Why bring back your positive attitudes? Each and every day our responsibilities take an emotional toll on our well-being and mood. Focus on yourself and learn what triggers make you feel emotionally drained, as well as what things you find pleasant and pleasurable. If you are able to teach yourself how to find the middle ground between the two, you will be able to enrich your life and be happy again.

No matter how many emotional reserves you start with each day, you must realize that your emotional supply has limitations and is not an endless supply. To rejuvenate and replenish emotional energy, we need to find easy ways to fill our happiness tank.

Are here 5 ways to enrich your life and be happy again:

1. Spend time with people who make you laugh. Laughter truly is the best medicine for anything that’s bothering you.

2. Think positive thoughts when eating. Indigestion occurs when you allow negative thoughts to arise when you worry endlessly.

3. Surround yourself with things that bring back happy memories. When you see things throughout the day that trigger strong memories, your “feel good” emotions will surface and give you the boost you need to get on with the rest of the day.

4. Make yourself a thank you list. Knowing and acknowledging the things for which you are grateful allows you to overcome the bad times.

5. Let the sunlight in. Light has been shown to uplift the spirit and lift the mood. Light therapy is used in many cases of depression, as well as SAD.

Never give in to feelings of despair. The saying that there is always someone worse than you has been proven many times. When you start to feel overwhelmed, take a step back, let go of the overwhelming feelings, and think of something that makes you smile. Remember, you can make a difference if you choose to.
