How do you learn to enjoy life?
Many people have at least once experienced a state of apathy and depression, thinking that their life is boring and useless and that nothing can be changed. However, this is a huge misconception! In fact, it is possible to enjoy every second of your life and find joy in the little things. Here are a few more tricks to help you look at your life differently and love it.
A dark and fresh night
Giving up all gadgets and lights half an hour before you go to bed is a good idea. Close the curtains and sleep in complete darkness. Before that, you should ventilate the room. Then the feeling of joy and pleasure will not be long in coming.
Cheerful morning
To stay awake and cheerful from the morning, you can always turn to the Zeigarnik effect. If you have not heard of it, the idea is that before you go to sleep, you should occupy yourself with some useful and interesting work. For example, you may watch an interesting film or read a book. After that you go to bed, and in the morning you finish watching a movie or reading a book. You can then create an anticipation of something that is worth living for. And then you will notice that waking up will become easier.
As for waking up early, set your alarm clock ten minutes earlier. That way you can free up your morning for something useful. There’s no need to rush in the morning. A leisurely packing and a quiet breakfast are pleasant.
Learn to eat
Seems like a strange piece of advice. Who among us can’t eat? Of course, everyone is able to eat. But not everyone can enjoy it. In a hurry, we tend to gulp down food faster, without even really chewing it. Take time to truly enjoy every bite, to get the most out of a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. And don’t forget to set the table nicely.
Positive emotions from waiting
Not many people enjoy waiting for things to happen, but it’s something we have to learn. The times of forced inactivity can be made interesting and exciting. An interesting book or film, a walk around town, watching the world around you and many other things can help you do that. Learn to not be angry about your forced waiting but get positive emotions and impressions from your free time.
Reading books
Reading books is something for everyone. And you don’t even have to have a lot of money, because now you can find anything on the internet. You can also listen to an audio book. It’s even better if you read aloud. And even if you don’t have anyone to read to, read to yourself. It’s a ritual that’s sure to give you peace and tranquillity.
Listen to music
Music has the power to evoke positive feelings, joy and happiness. Music has a magical effect on people. It is worth trying to get to the heart of it. It is especially good to listen to classical music. It calms you down and releases tension before you go to sleep.
Drink a lot of water
Water is not just vital. Watching it may calm you down, improve your thinking processes. Clean water should be drunk every day. The recommended norm is seven to eight glasses. It’s also a good idea to buy a season ticket for a swimming pool, go to the sea or just take a bath at home. A wake-up shower in the morning will wake you up and give you extra energy for the day. The contrast shower is a great body massage that reduces skin flabbiness and makes your skin look softer and firmer. In general, water is not only vital for human survival. It also has other benefits that help one feel better.
