BrodPod
If youve always dreamed about having a better relationship with your partner, or youve always dreamed about getting the partner youve always wanted, what can you do to make those dreams a reality? Doubts and insecurities can make us unhappy over time, and can stop us enjoying life as much as we could. Are there really any universal answers to problems like these? Probably not, but perhaps these tips can help you.
1) Lower your expectations. Part of the problem you have with not being happy with what youve got is probably because youre dreaming of things that are never going to happen. Either make it happen, or appreciate what you have- The grass is always greener on the other side, you dont know what youve got until it is gone, and probably a whole lot more everyday sayings are appropriate here. So if you have a partner, try to remember what you liked about them enough to get with them in the first place, if you want one, just make the move and see what happens, better than wondering what if?.
2) Get in shape. I know it feels like a big fat effort, but doing some exercise is good for your mind as well as your body. In our culture we too often think of the mind and body as separate things, ones health having little influence on the others, but if your body is feeling good, the chances are you will too. The brain is, after all, inside your body! Exercise releases endorphins (feel good chemicals) into your blood stream, and if youre looking fit and healthy youre going to be getting more attention from the opposite sex as well, which is also going to make you feel better about yourself. The trouble with exercise is, if you havent done any for a long time, its even harder to do, because you tire faster and it makes it unenjoyable. Once you get past the initial few weeks of a new regime, youll start to find it easier and more enjoyable.
3) Eat better. Much like doing some exercise, simply eating healthier food will have a very positive effect on your body, and your mood. Yes, you can sometimes get a quick fix of endorphins from a massive chocolate dessert or eating a whole pack of Jaffa Cakes in one sitting, but this is not a long term solution. Studies show that people who eat better are generally happier, and you should at least try to eat your recommended 5 a day portions of fruit and veg.
4) Make a change. So youre fed up with your job? Change your career and do something you always dreamed of. So youre fed up of the same old places, the same old people? Move to another town, another country. Even if you cant manage anything as big as that, you could always get a cat or buy a new sweater.
5) Go out. Why are you sat inside by yourself reading an article about making yourself happier? Go and see your friends or something!
