\"7<\/a><\/p>\n

My last post on things I wished I knew a year ago has been one of the most personally rewarding posts I’ve had the pleasure of writing. It was a chance to get a few things off my chest (and perhaps help a few people?). I’ve gotten so many amazing tweets, emails and messages regarding that post and I’ve got to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who responded to it. It really means a lot to me that you read the stuff I write! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

One outcome of that post, is that it got me thinking of ways to pro-actively look to make yourself happy (rather than waiting for a year to find out \ud83d\ude42 ) and\u00a0I figured I should probably share those tips and “happiness shortcuts” with you too! This time – in the form of GIFs! \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Here’s goes…<\/p>\n

\n1.) Embrace your quirk!<\/strong> There’s something unique about you. The happiest (and most successful) people are those who have fully embraced it and even found a way to use this to their advantage. #EmbraceYourQuirk (Below are a few #Quirk-sters to show you real life examples…)<\/p>\n

2.) Celebrate yourself!<\/strong>\u00a0The tendency to be modest is (oddly enough) a celebrated virtue in society but it can sometimes be over-rated! You\u2019re fantastic and it\u2019s very important to constantly remind yourself of this! Not only does it feel good to get a pat on the back but it can provide you with that long term confidence boost you need when you start to doubt yourself.
\n\"7
\n <\/p>\n

3.) Ban all ‘Nay’-Sayers!<\/strong> Those people that keep telling you that “you’re not good enough” or that “you can’t make it” need to be banned. In these of Sweet Brown -AIN’T NOBODY GAT TIME FO’ DAT! (Still can’t believe that her name is actually Sweet Brown)
\n\"7
\n <\/p>\n

4.) Don’t waste too much time on regret.<\/strong> It\u2019s important to ensure you don\u2019t repeat the same mistakes but you shouldn’t let these mistakes define you! You\u2019re much more than mistakes you made. Learn quickly and move on.
\n\"7
\n <\/p>\n

5.) Don\u2019t take everything too seriously!<\/strong> Fair enough, some things are serious but there are way too many things we take too seriously that we don\u2019t need to – Someone\u2019s making noise on the quiet coach of the train? Dropped your shopping and cracked all your eggs? Lost your house keys? These things are inconsequential or easily replaced – identify the stuff to genuinely be stressed about and ignore all the others.
\n\"7
\n <\/p>\n

6.) Try something new as often as possible!<\/strong> Even when you think about this logically, it just makes sense. If you don\u2019t try new things, you\u2019re only opening yourself up to a limited range of options for your happiness and by opening yourself up to new opportunities, you\u2019re increasing your chances of finding even more things that make you happy! As long as you\u2019re sensible (i.e. safe) try as many new thing as you can!
\n\"7
\n <\/p>\n

7.) Travel more!<\/strong> Travel is so great to unwind and to take yourself out of a stressful situation and place\u00a0yourself in a situation that is more suited to your needs and wants. Feel like you need more sunshine in winter? TRAVEL. Feel like you need to be climbing mountains instead of climbing onto trains? TRAVEL. Feel like you want to see mountains, instead of mountains of paper? TRAVEL.
