Better living doesn't happen, it can be made. Accepting everything easily can be helpful to live a better life. However, there are some essential truths that everyone should keep in mind for a beautiful life.

Not surprisingly, I was perusing Tumblr today, taking a break from everyday works. I unearthed this rundown and acknowledged it should have been shared because, truth be told, these are things that each of us ought to be doing. 

1. Always say ‘yes' to see your friends.

This is something we accept to be so fundamental, however, can undoubtedly be forgotten about. We frequently give our companions pardons not to hang out, without acknowledging they may have had a loathsome day and need somebody to converse with. 

Or, on the other hand in my current case—putting off going to my closest companion, just to discover he was getting sent. You generally think you have more opportunity to see somebody or to be there, yet it's not generally the situation. In this way, only accept the open door when it's displayed.  

2. Eat breakfast every day.

Having breakfast is presumably something huge numbers of us don't do any longer either because we're in a surge, we hit rest three times at the beginning of today or perhaps by the hour we awaken, it's as of now noon. 

There is a huge contrast to the way you feel experiencing the day when you eat, regardless of the possibility that it's simply getting an apple before you stroll into class or work. It's a unique little something our folks and specialists endeavor to bore into our heads—"breakfast is the most imperative supper of the day." 

3. Recognize that positive change rarely happens overnight.

Realizing that things will show signs of improvement in time is most likely one of the hardest things to acknowledge in life. Since when you're crying in bed, feeling like your reality is finishing, it's difficult to think anything will be alright once more. Be that as it may, it will be. 

This is something that I sincerely feel is a standout amongst the most essential things to recall in life. Regardless of whether it be another occupation, advance in school, family inconveniences or relationship issues, if a positive change occurred without any forethought, you wouldn't learn. There must be the time between the terrible and the high, where you develop and end up noticeably more grounded. 

4. Accept the f*ck-ups, but try not to let them happen again.

This one doesn't require excessively of clarification. Regardless of whether it's coming up short a test or misleading your folks or getting into a battle with somebody you think about, acknowledge that these things have happened, gain from your errors and don't give them a chance to happen once more. This is the means by which you develop. 

5. There is a song to remedy every situation on the planet.

We as a whole know the power music has on us as individuals. Music is a definitive cure. A single tune can change your mindset on any given day at any given minute. 

Melodies have a method for taking you back to particular occasions in life; I think we would all be able to concur on that one. Along these lines, when you're pitiful, fly on that vibe great playlist or that one tune that makes them move, and grin. 

6. Appreciate the people in your life.

As you grow up, particularly being in your 20s with every one of the progressions happening, you at times neglect to pause for a minute to welcome those who stick around and wouldn't fret hearing you bitch now and again. 

Your companions who answer your telephone calls at 4 am the point at which you're vexed or any individual who's been there through your giggles and tears. Call your folks, your grandparents or the general population who were there for you through it all. Reveal to them you cherish them and express gratitude toward them. 

7. Look for the good in everything. 

Presently, this one can be hard because we as a whole have past encounters that ruin us from imagining that it is great in everything. 

You can't generally expect that something or somebody is terrible. A little case: A couple of months prior I went to a music celebration arranged for a hot summer day, however then it rained, a great deal, similar to a massive storm. It was additionally cold. You get the picture, isn't that so? 

This is an ideal opportunity to attempt to keep positive in a not really favorable circumstance. That is to say, I got the chance to see Kaskade and Vampire Weekend in one day, it couldn't be so awful. 

8. Try new things and try them often.

Regardless of whether it be heading off to show for a style of music you don't generally tune in to, or confronting something you've been keeping away from. Do what needs to be done. There is this quote from "One Tree Hill," which I live by that precisely agrees with this point: 

"So don't be hesitant to commit errors, to lurch, to fall, because more often than not the best rewards originate from doing the things that terrify you the most." 


Furthermore, actually, once you've done the new thing, whatever it might be, you generally feel a considerable measure more joyful and contemplate internally, "well, I survived."

When it comes to marketing, we are all about making our clients happy. But, what about us? It’s not just a handy saying that people are more productive when they are happy.  Researchers Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, authors of the Progress Principles, have proven it be true. “Whether we looked at entrepreneurial startups or large, established enterprises, the same holds true: People are more productive and creative when they have more positive emotions. 

In fact, we found that, if happier on a given day, people were not only more likely to come up with a new idea or solve a complex problem that same day but also to do so the next day,” they relate in Employee Happiness Matters More Than You Think.

