6 Ways to Create More Joy in Your Life, Vol. 479, December 6, 2018
- Get in touch with what is meaningful to you. If you have a passion or purpose in life, focus on it every day. If you have people in your life that are ‘taking you out of your own life,’ it is time to set some boundaries and learn to say the word ‘no’ to allow you to do those things that matter to you.
- Hang out with people that are fun and interesting. People that share your interests and passions in life. Too often people spend their time with people who drain their energy being too needy, or with people that abuse or ignore them. These people are of no use to use and even a drag to you, so let them go.
3. Engage in activities that increase your dopamine, your pleasure hormone:
A) Get in the sunlight to get your vitamin D3
B) Increase your activity level to keep your body strong and flexible – find things you enjoy
C) Yoga
D) Meditation or self-hypnosis
E) Pleasurable music
F) Eat a healthy diet including omega 3s, lean proteins, and plenty of colorful veggies and fruits
G) Drink plenty of clean, clear water
4. Find time to play, be it group athletics or independently done activities. Grown-ups forget that life is to be enjoyed and don’t spend nearly enough time playing.
5. Spend time in contemplation. If you have a spiritual practice, do it every day. Few things are more helpful than our spiritual practices to allow us to know that there is more then what we can see in the material world.
6. Do something nice for someone, because that always makes the giver feel wonderful. It doesn’t need to be anything big, just a little assistance or a nice gesture is enough.
Life is short enough, and as such, we need to make the time to do those things that bring joy to our lives. My father used to tell me that “Life is to be enjoyed.” I can tell you that he loved his dental profession, his tennis matches, his golf games, his racketball games and square dancing with my mother. He also enjoyed going out to eat and going to the movie theater.
I believe he taught me what makes a great life and I invite you to do the same. Though I can also tell you that he loved his sweets – ice cream, chocolate candy and all kinds of cakes. Even dentists can have sweet tooth’s you know. So, enjoy each day and fill it up with meaningful activities including those that will keep you healthy and full of wellbeing.
