They say that in order to enjoy life, you need to have a special mindset, perceive the world in a positive way and thank heaven for every day you live. Since most of us simply do not have the free time to go somewhere to the temple on the top of the mountain to find bliss, the best way to be happy is to make practical, everyday changes. If you understand that it is worth appreciating the people who surround you, and you can take the time to do what you love, then you will soon feel how happiness and satisfaction with life are born bit by bit from pleasant little things.

Steps

Improving emotional health

Get a pet. Pets are an inexhaustible source of love, communication and entertainment. In addition, pet owners are in good health, because thanks to their smaller brothers, the risk of cardiovascular diseases and the development of hypertension is reduced. Moreover, having a pet contributes to the acquisition of excellent qualities, such as empathy and the ability to care for others. A special bond develops between the owner and the pet, which only grows stronger over the years.

Adopt a pet from a local shelter. Thanks to this, you will be able to establish a warm connection with him.

Develop an interest in music. Music develops imagination and a sense of self, raises self-esteem and helps in the fight against loneliness. Music opens up great possibilities for us. Insert a disc with your favorite songs into the player, turn up the volume, and let nothing distract you from enjoying music. Thanks to this, you will be able to experience the full power of music.

Start the day with a smile. Our face is the mirror of the soul. Facial expression reveals the inner state of the soul or the content of our thoughts. Moreover, it is capable influence to our mood. Therefore, be sure to smile, thanks to which you will have a good mood. Greet yourself with a smile as you look at your reflection in the mirror. Your happy face can charge you with positivity for the whole day.

Take a break. This does not mean that you have to sit in front of a TV screen or hang out on the World Wide Web. It means putting things aside and doing something special. Take yourself a little vacation, a change of scenery, even if it's just a picnic in the backyard or building a fort in your living room with your kids. Take a break from the usual routine of your life and allow yourself, even for a short time, to break away from your work schedule. You will notice changes in your mood and sense of humor. In addition, a door with new opportunities will open in front of you.

Spend time with interesting people. People who have many friends live longer. As you know, "with whom you will lead - from that you will type." Therefore, friends have a huge influence on our behavior. Communicate with positive, interesting people, thanks to which your life will become brighter and richer.
- Do you keep putting off meeting an old friend? Call him today! If you can't reach him by phone, take some time to write him an email or a letter.
- Are you tired of an unhealthy relationship with your friend? If you turn a blind eye to his bad behavior, it will do neither you nor him good. Therefore, try to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether it is worth trying to talk honestly with a friend, or is it better to simply stop communicating with him.
- Do you find it difficult to meet new people? Get out of your comfort zone, go for a walk in new places, strike up conversations with strangers, discuss your new hobby, or even join a group of people whose interests are similar to yours.
Learn to manage stress if you can't remove stressors from your life. Think about whether you can remove the source of stress from your life? If yes, then take action! Very often, the cause of stress is related to our work, money or family. Of course, it is not easy to change jobs, but you can learn how to manage stress if it is associated with it.

Learn new things. Receipt higher education will increase your self-esteem and interest in life. However, this is not the only way to experience the world around you. Reading, traveling, engaging workshops, interesting lectures, and meeting people from other cultures can also teach us something new. Or take online courses to deepen your knowledge and hone your skills in your spare time. In the end, instead of giving up the opportunity to get new experience, accumulate it and expand your horizons. Remember, we have one life, and we need to live it interesting and fun.

Find a hobby. It doesn't matter if it's stamp collecting or kickboxing, the most important thing is that the hobby should be a source of joy and inspiration. You should not subordinate your life to a monotonous daily routine, spontaneity and surprise will bring bright colors to it. Do what you love to do because you enjoy doing it and because it helps you stay afloat. Do not devote time to your favorite pastime just because others do it or in order to meet generally accepted social standards.

