Smile
:) Smile in the Mirror as if it is what it is there for (:
Put a smiley note on your mirror :) if needed but always, always be smiling at your reflection :) and you will always see yourself as smiling in your thoughts (: When you are out or among family and loved ones and smiling :) others will notice and many will instinctively smile back :) (:
Gratitude
Thankfulness and gratitude couldn’t be more important to have
because there is actual science to back up what it does for us
physiologically. Study after study, confirm that people who have
high levels of gratitude and thankfulness have higher levels of
serotonin. Serotonin is produced in the brain and in the digestive
tract and is known as the “feel good” chemical. People who are
mindful and frequently pause to express thanks and gratitude have
less depression and higher immune function.
Exercise
Exercise decreases the stress hormones such as cortisol and
increases endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural feel good
chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your mood
is boosted naturally. As well endorphins, exercise also releases
adrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine. These chemicals work
together to make you feel good.
Laugh
When have you felt the absolute best feelings in your life? I’m
willing to bet dollars to donuts that you felt pretty sensational
after you found yourself laughing hard…either at a funny movie…a
friend’s joke…or while listening to a comedian. Maybe somebody
played a practical joke on someone in the office and you laughed
yourself to tears.
Laughing is found to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, increase muscle flexion, and boost immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, and produces a general sense of well-being
These are a few tools to realize the happiness within us all and I hope you find them useful fun and fulfilling ;)
