Winter blues, blue monday. It's time to shake up your happiness again. Out with the old, in with the new. Starting with yourself and your own daily happiness. Here are 5 tips to help you on your way
1 - Surround yourself with positivity
'You become what you hang out with'… If you want to have more happiness in your daily life, surround yourself with things, people and events that make you positive (and therefore happier). Start with where you live, where you relax and crash in the evening after a hectic day. Make that your happy place with positivity. Think of favorite colors and scents. Did you know that colors in the right order subconsciously give you a good feeling? So bring the rainbow into your home! Are you familiar with the DIY rainbow kit?
2 - Thank more often (including yourself)
Expressing gratitude makes you happy. So say thank you more often, even if it doesn't seem necessary. It's often the smallest things that make a person happy. If someone takes the time to really listen to you for 5 minutes without judgement, that's something to be very grateful for. Real love and attention can't be bought. Of course, you can also say thank you with a sweet gift like this Quote Box . A gift box with a small porcelain figure and a matching quote.
3 - Always try to see what you do have
Even if everything is still going against you, a good way to cheer yourself up a bit is to make a list in your head of what you do have. Because if you only think about what is not there, you will stay down. This Kintsugi heart reminds me of that. When you are heartbroken, you experience a great loss. And with this beautiful Kintsugi heart you create your own ritual to repair your broken heart. This way, there is a greater chance that you will come out stronger. How beautiful is that?!
4 - Shit happens (embrace it)
Things happen, things you can't do much about and then it's 'just like that'. For more daily happiness it is therefore good not to always want to have control over everything. So let go more. Do you need a nice reminder for that? Then check out this beautiful "bird poop" brooch , inspired by the city pigeon and its lucky poop. All blessings come from above, right!