Read good books. Of course, it is very easy to sit on the sofa in front of the TV screen in the evening. However, in this case, you will only be a passive observer, your imagination will not work, and when you turn off the TV, you will feel tired, as if you were a zombie, not a person. Choose a book that you enjoy reading. If you don't really like to read, try to approach this activity outside the box, perhaps you should look for special literature that will relate to your hobby: if you are into baseball, read Bill Wick's autobiography; if you are a biker, pick up the appropriate literature.
- Write down phrases that reflect your inner world. When you sit down to read, pick up not only a book, but also a notebook in which you will write down expressions that inspire you. After a while, you will accumulate a whole host of different phrases that will help you go towards your goals.
Practice meditation. Meditation reduces stress levels and helps you calm down. Dedicate a few minutes a day to meditation, thanks to this you will be able to relax and feel inner harmony. During meditation, watch your posture, and also make sure that nothing distracts you.

Improving physical health

Strengthen your immune system. Nobody feels happy when they are sick. Take a multivitamin, which includes vitamins C, E and A, selenium and beta-carotene, and this will positively affect the functioning of the immune system.

A strong immune system allows you to respond more effectively to stress or physical illness. In addition, exercise, rest as well as a healthy diet are essential for strengthening immunity.

Get exercise. Exercising stimulates the release of endorphins, the so-called happiness hormones. Regular exercise not only helps fight depression, anxiety and feelings of loneliness, but also strengthens the immune system. Even ordinary walking is directly related to the production of the optimal amount of antibodies to protect our body from various ailments.
Unfortunately, in the garden you can also find pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, wear gloves to protect your hands, especially if your or neighbor's cats use your garden as a toilet. Wash your hands thoroughly after working in the ground!

Eat right. It's no secret that healthy food (free of preservatives and dyes) is important for maintaining good health. In addition, cooking with fresh ingredients can give you an emotional charge: the dishes smell delicious and look appetizing. When you become an experienced cook, you will enjoy the process of cooking and be distracted from the daily hustle and bustle. In addition to the health benefits, cooking at home can save you a lot of money. If you are just taking your first steps in cooking, start with simple tried and tested recipes that will not discourage you from cooking. If possible, do not cook with processed food products. This is very important if you want to be healthy and happy.

Despite the fact that these tips are based on scientific theories about happiness, remember that the ability to enjoy life depends on ourselves. Happiness cannot be measured by anything, because everyone has their own idea of it. In other words, everyone is the blacksmith of his own happiness, which means that it is up to you to be happy or not to be.
Experiences are a useless waste of strength and energy. Instead of killing yourself and worrying, do something useful. If you are so exhausted that you have absolutely no desire to do anything, rest or take a nap, and with renewed vigor begin to solve your problems. You will feel much better when you fix the situation, rather than sitting and feeling sorry for yourself.
Use your imagination every day. Learn to think creatively and have fun doing it.
Look around you! If you do not feel pleasure from life, try to get rid of the negativity that may be present in it. Focus on what you love and also on the people who care about you.

Warnings

There is no single recipe for happiness. Read articles and improve. But you should not take everything that is written in them as the truth. If some of the tips did not help you, you should not engage in self-flagellation. Instead, find an alternative solution to your problems that works for you.

City cafe. Noon. An elderly couple is sitting at the next table. He and she. Not husband and wife, no. More like old acquaintances or friends.

They talk casually, flirt a little, drink coffee. Suddenly there is a phone call. Someone on the other end of the line asks him, "What are you doing?" And he: "Osim haim." I'm enjoying life.

I don’t solve problems, I don’t earn money, I don’t look for answers to questions, I don’t set goals and achieve them, I don’t lose weight, in the end, no! I just enjoy life.

This play on words literally bewitched me, and I realized that I also want to learn this "oshimu".

The first lesson was taught to me by the owner of the pet store, when I ran to him in the early morning for dog food. He had already opened his shop, but had not yet had time to wake up, so he slowly laid out his goods. Following a Moscow habit developed over the years, I began to explain that I needed it quickly and urgently.

