How to Keep Yourself Happy (as a Northern European)

Yourself Happy

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a good support system in their lives when they are going through something difficult. In this situation, there are ways you can keep yourself happy even if your family or friends aren’t there to support you. However, it is important not to use these things as excuses to not talk about your problems with others because nothing beats human connection and compassion.

A key component of happiness is having positive feelings about yourself! Remember that you are worth loving and caring for so treat yourself well. This could be done by giving yourself the occasional massage, cuddling with your pet or relaxing under a warm blanket on a cold day. You could also pay someone else to do it for you! Think of all the fun things you can do with the money that would go towards buying yourself some flowers.- https://www.psychsavvy.com/blog/componentsofhappiness

When people are feeling down, they often want to spend time alone and withdraw from social interactions. However, this will only make you feel worse in the long run because having connections with other people is fundamental for human beings. Reach out to your friends or family members on a regular basis! Even if they are all busy, knowing that they have thought about calling or texting you can bring a lot of joy to your life. Not being able to see them in person doesn’t mean you cannot be together so try using video chatting services such as Skype or FaceTime when possible. If you do not have any friends at the moment, it may be worthwhile to consider local events that you can attend to meet new people. Participating in fun activities builds social connections and friendships while creating positive memories, even when playing online games such as roulette or live poker via an online casino.  (www.nutz.ee/en/casino). Be open to fun and enjoy yourself.

Your environment affects your happiness a lot, so make sure everything looks nice around you. This could be done by simply putting some posters on the walls or perhaps hanging up some streamers! Brighten things up with lightings such as candles or lamps if necessary for you to feel comfortable in your own home. You don’t have to spend a lot of money doing this either since most decorations such as flower pots and figurines can be found at local thrift stores, dollar stores and discount retailers like the famous Daiso.

Some people find it difficult to get out of bed when they aren’t feeling great but if you spend too much time in bed, you will probably end up feeling worse about yourself. Make sure that your bedroom is filled with objects that motivate you to take care of yourself! This could be done by displaying your favourite items or photos on the walls and surrounding surfaces (e.g. surface near the bed, beside pillows) to allow them to serve as reminders for you during the day.

Whatever problems are upsetting you, there are plenty of ways for you to alleviate these difficulties so please share them with others if needed! If not properly dealt with, life’s problems can eat away at us causing our happiness levels to drop drastically over time. Avoid shutting people out because this could cause more problems down the road if not handled appropriately. Remember that all humans are imperfect so it’s okay to not have everything figured out yet. – https://www.readunwritten.com/2020/03/23/why-stop-shutting-people-out-find-love/