Being of service to others not only helps them – it makes you feel happy that you could make a difference.

So, how do achieve happiness nirvana? According to David K. Williams in Eleven Things Science Shows Will Make You Happier Every Day, there are some simple, scientifically proven steps that will help you reach the big H … Happiness.

1. Exercise more. While hitting your target beats per minute on the treadmill may not make you jump for joy at that second, exercise is proven to affect the happy factor.

“Statistical results were very important. On exercise days, people’s mood significantly improved after exercising. Mood stayed about the same on days they didn’t, with the exception of people’s sense of calm which deteriorated, says Jo Coulson, Research Associate in the University of Bristol’s Department of Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences  was quoted as saying inPeople who Exercise on Work Days are Happier, Suffer Less Stress and are More Productive.

Plus, who doesn’t love playing outside or that endorphin rush we get from activity? If you are an outside exerciser, spending time in the great outdoors is also a proven happy booster.

2. Sleep more.  Finally, you can tell someone that you have to sleep in because it’s science! Turns out a good night’s sleep can really keep the blues away.

“Negative stimuli get processed by the amygdala; positive or neutral memories get processed by the hippocampus. Sleep deprivation hits the hippocampus harder than the amygdala. The result is that sleep-deprived people fail to recall pleasant memories, yet recall gloomy memories just fine,” relate authors Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman in the book, NutureShock.

3. Help others. Nothing makes you stop thinking about your problems like … thinking about someone else’s. Being of service to others not only helps them – it makes you feel happy that you could make a difference.

4. Smile already. In the blog, 10 Simple Things You Can Do Today That Will Make You Happier, Backed by Science, author Belle Beth Cooper cites research that proves smiling can actually alleviate pain.

“A new study led by a Michigan State University business scholar suggests customer-service workers who fake smile throughout the day worsen their mood and withdraw from work, affecting productivity. But workers who smile as a result of cultivating positive thoughts – such as a tropical vacation or a child’s recital – improve their mood and withdraw less.”

5. Be Grateful. Even when deadlines loom and sleep is just a fond memory, we have something to be grateful about. It can be easy to focus on the negative (see #2), but acknowledging the things that are going right can go a long toward an attitude adjustment.

So, slap a smile on your face, take a walk and get some sweet, sweet sleep – it will go a long way toward your lifelong happiness. For more about the science behind the suggestions, check out Cooper’s comprehensive blog.

Must do things to know by your age 20. Today I'm sharing some practical advice for young people on how to properly get to grips with the world in which we live. In order to become successful and self-reliant by the time your 20, you must follow that there are certain rules as well as certain things about the world which you just have to know. 

Here they all are:

1. The world is trying to keep you stupid. From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness. Stay strong, make your mind prepare to protect the outer world being stupid.

2. She can't help it, no matter how much she loves you, she feels like she might express too much and need to take it back. That's where snarky comments and distance come in, but you've got to dig and notice the sweetness she might be trying to hide.

3. Read as much as you can. Learn to speed read with high retention.The more you read the more you learn.

4. Connect with everyone, all the time. Be honest about this. Be genuine about it. Learn to find something you like in each person, and then speak to that thing.

5. Don’t waste time being shy. Shyness is the belief that your emotions should be the arbitrators of your decision making process when the opposite is actually true. In my thoughts this is #1 in the list of 20 Things to Know by 20.


6. If you feel weird about something during a relationship, that’s usually what you end up breaking up over.
 
7. Have as much contact as possible with older people. The reason this is so valuable is because people your age don’t usually have the decision-making ability to help you very much. Also they know almost everything you will learn later, so ask them.

8. Find people that are cooler than you and hang out with them too. This is great to meet up with cool peoples. This and the corollary are both important: “don’t attempt to be average inside your group. Continuously attempt to be cooler than them (by doing cooler things, being more laid back, accepting, ambitious, etc.).“

9. You will become more conservative over time. This is just a fact. Those you surround yourself with create a kind of ”bubble“ that pushes you to support the status quo. For this reason, you need to do your craziest stuff NOW. Later on, you’ll become too afraid. Trust me.

10. Reduce all expenses as much as possible. I mean it. This creates a safety net that will allow you to do the crazier stuff I mentioned above.

11. She probably won't make the first move. And might ignore you the first time even if you do, but she's still down. Wait for the third.

12. While you are living on the cheap, solve the money problem. Use the internet, because it’s like a cool little machine that helps you do your bidding. If you are currently living paycheck to paycheck, extend that to three weeks instead of two. Then, as you get better, you can think a month ahead, then three months, then six, and finally a year ahead. (The goal is to get to a point where you are thinking 5 years ahead.)

