Hi Friends,
Remi here from the Online Business Temple. The Temple is for coaches and course creators who are looking to double their income, whilst working less than a business.
That is what we helped you do at the online business temple.
Today, I want to talk about 10 shifts I have made to make me feel happier.
So let's go through the 10 shifts I made as an adult... who could make decisions to be happier.
- The first thing I did was, I got a dog, who knew that dogs could make you so, so happy. I was always a cat person. Never had a dog never lived with a dog.
And I got a dog five months ago, and makes me so happy also makes me walk which means I get fresh air, which means I feel happier. And you know, invigorated. So getting a dog made me happy.
- The second thing was I decided to leave an area where I wasn't happy in South East London and I moved southwest. And I now live in a beautiful town in the countryside. And I just left an area I didn't want to be and I moved to an area where I wanted to be. And that meant I left friends and family behind. But it made me happy. I'm really really happy where I am.
- The third shift I made for happiness was I let go of terrible friends. Some some of these friends were actually really old friends 2030 year friendships, but they were no longer serving me they their energy was wrong. Some of them actually had some racist tendencies that I didn't ever know about that, you know, came out with Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd saga that we all live through. And people revealed themselves so I let go some friends that were no longer a good fit for me. And that I had been carrying for a long time knew that they weren't quite right but still held on to those relationships, I think that maybe taps into self worth and self value.
- And step four was I when I did get some self worth and some self value... was I then made lots of new friends. Lots more positive friends, people who are in my world or in my industry or do similar things to me, people who light up my soul and make me smile and laugh a lot. So I got rid of the old and brought in a lot more new and it's just made me a much much happier person.
- Number five, drinking more water... that makes me happy it makes me happy because I'm less tired and less cranky. I therefore have more room to be happier and bubbly air and a little bit more fun. I'm still you know drinking lots of water is still a work in progress but I drink a lot more than I used to and it definitely helps with my happiness.
- Number six I visit the beach more often the beach if anybody knows me well the beach is my place it's my sanctuary. There is nothing I love more than my feet in the sand the grainy sand exfoliating my feet and my days and you know having the water wash upon my feet hearing the sound of the ocean coming in and out for me there is not a more happier place I could be.
- Number seven, the follow on for number six actually is also visit in the woods more often. I love I love being underneath the trees like I I can't explain it like being sort of cocooned by the trees over your head with the leaves moving and the gentle sounds and the calmness as being underneath the trees on lights up my soul, it makes me so happy. And again number one was the dog right so we get to take the dog. We are surrounded here, by some incredible words like we are so lucky. There's like four or five I can think of now. Giant big woods of trees where we can go with a dog be under the trees and it comes me it comes my daughter it makes us really really happy. And we do it as we do it. We can We go to the woods every week because we're surrounded by them. And we try and get to the beach at least once a month.
- Number eight, my eight the shift towards being more happy is I don't worry as much about mistakes that I've made. Now I do I am an anxiety sufferer, I do have a lot of anxiety, I do overthink things. And for a long, long time, I would beat myself up about any mistakes that I made, whether that's personal or business friendships with my child, I would beat myself up and I no longer do that. I no longer worry as much about the mistakes that I am making. And I see them as lessons. Instead of mistakes. And I look at them I learned from them. And I move on, right? Life's too short for me to be stuck worrying about mistakes, learn from them, and move on. And that makes me feel much more happier. Rather than worrying too much all the time.
- Number nine, I'm smiling, just looking at number nine, I stand in the sunshine more, I will literally I mean the sun's just coming out now, which is not. And I'm gonna go out there and just
stand out there for 10 or 15 minutes and look up at the sun and let the sun just replenish my skin. And guess what makes me feel happier. I love it. And I have a hammock and I love swinging in the hammock. And I love going to the park and swinging on those bucket swings. There's something about this rocking motion that is really soothing and relaxing for me. And it just makes me happy.
- And number 10 The last one is my last shift of things I do to make me happier is I tell myself kind of things.
When those bad voices in my my head sort of rear up and they want to tell me that I'm not good enough or I'm not, you know, brave enough or I shouldn't be doing something. I've reprogrammed myself and it's still a work in progress. But I tell myself the opposite of those negative things that I hear sometimes in my head, you know childhood trauma and you know, life stuff that people tell you that are not true. And I now tell myself much kinds of things and that keeps me happier.
I just wanted to share my happy things with you. This may or may not help someone today, and these are my 10 shifts towards happiness. Take care, have a great day.