To this, the owner of the shop took out a small rabbit from the cage and placed it in my hands. At that moment, I realized: so that's what you are - osim haim!

Time has stopped for me. I wanted to iron a fluffy warm lump for hours. And look, look spellbound at the unhurried work of the seller.

Then there were many other lessons, each of which brought me happiness.

For example, today I know exactly where the most delicious coffee is made in Tel Aviv.
The most delicious it is not because of the taste, no. It's just that such a bright audience gathers in this place with such amazing dogs! Watching this world while slowly drinking coffee is osim haim for me.

Or. I never knew that feeding a horse was a thrill. Tactile, soulful. Since childhood, I was afraid to approach them. But in Israel, at the stable, the mistress of beautiful horses with a smile suggested that I try to overcome fear by holding out an apple to the horse.

And so, opening wide a huge mouth with excellent teeth, he or she stretched out her muzzle to my trembling hand and very gently, only with wet lips and a warm, rough tongue, licked an apple from the palm of her hand. At this point, my words ended.

But the most main lesson I learned osim haim two years ago on the road.

It happened at the very moment when I covered my daughter with my body. Sonya and I were driving home in a car and heard a siren. It was the summer of 2014, there was Operation Protective Edge, and we came under rocket fire.

Following the instructions, I turned off the car, got the baby out of the car seat, laid her on the road and covered her with me. I still clearly remember the blast wave from the downed rocket that swept through my body, and my daughter's whisper: "Mom, you are going to crush me now." So tightly I "covered" her.

After this incident, the world around me played with completely different colors. And I finally truly understood what osim haim means: "enjoy life here and now!"

Wealth is not about what coat you wear, what car you drive, and what a cool phone you have in your hands. Wealth is living parents, healthy children, reliable friends and a strong shoulder of a loved one.

If you can see, walk, talk, love, and get out of bed every morning, you are a fabulously wealthy person.

Complaining about life, think about those who left it early. Complaining about your husband, imagine how many girls dream of getting married. When complaining about your naughty children, think of those who pray to God every day for their appearance. Apperciate things which you have.

We are born with a cry, we die with a groan. It remains only to live with laughter

The energy of pleasure is the most powerful way to feel the taste of life to the fullest! Can this be learned?

It often seems to us that our pleasure is in the hands of men. That's when He appears, then I will ... glow, radiate, enjoy, give myself, live my life ...

In fact, everything is exactly the opposite. First, it is important to learn how to enjoy, and then someone appears who appreciates it, who deserves to be around, who loves and for whom you are the best on Earth.

And here the question arises: how is it? How to enjoy? Can this be learned?

Can. And it's been long overdue!

In fact, this condition in a girl is born as early as 3 years old. Remember the little coquettes who love to dress up so much during this period, to please everyone (especially dad), who are spinning, dancing, we-please-yes-yes!

And this one can be remembered, revived, made its own quality. The attention of men and life will be guaranteed to you!

The energy of pleasure is the most powerful means of attracting people to yourself.

What is pleasure?

This is when every moment of your life you are included in what is happening to you right now. You don't live and do things automatically while you think about your past or future. You are here and now!

If you eat a banana, then you are focused on its taste, maybe on the fantasies that may arise at that moment ...

You put a slice of tangerine in your mouth and feel drops of nectar on your tongue... You enjoy this taste, these sensations...

You see the sunset, and you freeze in ecstasy from this view, from the riot of colors. Let the whole world wait. You are in this picture of beauty. Entirely, completely!

You take cream in the evening, and your touches become the ecstasy of the moment here and now. You can squint, you can breathe, you can feel divine ...

You see flowers and inhale their fragrance... You see their color, the tenderness of the petals... and... you fly away into the world of pleasure from this contact...

