get stressed out and neglect the more important things in life… We should take a step back and look at the bigger picture…. Why are we rushing? Why are we complaining? We often complain about what we don’t have and forget about what we DO have… Life used to be simple when we were kids, when we had the basics…. I still remember when mum couldn’t drive and she would take us to school…how? by riding her bicycle on the pavement with my youngest sister on the bike and the rest of us sisters running behind her!!! It was so fun! We should be simple…. in our minds and materials…. cos then we wouldn’t keep complaining!!! Take pleasure in the simple tasks.
3) Exercise more:
To increase happy endorphins and to stay healthy
4) Set realistic goals:
This is much better than setting them too high and not achieving it, or not setting any goals at all!
5) Admit mistakes:
Nobody is perfect. Life is far too complicated and stressful when you have to be the “best”, be “perfect”, be “always right” and worry about losing face. So don’t be to hard on yourself and others.
6) Don’t try too hard for happiness:
Like love – if its meant to be, it will be!
