What things make you feel happy and content? (Lifestyle changes/habbits)

[Anonymous]

I have been feeling really content the last couple of days, even though I have deadlines. I can't work out why.

I've narrowed it down to: Eating vegetables for lunch, wearing more comfortable clothes, having probiotic yogurt over cereal instead of milk, a new conditioner that works really well and I can just leave it natural.

It could just be hormones though.

Does anyone else have mood changes like this? What do you think causes it for you?

I break it down to eating very well (almost vegetarian and organic), I workout 1-3 times a week, smoke ??and drink, I get outside and experience the outdoors everyday unless I have midterms to study for. Even though I get fuckin stressed for tests I stay happy everyday cuz how can you not?!? Life is fuckin amazing! Mind power is the most important factor in making anything work. Think happy, be happy.

Sitting home and reading on my couch makes me pretty happy.

Well it depends on the person but for me personally it's as simple as a mind shift and switching and controlling my feelings ,thoughts and energy. I practice this by mediating on a daily basis. I'm actually also in a place right now where I have deadlines and lots of exams coming up but just by forcing myself to think positively and by meditating I'm content and in control again.

I'm glad you're feeling okay with the deadlines! What sort of meditation do you do?

[XRabbitHeartX]

I simply sit for about 20 minutes in silence and then I just try and think about nothing and focus on my breathing. I also do what they call "body scan mediation" before I sleep at night. I lie down in my bed and focus on my body parts. I start from my toes and go upwards, focusing intently on each part while focusing on my breathing as well.

Oooh, that sounds a bit like self-hypnosis. You're patient to be able to do that for 20 minutes. Thank you for taking your time to respond.

ever since this past Friday, since I switched from, carryout/high carb and high sugar food to veggies fruit and salad (also fish) I have felt a lot more happier and I guess that's why (:

[Asker]

Lol same. I switched my lunch to veggies and for some reason I feel really content. I hope it lasts!

I heard that chicken and turkey are meant to help your brain make a happy chemical.

Being around my baby bro who is 7 cheers me up. He always appreciates me. I love listening to music, working out, watching a fav movie or tv show. Also chatting with someone who is fun and jeeps a convo solid.
