Many of us have started to focus on getting to the next level because of societal expectations and are failing to be happy and mindful at the present moment. It is essential to boost happiness, and one can start with small but effective habits, like practicing gratitude by taking a moment each day to reflect on what we are thankful for. Engaging in physical activity, even a short walk, can lift our mood by releasing endorphins. Staying connected with loved ones and making time for meaningful social interactions is key, as strong relationships contribute to long-term happiness. Additionally, focusing on mindfulness and being present at the moment—whether through meditation or simply slowing down—can reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. Small changes like these, when practiced regularly, can make a big difference in our happiness. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/ways-to-increase-happiness-huberman-lab/
I like the idea of building small habits and over time they become bigger, I think we often neglect the small things because they don't feel fulfilling enough, however they are needed to get us to reach the bigger goals. @heera72
Howdy, just have been working mostly, I've joined a couple social clubs which have been nice. Things are overall good, I'm keen for my trip coming up soon, otherwise just waiting to get back to uni in March. What about you? @tyme
That's kind of you. It's been kinda hectic since then actually. A bunch of stuff has happened, thou I have coped with it well. Just gearing up for my trip this week and once I get back, just looking forward to getting back to uni. Wbu? @tyme
I have a lot of uncertainty at the moment, but I'm at peace with the decision i have made to move on from something I invested a lot of time and energy in @PengTing . I can't go into it too much as it may compromise my anonymity, but I'm in a good place.
I am just so grateful for every opportunity - good or bad. It's made me who I am. I just need to keep going.
This is where I am at this moment. Sitting with uncertainty, but feeling okay about it.
All the best with your trip and hope you will feel all refreshed to start uni.
Glad you were able to make peace with the choice you have made. I can relate to how difficult that can be. I think that's an important step, sitting with uncertainty or uncomfortable thoughts, because I have been guilty of trying to get rid of them, sadly that does not work lol. I've come around to this idea more now.
Thanks, hopefully the uncertainty settles for you over the next couple weeks. @tyme
