How to make a happy and mindful life
Hello! So this blog is just my kind of platform to deliver my thought, my mind, and my experience :)
It's my first post, and i want to talk about the real meaning of happiness in our life
Here, in our modern life, we live unseparatable with social media to communicate with our friends, or beloved ones, and sometimes we forgot to make a real communication with people around us.
As far as i look, i always found my friends can't let their handphone addict when actually it's our quality time. Yes, so after i read book "Calm" by Michael Acton Smith, i kind of realizing that i have to put down my handphone if i am eating, before sleeping, or when i'm with friends. It became a habit, when we can't let go our gadget, the tickling feelings when we have to update about our life in insta story, or update on other's life. And from that, unconsciously we get the standard to be happy from other people. We tend to compare our life with others'.
Everybody's post seems so happy, they show their great moments on their instagram story. And we, in reality looking at it while feeling something wrong with our life. We feel bad. Yes, it's because we compare our life with everybody else'.
Something that i learn from books that i'm still reading on it, is not everytime is a great time, but when we look at the other side, it's a blissful time. :)
Maybe we never experience hiking to Himalayas, or we never go to Disneyland, or doing other great things, but we are here with our family or our beloved ones, still given a chance to be together, laughing, or doing another silly things. Maybe we don't realize it, but it's one of our great moments.
So this is the list that i thought we can do to make a more blissful life to live! :))
1. Stop comparing yourself to another's
Stop comparing your life with other's!
I think this is the most important thing to make a happy life
Everybody live with different condition, and so do you!. You can't make a standard that your friend's life is a definition of happiness for you. We can just make our definition of happiness by ourselves. Maybe eat a good food, going to places we never had to go, learn music instruments or something new, spend our time with our friends or family or some little things that happen in our life.
2. Focus on yourself
Focus on your improvement!. Don't think other's success drag you down because everybody have their own step of success, have their own path.
Don't care if one of your friends maybe passed the scholarship for university in abroad, or already get a good job, just focus with yourself right now and achieve your goal!
We just need to set our goal, focus on our improvement and try to make our better version.
3. Love yourself
It's my favorite word! I think this is another important thing you have to do to make a happier life.
You need to LOVE YOURSELF. You need to love your body, and all of your imperfection.
When you are happy with yourself, you will find another happiness when you don't have to be like other people. You don't have to fulfill the social standard. You just need to love your body and take care of it. Eat healthy food and drinks, make a healthy routines like jogging in the morning, and have enough sleep.
4. Make a private moment
Sometimes we need our privacy when we don't want to be disturbed by anybody else and just focus on ourself.
Make a moment for yourself! When you have to clear out something in your mind, when you want to sort out things that aren't useful or worth to be thought, or when you feel like you want to make happy moments just with yourself.
Maybe strolling and looking out for a good movie, good food, or doing something else where you can enjoy just with your existence. :)
5. Get rid of your phone for a moment
Make a time when you don't use your phone. We need some time to be free of the tension that comes from social media, or updates about politics, economy, or another things that currently happening.
There are some time when you have to put in your handphone in your pocket. It's when you are eating and when meeting a friend. Don't send an email, use your phone, or work above 10 pm, also don't put your handphone besides you when you go to sleep. You will find yourself more calm when you get rid of your principle of "always on".
Thanks for reading! :)
