Find and increase flow experiences
Flow is when you are so consumed by a task or activity that you lose track of time, for instance, gardening, reading, or watching a movie. It's an optimal experience that can make you happy. Flow can be achieved in almost any activity that requires prolonged mental effort.
Seek out daily happy habits. Your brain will build up expectations of being happy and will rewire itself to seek more happy habits.
Strengthen your body daily
- Adopt a healthy diet, in the long term. You must have the right fuel to push your body and increase strength and stamina.
- Exercise. Aim for 5 days a week minimum. Push yourself so your heart is racing for at least 10 minutes to get the full cardiovascular benefit.
- Create a daily ritual to help make you strong. It should leave you feeling happy and ready to take on your day.
Take Control of Your Mind
To take control of your mind do the following:
- Conquer negative thinking by treating yourself like a friend when negative thoughts come. Be empathetic towards yourself.
- Challenge your negative thoughts to see if they are a true representation of who you are.
- Write a brief story about your struggles, then rewrite it from a neutral observer perspective. For example:
Your struggle: I have no money.
From a neutral observation: Everyone struggles with money from time to time.
