We all have times that we feel depressed and feel like nothing is going right. The way most people cope with their stress and depression is by doing things that make them happy. Sometimes people will forget what makes their life great. I know that sounds bad, but most of us are highly privileged and should appreciate the little things that make everyday life better.
10. You are breathing and alive.
Yes I know that sounds pretty obvious, but there are some individuals that are struggling to even do that.
9. You have a higher chance of being healthier when happy.
There is much research to back up that happier individuals are healthier. Appreciate the fact that you can improve your attitude by just smiling.
8. The sun will come out tomorrow.
I know this is a cheesy statement, but it is true. The truth is that no matter how many dark nights you may have, there will be some sunshine the next day.
7. Notice the love surrounding you!
Many people are caring in this world. Most people will be there for you. Good peope still exist. If you ever need someone to talk to, the resources of finding that person is always within your reach.
6. Be thankful you have access to clean water and food.
This may seem to surprise some younger individuals, but not everyone in this world has this. Be grateful for what you have.
5. There are people that care about you!
We all have someone in our lives such as parents, siblings, partners, and even friend that deeply cherish us. Don't let one bad moment let you forget that you will always have them in your life.
4. Something called chocolate exists.
Enough said.
3. For most, people can see color.
Color brings happiness and it brings new ideas to the world.
2. PETS!!!
Animals are always a great way to remember that you will always have some form of love in your life. Most people have some pet and they will always show affection for you.
1. There is always another chance!
Even if you messed up today, there will always be a tomorrow to fix the problem!
The moral of the listicle is to realize that you don't always need to eat ice cream and binge watch movies when something goes wrong. We all experience the days where nothing is going right. Be strong and remember all the reasons why you should be happy. Smile and move on to the next day! I promise the next day will be much more rewarding!
