The way to make yourself happy.

Ten ways to make yourself happy are as follows:

1, exercise and fitness. This is the most feasible method advocated by almost all people who study positive psychology and should be given priority. Not only keep fit, but also keep fit, effectively reduce the degree of depression and improve energy. A little stronger exercise stimulates the brain to produce polyphenols, which makes you feel good.

There is nothing like exercise to prove that giving is rewarding. Professor Tal Ben Shahar, a big coffee maker in positive psychology, advocates exercising three times a week, which helps to keep the balance of body and mind.

2. Write down a few things to be thankful for every day. It is also a cliche that a grateful heart is more likely to perceive happiness. It is said that you will perceive changes after a period of persistence.

I haven't practiced myself. It probably sounds empty, not as obvious as the last one. I want to do an empirical study recently. It's more operable anyway. Let's keep a diary. Try writing 1-2 articles every day for three months.

Imagine that two people around you are very happy. Can be very specific, imagine their happy smile, because something is happy. Research shows that if you make others happy, you will be happy.

I haven't heard of this before, but after trying it, it's really good to imagine mom and dad smiling happily and showing a lot of teeth.

4. Call your mother. Studies have found that when you chat with your mother, you will produce a feel-good hormone (oxytocin), which is only effective for your mother. Of course, the premise is that your relationship with your mother is ok.

I won't scold you as soon as I pick up the phone, otherwise, no amount of oxytocin will help.

5, massage the calf. Massage calf muscles can increase general circulation, help venous blood return to the heart, transport nutrients to other parts of the body faster, and at the same time, harmful substances are excreted, which makes you feel happy. If you don't have time for a massage, you can also massage with your family. Personally test the super sour and refreshing.

6. Take a blank piece of paper and a random pen and draw something casually. Graffiti is an activity that needs the cooperation of the left and right brains at the same time. It will press the pause button for your stress cycle, which is a quick and simple way to get rid of fighter mode and restore people's better mental state. You don't have to be a painter. It is enough to draw a picture as simple as keeping a notebook.

7. Borrow a pencil. When you can't laugh, put the pencil in your mouth and bite it. Your face looks like a smile, that is, you pretend to be smiling, which will make your brain think that you are really smiling, and then your brain will produce positive instructions to improve your mood (this way is to look a little silly, hehe).

8. Put a rubber band on your wrist and pull it hard if you have negative thoughts. Remember to pull hard, so it will really hurt when touching the skin, and then your subconscious will associate negative thoughts with injuries.

Because the body's self-protection function will automatically reduce negative thoughts and make you less injured (a man with a brain hole, his friend said that he never wants to hurt himself, obviously this method is only applicable to those who dare to do it themselves).

9, two minutes handstand or plow, or dog. If you don't have time to go to the yoga studio, find a place to do it in the office. The key is to keep your head lower than your heart, so that blood will rush to your brain, and you will immediately feel that your brain is more active and your circulatory system will make you feel better.

10, practice meditation for five minutes every day. Meditation brings many benefits, improving memory, attention and work efficiency; Help sleep and even fight cancer.

Meditation can improve the whole inner feelings and help to obtain a stable and peaceful psychological state. It is a matter that needs long-term practice to bring results, and it is also an exercise that is not easy to adhere to. You can set a very simple goal first, meditate for 5 minutes every day for one month, and then extend it to 10 minute, 15 minute.
