How To Live A Whole Healthy Happy Life

By Joyce Edwards


Aristotle said that the ultimate pursuit for every human being is happiness. However, it still remains one of the most elusive experiences. Further, happiness for one person might not be similar to what another person perceives it to be. How can you live a whole healthy happy life regardless of your social, political, spiritual or financial position?

Cultivate inner peace. If the heart is not at peace, there will be no way of radiating the same to others. This requires the resolution of pains and anxieties that you have been living with. Be at peace with institutions, own body, family, friends and all aspects of your life. This offloads a huge burden off your heart and ushers you into a transformational life.

Make attempt to be social. Share in the happiness of other people. Let them join you when you are celebrating. This takes your mind off stressful thoughts. It also helps you to build beautiful memories with people around you. Share your concerns and anxieties with family members, friends and persons within your circles. A social person lightens his or her burden of life by sharing it with other people.

Adapt a different path in your existence. Develop a new routine instead of waking up every day and doing the same thing you are used to. Routines can be boring and even tiring, regardless of how plush they feel. Look for new people, places and activities. You will awaken a part of you that you never thought existed. You also engage all your senses in different experiences.

Explore your spirituality. This is not for everybody but the few who explore the possibility have gotten excellent rewards. Begin by attending religious or spiritual activities. Over time you begin to offer your time and skills. This commitment and the engagements that come with it make you a happier person. You begin to work and think of other entities beyond yourself. Your life becomes about the bigger picture.

Exercise the body, mind, soul and all aspects of your life. Physical exercise makes you happier through a manageable body. Do not target advanced programs, equipment and coaches. You only need light exercises like walking or lifting items around the house. Go to the park and appreciate what nature has to offer. The exercises should extend to the mind and soul.

Declutter your life. This ranges from physical, mental and social being. Clean your house and organize it. Think clean and good thoughts that will help you become a better person or improve your status. Drop friends and relations that are not adding any value in your existence. You will realize that you have more time and resources for more meaningful engagements. Avoid emotional baggage and happiness will be your portion.

Take care of your body and be ready to pamper it. An aching body or a person who is hungry will never be happy. Choose your foods wisely, take time off to relax and go on vacation as well as avoid taking too many responsibilities that you have no time to care for yourself. Happiness is a combination of factors and has to be pursued relentlessly.
