Any changes, no matter how small, can create moments of happiness. This is what psychiatrist Olga Orlova thinks, writes MedicForum.
The doctor gave simple tips to become happier. First, according to her, you need to try to get rid of fear – it is what keeps a person from achieving a dream: changing jobs, declaring love, traveling alone or jumping with a parachute. The doctor recommends that when anxiety and fear set in, think about the worst that could happen and ask yourself whether you can cope with it.
She also suggested bringing more passion into life – doing everything completely or not doing it at all. In addition, the doctor believes, you need to learn to love unconditionally, and she advises starting with yourself. You shouldn’t wait passively for someone to fill your existence with love, and you need to actively give love to yourself and others without expectations, without fear, Orlova is sure.
She also advises against comparing yourself with others – envy, resentment, and greed lead to poor health. It is better to focus on yourself and your own assets, the expert says, suggesting that you remind yourself every day to thank yourself for good deeds and achievements.
The doctor recommends dancing more – movement in general and uncontrolled dancing in particular release happiness hormones. In addition, according to the psychiatrist, it is worth getting out into nature more often, enjoying tranquility, walks in the forest, admiring the view from a mountain peak and sunset, and looking at the stars more often.
The doctor also advises helping others more. According to her, those who help people without expecting anything in return come closer to their own happiness than they previously could have imagined. The doctor also suggests sharing your knowledge with others, because the one who teaches something to others contributes to his own happiness, the specialist is sure.
She also recommended living in the present moment – neither being angry about the past, nor worrying about the future, but also always finding time for yourself and allowing yourself to sometimes be alone with your thoughts.