As soon as you master this art of pleasure, all restrictions go away. A man is a part of this diverse world that makes you happy. And you are a part of this world that brings the energy of pleasure and happiness to yourself and those around you...

Men appreciate such women.

You can't make yourself dependent on a man. You can not put your pleasure in dependence on a man. It's like being a drug addict who only gets high when he's had a hit. Think about it, who needs such a woman? What man wants to be 100% responsible for her mood in life?

You can't suffer. It closes the way to pleasure! Let your life become filled with little things that bring joy!

Pleasure can be trained within yourself when no one sees you ...

What do you sleep on? What nightgown are you wearing? Agree that soft delicate fabric will give joy and ecstasy ...

Learn to savor tea, learn to feel the aroma of honey and lemon... Learn to anticipate this taste and spread pleasure inside yourself when it appears in your mouth...

Dance to the music you like that gives you goosebumps...

Watch a movie that makes your soul tremble...

Set the table for yourself as if guests are coming to you ... May you be surrounded by beauty, comfort, warmth, pleasant smells ...

Let yourself walk in the evenings not in jeans, but in a beautiful dress, under which there is a drop-dead underwear! Let them turn around, let them look, let them admire!

And most importantly - enjoy your own appearance, your feelings, yourself ...

Look in the mirror, enjoy the curves of your body!

Oddly enough, women who know how to do this dream of being alone with themselves, because there is always someone next to them ...

Your every movement becomes saturated with energy, love, pleasure. It attracts and bewitches…

To love not from insufficiency, but from excess, from overflowing, when over the edge, when in joy, and not when with pain in the heart and with the expectation to be given ...

God, and the eyes of such a woman… You can’t tear yourself away from them… They sparkle, smile, beckon, attract… And her hugs? They want to sink and dissolve!

Do you want to become such a woman?

Do you want signs of attention, gifts, happiness, love ...?

Do you want everything in life to be easy and effortless?

Then start enjoying right here and now! Find something to enjoy and enjoy!

Increase your enjoyment! Give it to yourself and the world! And your world will be beautiful!

I wonder if you know how to rejoice and enjoy life? Be happy with what you have now? Or are you in a constant pursuit of pleasure, working from Monday to Friday, waiting for them on weekends, and in the end you don’t get it, because everyday problems accumulate on weekends, which we solve again, and put off joys for later? What if we don't always have enough time?

Let's learn this together. A person who knows how to enjoy life is less sick, less tired and more often gets from life what he wants, what he has planned, more often succeeds. If we make a habit of enjoying life, our problems will be solved easily, and life will give us more favorable chances.

Everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, but not everyone can use it. First you need to properly adjust yourself and your life. If you learn to rest properly, learn to enjoy ordinary things - you will break out of everyday life, ordinary things will not burden you, and you will always have maximum energy that you can spend on getting what you want.

You need to live in such a way that every day you want to live even more. This can be achieved if there is always some kind of novelty in life: new knowledge, new acquaintances, new skills.

Usually, people who grew up in an environment dominated by difficulties and deprivations, who from childhood experienced joyless emotions: anxiety, disappointment, distrust, fear of the future, usually do not know how to enjoy life. Such people always think that after a few joyful events a period of a long “black streak” will surely occur, that they must constantly work in order to survive, because they do not have one, the other, the third ... And they are ready, because of their insolvency, to blame others: they are to blame parents who didn’t give something, a boss who pays little money, a husband who humiliates and beats, or something else like that. It is difficult for such people to relax and have fun. They begin to lose strength earlier, age faster.

But what if we start just living, and not surviving? There are so many things in life that can make you happy! These are positive emotions from interesting relationships: personal, friendly, love, creative, partnership, etc. This is an interesting business, a hobby, new creativity, new opportunities. If you learn how to use it, you can enjoy a lot.

