posted on February 23, 2018

These 13 tips will make you happier. You'll enjoy your life and live well if you do these 13 things.

Have Realistic Expectations

Your life will have ups and downs. If you expect everything to always be easy, you'll be disappointed. Instead, expect some problems -- when they come, you'll have less trouble dealing with them

Don't Use the Word "Should"

When you say or think things should be this way or that way, you put pressure on yourself and others. This pressure usually accomplishes nothing.

Remember: Negative Thoughts Aren't True

Don't believe what they tell you.

Be Grateful

People who appreciate what they have are almost always happier.

Go to Therapy

Even if you don't think you need it. Mentally healthy people can benefit from therapy. It's not just for people with psychological issues.

Leave Work at Work and Home at Home

Don't worry about one place while you're at the other. Focus on where you are.

Put Your Phone Down!

Or at least don't use it too much. Studies have found the more you whittle time away on social media and texting, the less happy you're likely to be.

Friendship is Very Important

Make sure you keep up with your friends. They're not a luxury -- they're one of the keys to a happy life!

Plan Ahead

Plan both short and long term. Don't forget to include some short term pleasures in your plans.

Treat Yourself Well

Be kind and gentle with yourself -- especially in the way you talk to yourself.

Keep Yourself Healthy

People who take care of their bodies are almost always happier.

Remind Yourself Everything is OK

Do it several times each day. Your brain will eventually get the message and you'll feel better.

Take Care of Your Mental Health

Your mental health is very important. It requires care and maintance, just like your physical health.
