Let's face it, life can be more hectic than fun. Between work, school, extracurriculars, or whatever else is going on, not many people take time to focus on themselves. Here are 11 simple ways to make yourself happier and to improve your well being. Enjoy!
1. Don't sleep in past 9 o'clock.
When you sleep in late, not only do you waste the day, but you're also groggy and in a bad mood. Waking up earlier allows you to use more hours in the day for activities.
2. Worry less about others.
Worrying about other people is a common thing that most people do. However, it's not always the best option. Especially if they are just adding unnecessary stress to your life.
3. Make a good playlist.
Listen to it while cleaning, doing laundry, or crafting. And maybe even plug in the aux cord and listen while driving. Good music = good vibes.
4. Take care of plants.
Cacti and succulents are both beautiful, and fairly easy to take care of. They are really good at cheering you up and it's exciting to watch them grow.
5. Update your wardrobe.
Sometimes slipping into some new clothes can make you feel like a whole new person.
6. Buy yourself some new makeup.
Because sometimes being happy is as simple as a new lipstick color. Well, being Blair Waldorf would help too, but let's try for something more realistic here.
7. Binge watch a show on Netflix.
You know that new show you just added to your list that you just haven't had time to get to? Go ahead and watch it. It'll be nice to avoid some responsibilities for a while.
8. Travel.
Go to New York City. Go to the desert. Go to Europe. Anything is possible, and the experiences will be priceless.
9. Start writing.
Write, and be proud of it. Even if nobody will ever see it, it's something you created and can even be a stress reliever. If Nick can do it, so can you.
10. Spend time outside.
Being outside in the sun, even if you're just trying to get a tan, will release endorphins which make you feel better. Just make sure you flip.
11. Spend time with good friends.
Because all anyone really needs is some quality time with people that love them. Hanging out with friends is a great way to cheer up while catching up.
