Hi! Thanks for coming back to Allison in Wonderland for another post! Today, I’m going to be sharing 10 ways to be happier in your everyday life. These days, it feels like winter is dragging on and on, so I hope these tips will serve as a little pick-me-up! Enjoy!
- Watch the sunrise/sunset. I tend to see more sunsets than sunrises, but I love them both! It’s so cool how God makes the sky look different every night. It’s calming to sit there and relax while you watch the sun go down; I highly recommend it!
- Look nice. It’s so easy, especially in college, to go to class in sweatpants and a t-shirt, but it will boost your self-esteem if you spend a little time in the morning getting ready. You don’t have to put on a full face of makeup, but a little mascara and a hair brush will do wonders to your outlook on the day!
- Do nice, spontaneous things for people you love! Everyone loves being able to buy people little surprise gifts every once in a while but you don’t have to spend any money! Doing something nice can even just be sending them a text wishing them a wonderful day. It will make them feel good and it will make you feel good. It’s a win-win!
- Take pictures. This one might not apply to everyone but I love taking pictures. Taking a photo and getting the shot that you envisioned in your head is the most incredible feeling and it lifts my mood in an instant! Try it!
- Light a candle and take a bath. This is one of my favorite things to do when I have a lot of time to hang out. It’s so refreshing and you get clean at the same time!
- Be a tourist in your own town! This is something that’s easier to do if you’re from a place with a larger population but you can make it work even if you’re not! Every hometown has the things that make it special, so spend the day going to a few of your favorite spots. Hopefully, you’ll get a great new outlook on your town!
- Spend time with your friends or family. Spending time with friends and family is a great way to be surrounded by love and support. Your friends and family want you to be happy so they’ll do everything they can to make you that way!
- Go to Target. Target is one of my favorite places to go whether I need something or not! I love looking at the home section and their candle section is to die for! It’s so fun to walk around and see what new things they’ve gotten since the last time I was there.
- Listen to music. Music is one of those things that’s perfect for whatever mood you’re in. If you’re sad, there’s a playlist for that. If you’re happy, there’s a playlist for that. Whatever you’re feeling, music understands, and it has the power to work all your feelings out. Give it a shot!
- Take a drive. This is one of the best pieces of advice I can give for when you’re feeling down. I love taking a drive, especially when it’s warm outside and I can have the sunroof open. It’s such a good way to clear your head!
That’s all the advice I’m going to be sharing for today! I hope it helped you out! If you have any fun ways that you stay happy, let me know in the comments. I’d love for you to share! See you next week!
