5 Steps To A Balanced Happy Life

Everyone wants to live a balanced happy life right? So why does it all seem so hard? Many of us want balance, health and happiness NOW. But the truth is, to find the key to happiness you will need to take baby steps. Start your new balanced and happy life by setting some small yet achievable goals. By incorporating the following essential hints and tips, you will be well on your way to improved health and happiness.

Daily exercise does absolute wonders to your health. Studies have shown that just 15 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day can improve your sleep, reduce your blood pressure, increase your metabolism and increase endorphin production. Try going for a brisk walk or jog, play with your kids outdoors or enjoy some yoga or stretching.

Stop any negative feelings in their tracks by always focusing on the positive. Remove all negativity by distancing yourself from negative people and changing negative behaviours. By practicing positivity and sharing your attitude with others, you will find it easier to remain positive in your own life.

Added sugars in your diet can have a negative impact to your health and happiness. Added sugars can increase your risk of lifestyle diseases such as Diabetes, Heart Disease and some Cancers. Whilst eliminating added sugars can be a massive challenge, by doing so you can positively impact your entire health and wellness. When you reduce added sugars you will find an increase in concentration levels, a decrease in headaches, you will feel less irritable, you will have clearer skin and simply look and feel amazing!

Happiness is a choice only you can make. Set daily happiness goals. List three reasons for happiness every day and reflect on those when you are feeling down or depressed. Create happiness by doing kind things for others, and always looking for the good in those around you. Strive to make every day a happy and joyful experience. And ensure you  always share your happiness with others.

Take just 10 minutes each day to just “be”. By taking some time out every day for yourself you will lower your anxiety levels and reduce stress. Create a daily ritual by including meditation or a yoga practice. Reconnect with nature by walking barefoot in the grass or on the beach. When surrounded by greenery, fresh air and the sound of birds singing, your stress levels will drop naturally.

It is possible to find a balanced and happy life, but you do need to be conscious of these important steps. Don’t neglect yourself, stop being so “busy” and take time out to enjoy life. You’re feel better for it!
