10 Simple Happiness Tips

With everything that you do daily and so much going on around us, are you finding that you’re a little stressed and get frustrated quickly? Is your mind wandering, causing a lack of focus? Are you losing interest and easily distracted?  No need to worry, you can change those thoughts and feel better. Start concentrating on what makes you happy, as this can help to increase your ability to handle any situation that comes your way.

Accept what is, instead of harboring negative thoughts about what went wrong and what’s stressing you out. Take a moment to gather your thoughts, take a deep breath, and think about what brings you joy. First, create a plan that includes simple steps. Then, when your mind starts to race, focus on one thing at a time and quickly follow up with an action step to boost your confidence.

Recently, my twelve-year-old dog crossed the rainbow bridge. My family and I were heartbroken, having trouble focusing and processing our grief felt overwhelming at times. While grieving, I read an article that suggested honoring your dog by adopting another one, which made me smile. My vet told me that you’ll know when the time is right to get another dog. My daughter and husband were ready, but I was uncertain. So, I decided to join a few Facebook groups for rescue dogs. Suddenly, I felt happy and knew I was ready.

My family and I visited two dogs, but neither worked out. We returned home empty-handed. But sometimes, miracles do happen. The timing was perfect. A week later, we adopted our beautiful rescue dog, a nine-month-old puppy who has brought smiles and joy into our lives. Her name is Linh.

Linh is a Vietnamese name that means “soul” or “spirit”.

Here are a few pictures of Linh. Just look at her smile.

 

You can improve your well-being and happiness by acknowledging your feelings and learning from your mistakes,  Keep going, and don’t stop what your heart desires. When you do, your stress will float away, and happiness will take over. Begin by shifting your focus on what you want when those negative thoughts start popping into your mind. In my heart, I wanted a dog. Adopting her from the rescue has brought me instant happiness.