13. Learn to program. This is a great way to develop your memory, imagination and logical thinking.

14. Get a six-pack (or get thin, whatever your goal is) while you are young. Your hormones are in a better place to help you do this at a younger age. Don’t waste this opportunity, trust me.

15. Learn to cook. This will make everything much easier and it turns food from a chore + expensive habit into a pleasant + frugal one. I’m a big Jamie Oliver fan, but whatever you like is fine.

16. Sleep well. This and cooking will help with the six pack. If you think “I can sleep when I’m dead” or ”I have too much to do to sleep,“ I have news for you: you are INEFFICIENT, and sleep deprivation isn’t helping.

17. Get a reminder app for everything. Do not trust your own brain for your memory. Do not trust it for what you ”feel like" you should be doing. Trust only the reminder app. I use RE.minder and Action Method.

18. Choose something huge to do, as well as allowing the waves of opportunity to help you along. If you don’t set goals, some stuff may happen, but if you do choose, lots more will.

19. Get known for one thing. I'm not sure what are you going to do in the next five years, plan yourself, what can be best for your life, career and relation. Spend like 5 years doing it instead of flopping around all over the place. If you want to shift afterwards, go ahead. Like I said, choose something. Everything up to you, yes you can control it.

20. Don’t try to “fix” anyone. Instead, look for someone who isn’t broken. Of-course sometime you need to show up to fix someone. But you should not, only give them a few advice, show they both way, rest of the decision they will take as well.

How to live a better life is what we all think and want, each and every second.  You don’t like your life? Change it! Make your life happier than ever and lead it. Change your life for the better! Life can be a beautiful journey, a crazy ride, a big adventure. Don’t have any clue on how to do it? Here’s a list of 20 actionable tips. 

20 Simple Ways To Be Happy in Life

Accept Your Mistakes

You’re human. We, humans, are making mistakes. Accept what you did wrong and try to do better next time. No need to punish yourself forever. In fact, accepting your mistakes is the only way to make them disappear.

Let go of the past

You won’t be able to continue your life and enjoy your days if you’re stuck in past memories and constantly reliving what has happened a long time ago.Free yourself from the burden of the past by letting go, by realizing that nothing can be done and you can only learn from it. Leave it behind and move on stronger than ever. Great things are waiting for you out there.

Sleep on right time

How Much Sleep Do You Need? Most of us know that getting a good night’s sleep is important, but too few of us actually make those eight or so hours between the sheets a priority. For many of us with sleep debt , we’ve forgotten what “being really, truly rested” feels like. If you are adult, average sleeping time you need is 5-8 hours daily, depends on your health condition. If you have sleep enough what you need, your health and mind will be more fresh and productive. So you could be more happy in life.
If you have trouble falling asleep, you may need to change your computer habits. Bad posture can tense up your muscles. Web browsing, video games, and caffeine can keep your mind active long after you’ve “dosed” yourself.

Wake up early in morning

Believe this time is going to change your life. Most people are not happy with their life. Yet they continually venture down the same road of unhappiness. Never willing to change. As you take a birds eye view of your current lifestyle, you must wake up in the morning, and do something which can start your day better. I guess this one is #1 key to be happy in life.

We must become the change we want to see.~ Mahatma Gandhi

Fresh Shower help you to stay fresh

Do fresh shower to stay fresh, start your day by cleansing your body. Morning shower will help you to keep your mind healthy and fresh. Your unique body chemistry will determine how often you need to bath. Try to have a fresh cool bath and stay well all day long.

Do not over think or on the topic How to live a better life, you will be bored! 

Appreciate what you have

Grateful people live great lives.They are thankful each day for what they have. And are so much happier because they focus on the people they love, the opportunities that are everywhere around them, the things they enjoy doing, the time they have, the place they live in, the friends they have, and so on. They smile about everything they own and appreciate what life gives them.

Start A New Diet

You are, in a vast proportion, what you eat. Trying a new diet would often be the only needed change for a dramatic boost of your health and energy. Don’t necessarily have to be raw food, or even vegetarian, whatever works for you. Don't over control on it.

Travel any time you want

Traveling long distance is incredibly rewarding. It’s so exciting and full with unknown events. Personally I love to travel anywhere my mind wants to go and its any time. for example "If my mind reminds me to go to beach in midnight, I would go there at that time" Trust me it works to boost my mind freshness. I guess this is they key to be happy, do whatever you want, if that is not harmful to anyone.

