10 Ways in Finding Happiness Without Doing Anything from the Happiness Institute
The Happiness Institute had recently received an email from a regular reader about maintaining happiness.
This regular reader notes how she enjoys the benefits from the Happiness Institutes’ eNewsletters and posting on social network mediums, such as Twitter and Facebook.
However, she writes:
“...but sometimes it's so hard and sometimes I just don't have the energy to do what I need to do to be happy!”
The Happiness Institute offers their guide on 10 Ways To Find Happiness Without Doing Anything:
- Breathe, slowly and evenly (you need to do this to stay alive so it doesn't really count as doing anything)
- Sit with whatever you're feeling and thinking - don't question it or try to change it just let it be
- Allow yourself time to daydream
- Find a nice clean window and stare out of it
- Put on your favourite music and listen for a few minutes (or as long as you can)
- Be grateful for what you have (you don't need to "do" anything, just think about things in a different way)
- Imagine yourself living a great life with abundant health and happiness (to make this a reality you will, eventually, need to do something but for now, just imagine)
- Enjoy some resting time - contemplate the benefits of even 5 minutes of "doing nothing"
- Smile - some might say this is doing something and they'd probably be right, but it won't take much effort at all and the benefits will make it worthwhile
- Next time you talk to someone really BE with them; this shouldn't require doing anything much apart from focusing on being present