You can often find pleasure where you don't expect it. And if you try to get it by force - it will not work. All due to the fact that we are not used to living our desires, but we live the way we “should”, as we have been taught. And when a conflict occurs between us, we get negative emotions from the “wrong” development of events and become depressed, because interesting impressions for you begin to be absent in life, the creative process is absent, you stop living playfully, with passion.

Of course, pleasure depends on circumstances, mood, emotions, etc. Often people are mistaken in thinking that without money there are no pleasures. Although pleasure is your personal emotions, and they do not depend on money. They depend only on your inner state. Of course, money is not the last factor in the realization of our desires, and it helps a lot in the implementation of our plans. But, in addition to, there is still curiosity, thanks to which a person wants to know more about what exists beyond its availability? It is like the curiosity of small children: they are interested in everything. And when they see something new for themselves, lights light up in their eyes. This is how you should live - with twinkles in your eyes.

Imagine that you are climbing a path up a mountain overgrown with spruce. Walk along it for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, an hour - the landscape does not change. And suddenly, unexpectedly, the path comes out on a bald slope, from which an amazing landscape opens up: the sun, clouds, a lake at the foot of the cliff, blooming nature, bizarre silhouettes of other rocks in the distance. You will involuntarily experience wild delight from that dramatic change. And you want to go further and see what is there, further? So it is in life. Do not forget that that little imp is sitting in you, who sometimes wants to frolic, invent something, catch an adventure "in one place." Then life will become more interesting. And you want to have fun, you want to realize yourself.

There are so many beautiful things in life, just don't look for something bad in every good moment. I once witnessed such a scene in a store. The girl approached the cosmetics saleswoman and asked about the glitter shadows: “Tell me, are the glitters on these shadows everywhere, or just on top?”, And without waiting for an answer, she said: “I know, only on top. Lie, don't cheat."

Learn to enjoy life. So that learn to enjoy life try to treat life like a game. Then the problems will not burden you so much - it's just a game. And the game always ends and another begins. Enjoy every period of the game. Go through life with a smile, and it won't take long.

I offer you a clip about the beauty of this world.

Greetings, my friends!

The calendar is at the end of December. New Year's mood! And the topic for our conversation with you came to my mind quite pleasant. Let's talk about how to enjoy life. :))

Well, yes, one of you will say, give me a million dollars and I will immediately begin to enjoy life on a tropical island, sitting in a hammock by the sea with a cocktail in my hands. Yes, of course, the picture is charming! But don't you think that this attitude bothers you very well? How? Let's get a look.

A lot of people are set up exactly like this - “if I had (then there is a list of what they would like to have, but do not have at the moment), then I would enjoy life (I was happy, I was in good mood, thought positively, etc., choose according to your taste)!” With such an attitude and such thoughts, they broadcast several negative attitudes into the world.

First, "I don't have what I want!". Think for yourself - when you say "if I wish I had…”, you automatically confirm that you don’t have it. And such an attitude goes from you to the Universe. Well, she, of course, agrees with you, “Well, if you want it that way, then please, you don’t have it.” The result is that what you want goes farther and farther away from realization in your world.

Secondly, by saying that “then I would be happy” (be happy, enjoy life, etc.), you declare that now you are unhappy, joyless, do not enjoy life. It is these messages that go from you to the Universe. And you get your answer again - "Yes, you are unhappy." And since your every statement of the Universe is perceived as your will and desire, it immediately begins to do everything so that what you want so much comes true. If you want to be unhappy, you will.

Well, look at what consequences such an “innocent” at first glance, “dreaming” about something can have! You are without what you want and unhappy.

“So what now, do not dream at all ?!” - you ask. Dream, of course dream! Just do it right! Then your dreams will only benefit you!

How will be correct? And like this!

