Most of the time, life can make us feel that we are in for a crazy ride. But if you really take a step back and have a look at your life, you can see that it is indeed a simple process. Though we feel overwhelmed with our day-to-day activities and busy schedules, there is always a space for moments of calmness and happiness.

Take one step at a time

Nowadays, we are so used to being busy. We can always allocate time for the tasks to be done according to our priorities and must be done for the day. Planning ahead is the key for an effective day ahead. And after seeing each task getting completed you would feel the sense of achievement and indeed happiness.

Let go of the past

Many of us have the habit of dwelling on past incidents, which are often associated with grief. It is healthy to come to the realization that those incidents no longer serve us, and it is in everyone's best interest to forget them, just taking the lesson learned from it forward. Let go of all the grudges and forgive people who have hurt those it is not easy. You will feel a lot more at peaceful afterwards.

Be with Nature

Nature is indeed a cure for the problems. You can always find a spot to enjoy nature and breathe in the fresh air. You can simply take a small walk in your neighborhood, or just go out to the lawn or your nearby park to be with nature. You would feel rejuvenated after spending some quality time in nature.

Find a self-care ritual

It's easy to neglect self care in this fast-paced world. But finding some time to be with yourself is indeed important in nourishing your mind, body and soul. Maybe it's unwinding from your busy schedule with a long bubble bath. Or it may be adopting a skin care routine that makes you feel indulgent. Or it could be simply dedicating a night to put on your softest pyjamas to watch your favorite movie. Whatever it is, try to make it a priority do it.

Your skincare is very important

Your physical and mental health are closely intertwined. Skincare rituals are simple steps to happiness and they are also quiet moments just for you. Your moisturizing routine can play a huge part in making you feel happier and can be a gateway into creating more oxytocin, a key happiness hormone. When you touch yourself, like massaging a mask into your skin, this stimulates the production of oxytocin.

Make time for gratitude

When you are overwhelmed with a busy schedule, you would feel that you have nothing to be grateful for. But if you really have a closer look at your life you will realize that you have plenty of things to be grateful for. You can add the habit of maintaining a small time to reflect on the things to be grateful for and be thankful about them with all your heart. You are indeed sending out good frequencies to the universe which would allow you to attract more blessings.

Be with your loved ones

People are social creatures. To be happy, you need to be connected. Make sure you are regularly checking in on your loved ones. It can allocating some time to discuss the day to day with your husband, wife, kids or friends over a meal or even be as simple as phoning a dear friend. And of course don't forget your furry friends as well. It is always a good time for a good cuddle with them.

Have a good night's sleep

Having a good night's sleep is indeed a way to refresh the mind, body and soul. It will not only make you feel far less triggered, you would also have more energy to get stuff done the next day.

Plan a trip

With the busy schedules we always find it difficult to allocate time for a gateway. Yet it's crucial for your well-being to take the time off. It doesn't always have to be a week off on a far-away location and it can be as simple as going for a day out to a place nearby. You will not only get your mind out of a hectic day's work but also strengthen your bond with your loved ones.

Give back to the society

If you find that giving daily compliments provides a boost to your mood, consider making a monthly routine of giving back on a larger scale. Maybe that's helping an orphanage with essential foods & goods or even providing the essentials for a needy person. You will always see that tinge of a smile on their faces and your heart would indeed glow by the fact that you could make someone else's life a little bit better.