Learn To Take Risks Live Better Life

I always love to take risk for doing anything. If you don't love it, make change your mind. Your life may be so boring and fade because… err, you made it like this? When was the last time your tried something really difficult? When was the last time you challenged the odds doing something risky? Do it now.

Create a solid nighttime ritual

I think when people ritualize waking up early, they have the tendency to focus too much on getting up early, as opposed to heading to bed early. But the two are inseparable–like two sides of the same coin. If you don’t create a solid nighttime ritual to go to bed earlier, you’re going to hate yourself the next day when you wake up early. If you’re average, your body needs a solid eight hours of sleep every night, and getting less than that will discourage you from adopting the ritual.

Drink a cup of Coffee

Take a cup of espresso. It is important to drink it in one gulp. just wait 2 minute and then lie down, relax, close your eyes and have a sleep for 15-20 minutes, but not more! Once again, not more than! The fact is that this exact stretch of time is needed to make coffee become active in the intestine and provide a slight awakening from the dream. You shouldn’t sleep longer because in this case you will leave REM sleep (rapid eye movement sleep) and enter the long sleep phase. Then it will require enormous effort to wake up.

Benefits of fresh air: use it

“Breathing is important. If you aren’t breathing, you’re not going to be doing anything else either.” Fresh air helps to improve your heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolic rate. One important part of this fresh air you have already read in this post is Sleeping. Fresh air will help you sleep more soundly at night. Fresh air will leave you feeling more refreshed and relaxed. Mostly in the early morning is the perfect time to get more fresh air. Try having longer breath in it.

Try a new job

To live a better life you need a good profession which is you really do love. If you are not satisfied with your day job or if you just bored with it, don't wait to change it right now. Its the time to value your life, what are you waiting for if you are not happy? What are you living for if you cant live well? Why do you do this job if you don't get what you want? Ask those questions and start new life.

Organize your digital files

How To Live a Better Life? Develop a logical system of folders, so you won’t have to wade through hundreds of random files to find what you’re looking for. Or just simply use only one folder for different kind of items, so you will find it in time.

Stop networking to live a better life

Do you use social media in every hour of your life? Please don't! This is the most panic term of life while it makes your life easier sometime. Stop networking for one day, switch off your mobile phone and just go to shopping, travel or anything you want. Trust me, the next day you will be surprised! Yes you can take one or more friends with you. But don't be over crowded.

Sing when you are alone

Everyone love singing. Almost 91% People love to sing while they take shower. Umm you can try this as well. Also try when you are feeling lonely or you are living alone. Singing will decrees your depression and for a while you will forget your tension. For many people it works to go flash back to their memory, however I didn't tried out to travel over the time, but I wish I will try when I get some time. Wish you good luck to the path of live a better life, one moment can change your life.

List your work by hand

Write down your to do list on a paper. List all your work for the next day, but you can edit it later if you need. Do not use any digital method to do this. Keep the paper in your pocket or hand bag, so you will find it easily to done your next task. 

Embrace Your Mistakes

We are all perfectly imperfect in this human form, and it is only natural that we make mistakes (sometimes very often!) Living in denial about your mistakes or getting wrapped up in your ego will only you make you miserable and block you from learning valuable lessons that will help you grow and improve. 

Believe in Happiness

For me, this was a hard one at first. I thought that people were either unhappy or happy (and I was one of the unhappy ones). I used to blame this on all kinds of outside forces –- fate, experiences, parents, relationships –- but never really stopped to think that I could choose to be happy. Say yourself that you are happy, trust yourself, ask it again and again. Do not compare who are living better than you, compare with them who are living unwell than you.
Don't get me right? Ok let me explain, If you have $100 for a day, don't look or compare with the person who have $1000 or more. But compare with the person who have only $10 for the day. just trust me, happiness is living into you, bring her out and love her.

Fall in love and be happy 

Key to be happy in life is falling in love! What happens if you decide that falling in love is not something that happens to you, but something that you do? Falling in love will really help you to be happy. If you can love someone (must be different sex) you will be creative. This will keep you away from boredom.

Start A Blog

Once you start writing about your life and the thoughts that shape it, your life will be changed in a good term. On whatever topic you want. Not only it will give you the opportunity to create something new and valuable but it will also bring new people into your life. Blogging is far more than a hype, is a personal development tool. It won't spend you any money, seriously its free of cost to start. However if you wants to make money from your blog, you may needs to pay something. 