First, let's turn the phrase "if only I had ..." into a positive statement about getting what you want, which will attract this most desirable thing into your life. Let's put it this way: "Having received (or receiving) such-and-such." See the difference? Now you don't lament what you don't have. Now you are broadcasting the confidence that you are getting what you want. And the Universe will answer you: “Yes, you get it!”, backing it up with appropriate actions. :))

And what to do with the second part of the statement? And here one truly will help us Magic word! It's the word "More"! Look at what a phrase with this word looks like - “I become EVEN happier!” Do you feel? That is, with this phrase you are asserting not only that getting what you want brings you happiness, but also that you are happy in principle. After all, if you become “even happier”, then before that you already had some level of happiness, which increased when you got what you wanted. :))

And here's what our new phrase will look like. “Receiving this and that, I become even happier (more joyful, enjoy life even more, etc.)” Agree, this is no longer a dreary sigh about the unrealizable, but at least an excellent

But back to our theme of enjoying life.

“Well, what can you enjoy in ordinary life?” someone will ask. Isn't there more than enough to enjoy? Full! Only people, immersed in their problems, run and run somewhere, not noticing the great variety of opportunities to experience pleasure.

Pleasure can (and should) be obtained from the most ordinary things! And as often as possible! After all, while having fun, you broadcast to the world: “I feel good!”. The world agrees: “You feel good!”, accepts this statement as a call to action and begins to do everything to make it come true in your reality.

But in order to enjoy everyday things and actions, you need to be in a state, stop rushing somewhere and shift your focus of attention to what you are actually doing at the moment.

There was a case in my life not very long ago. Just shortly before that, I read about enjoying simple things and decided to try it for myself. And then I had a free minute at work and I decided to drink tea. There really was very little time, just enough to slowly drink a cup of tea and run to work on. Usually, when I drink tea, I read something at the same time. And I hardly notice the taste of tea and what I drink it with. But then I remembered my intention to have fun and put everything aside. I decided on full program follow the well-known slogan “And let the whole world wait!” :)) And focused on my feelings. She took a bite of a piece of gingerbread with cherry jam. God, what a treat! The icing on the gingerbread gently crunched, breaking, and melted in the mouth with a light sweetness. The crumbly dough was fresh and delicious. And cherry jam added its original touch of taste to this whole bouquet of sensations! That's how many of these gingerbread I have eaten in my life, but I have never felt their taste like this consciously and did not enjoy it, as they say, "from and to"! And then the turn came sip of tea. I took a cup and inhaled the wonderful scent of jasmine (I love jasmine green tea). I lingered my attention on this amazing fragrance. The smell of summer. Sun, warmth, blooming jasmine... Beautiful, romantic, magical. The slightly tart taste of tea, mixed with the aroma of jasmine, gave pleasure. And how could I not notice before how nice it is?! SUCH pleasure, as from that cup of tea, I did not get from any tea party, even with the most exquisite teas and with the most delicious cakes! And all because it was in that cup of tea that one very important ingredient was present. Which? Awareness! :))

That's it, my friends! You can enjoy life every day, regardless of the weather, external conditions and the presence of a million dollars, an island and a yacht! Be happy with everything you have right now. Enjoy it. And give thanks for all of this. Believe me, in this way you will not only live every day, experiencing a lot of pleasure, but also help to ensure that there are more and more of them in your life!

Each of us CHOOSE how to relate to what is in his life right now. One will choose to suffer because he does not have enough money to buy a Bentley. And the other will choose to be happy and enjoy the fact that he has money to buy a chocolate bar! Which of these two will get more buzz from life - the suffering “rich man” or the enjoying “poor man”? I take these words in quotation marks, because for some time now the understanding has come that these concepts are not only measured by money! :))

I really like one wisdom: “Never tell God that you are living a bad life. God will say: “Yes, you still don’t know what is bad! I'll show you this!" And it will show... Better tell God that you live well. God will say: “Yes, you still don’t know what good is! I'll show you!" And it will show!!!"

I wish you, my friends, to find many reasons for joy in your life every day! And enjoy as much as possible! In general, enjoy life!

Your Catherine :)
