Habits Muhti. If you’ve had a bad habit and you’ve tried to break it, you will realise how ingrained that habit.

Good habits are deeply ingrained too. Why not work on making positive habits part of your routine.

try to remember this is only a guideline everybody’s happiness looks different and how we achieve. It can be different too.

SMILE

people smile when I happy, this causes the brain to release dopamine, and this makes us happier.

EXERCISE

Try to remember exercise isn’t just for the body it reduces stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression. It also boosts self-esteem and happiness. You don’t have to go to the gym and run and weigh yourself out just a small amount will make a difference

SLEEP

I can’t stress how important it is to sleep, seven hours of sleep every night if you can do it. Tried to write down how many hours of sleep you are getting on each night, go to bed and wake up at the same time. make sure bedtime is a quiet time, keeping your bedroom, dark and cool, invest in some good bedding.

EAT

The food you choose will impact your mood, for example, carbohydrates will release serotonin, which is a feelgood horn, one. Lean meat, poultry and diary, a high in protein and release dopamine, and norepinephrine, boosting energy and concentration. Highly processed or deep fried food tend to leave you feeling down. Also skipping meals will make you feel down too.

GRATITUDE

We have spoken at length about gratitude and it may be cliche however, it can change the way that you think improving your mood gratefully. Try starting each day by acknowledging one thing that you are grateful for.

COMPLIMENT

it is well known that performing acts of kindness helps promote an overall well-being. Giving a sincere compliment is quick and easy way to brighten somebody else’s day, whilst giving your own happiness a boost, but remember be sincere.

BREATHE

breathing deeply releases, tense in your shoulders in your neck, take a long deep breath to come yourself down or even if you are finding yourself just a little bit tense. Close your eyes, try to remember happy place take a slow deep breath through your nose and slowly breathe out through your mouth.

STRESS

Face stress head on, by holding onto a problem you become more anxious and make bad decisions. Remember everybody have stress. It’s how you deal with the stress that makes a difference so instead of letting yourself get overwhelmed trying to address the situation. Remember if there’s a problem, there’s always a solution.