We all want a happy life, and we all know that having a positive attitude feels better than a negative one. As all you wants to be happy and lead a healthier life please don't be frustrated, some time you can achieve it by overnight depends on your mind, sometime it will take years long to practice to be happy.

FAQ about Happy Easter

Are you happy with your health? How healthy are you? Do you have a healthy diet? Do you exercise regularly? Keeping a healthy weight is important for good health and keeping a health weight needs the right balance of food and physical activity. Do you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day? Do you get enough sleep every day?

How to Live a Healthier Life

Good health isn’t just about healthy eating and exercise – it also includes having a positive mental health, healthy self-image and a healthy lifestyle. In this article, I’ll share with you 35 tips to live a healthier life. Bookmark this article and save the tips, because they are going to be vital in living a healthier life.

Why Should You Drink More Water?

Most of us actually don’t drink enough water every day. Water is essential for our body to function – Do you know over 60% of our body is made up of water? Water is needed to carry out our body functions, remove waste and carry nutrients and oxygen around our body. Since we lose water every day through urine, bowel movements, perspiration and breathing, we need to replenish our water intake.

Furthermore, drinking more water alone actually aids in losing weight. A Health.com study carried out among overweight/obese people showed that water drinkers lose 4.5 more pounds than a control group. The researchers believe that it’s because drinking more water helps fill your stomach, making you less hungry and less likely to overeat. I agree with that, and I have an added take that your body tries to retain whatever water you take when you don’t take in enough water, leading to increase in weight. Whereas when you regularly drink water, your body knows that it’s going to get its supply of fluids, so it doesn’t try to retain more water.

Why Should You Needs To Get enough sleep 

When you don’t rest well, you compensate by eating more. Usually it’s junk food. Get enough rest and you don’t need to snack to stay awake. Also, lack of sleep causes premature aging, and you wouldn’t want that.

What Does I mean by "Work out different parts of your body"

Don’t just do cardio exercises (such as jogging). Give your full body a proper work out. The easiest way is to engage in sports, since they work out different muscle groups. Popular sports include basketball, football, swimming, tennis, squash, badminton, frisbee, and more.

Why Should You Needs to Eat more vegetables 

Like fruits, vegetables are important for the well being of our health. Experts suggest that we should have 5-9 servings of fruits/vegetables, and unfortunately most people don’t even have at least 5 servings! Some of my favorite vegetables include: Kidney beans, black beans, asparagus, long beans, french beans, sprouts, button mushrooms and carrots. What are your favorite vegetables and how can you include more of them in your diet today?

Why Should You Needs to Cook your own food

Lately I’m beginning to appreciate the value of preparing my own meals. When you prepare your meals, you control what goes into them. No more being in a dilemma between eating healthy  and choosing between the sub-optimal food choices. Get some quality kitchen equipment – these will be your best investments ever. I bought my blender 3 years ago and it’s been such a breeze making my own fruit juices!

What is vegan diet?

A vegetarian is someone who does not consume animal products. A vegan is someone who doesn’t consume animal or animal-derived products. This means no dairy, honey, cheese, milk, etc. So in that sense, it’s seemingly stricter, but it brings about even more positive benefits on top of a vegetarian diet.

I’m personally super enthused about this and I can’t wait to get started. I’ll be posting more about the challenge in a couple of days’ time, so stay tuned!

Here are 50 tips to set you on your way to a better day. Do yourself a favor and don’t try more than a handful of these in a single day. In fact, put these ideas in a hat and pick one randomly the next time you get in a funk.

• Think Positive Thoughts Before You Sleep 

The quality of sleep you get the night before can affect your mood the next day. Thus, if you want to create a better day tomorrow, you have to make sure that you think only positive things before you go to bed at night. Do not fret about your mortgage problems or dwell on the bad things that happened to you during the day. You need a good night’s rest in order to prepare your mind and body for the busy day ahead.

• Tell yourself That Today is a Better Day

  The first thing that you should say to yourself the moment you wake up is that today will be great and marvelous. Know that you have control of what kind of day you will have. Telling yourself that today is going to be a great day will give you a positive attitude and a winner’s outlook. The power of the mind is strong so feed your mind with positive things.
  

• Wake Up a Few Minutes Earlier

  If you want to get out of bed at 6AM, set the alarm for 5:45 and then allow 15 minutes for your body and mind to adjust and wake up. At 6, hop out of bed! Waking up late and rushing through things will increase your heart rate and simply stress you out. On top of that, you’ll inevitably forget to do something and then stress about that too!
