How To Be Happy On Your Own: Self improvement
1. Don’t Text Boys Just To Make Yourself Feel Better
Obviously this goes for any gender, but it’s important to not text others just to make yourself feel better.
Being happy while single, is all about being happy on your own. If you need to text someone romantically to feel happy, then that is not being happy on your own.
Of course this is SO MUCH easier said than done, but it truly NEEDS to be done. You absolutely cannot be happy on your own or happy single without doing this.Â
2. Start A Side Hustle!Â
If you spend time scrolling on social media (which you shouldn’t do after you read this post!), then you might develop the urge to start a side hustle.
This is exactly what happened to me. I was SO intrigued by people starting side businesses and thought why not me? So I took a change and decided to stop dreaming about it, and actually do it!
Now I’m here starting my blog, and have so many more ideas of what I can do. I am trying my best to start a side hustle, and it’s just as fun as it is hard! VERY!
Get out of your comfort zone and start that business that you’ve always dreamed of!Â
3. Read > Tiktok
Did you know one of the differences between wealthy and non-wealthy people, is that wealthy people read instead of watch TV?
My blog is NOT about being wealthy, as I believe there is SO MUCH more to life than money, but there is something to be said about this fact.
You truly gain SO MUCH more in reading than you do scrolling though Tiktok, binging Netflix, or watching that trashy reality TV show (my guilty pleasure).Â
How To Be Happy On Your Own: Connect to yourself
4. Go Outside For At Least 30 Minutes A Day!
It’s a known fact that vitamin D makes you happier, but until you’ve experienced this, you don’t truly understand how much this will transform your life.
Back when I was experiencing severe acne and stomach problems, my naturalist instructed that I take at least a 24 minute walk everyday, one minute for each hour of the day.
After doing this for about a month, I became OBSESSED. Without a doubt, this became my favorite part of the day and did wonders to my mental healthy my skin!
To truly connect with yourself, you NEED to go outside and WALK! Get that sunshine on you and start embracing the nature that we are meant for.
5. Meditate!!!!!
During my happiness journey, I was instructed to meditate. Since I LOVE yoga, I started doing yoga twice a week, and let me tell you.. AMAZING!!!
Meditating can come in all different forms. There’s yoga, praying, somatic therapy, guided meditation, and rosary just to name a few.
If you’ve never meditated before, five minutes will feel like an HOUR! But keep pushing through, because you each time you meditate it will feel more and more like just five minutes.
6. Connect To The Higher Power
If you are religious, or was once religious, tap into that. Similarly to meditating, connecting to the higher power will give you a peace of mind.
Unlike meditating, connecting to the higher power will give you a best friend. If you are feeling lonely, talking with God will give you someone who is always on your side.
Even if you don’t feel like they are on your side, the higher power knows more than you, hence the name higher power. And you just need to trust them.
