Happiness is a choice. No matter how many lifestyle trends are
discussed, the choice to be happy remains with you as a person. Jumia Travel,
the leading online travel agency, shares 4 lifestyle trends that make you
happier.
Hygge
This is a Scandanavian lifestyle trend that is basically about
achieving coziness in everyday life. In essence, it is about taking pleasure
from the presence of gentle, soothing things and choosing to ignore things that
might be annoying or emotionally overwhelming. It is basically about 'cutting
the clutter' from your life and finding solace in contentment and your general
well-being. Hygge is indeed a soothing trend that helps you appreciate the
little things and makes you happier. The Hygge trend typically involves:
finding comfort in and enjoying everyday rituals; making use of warm lighting
to leverage their warming and comforting effect; establishing relaxation zones
in your home; embracing old and imperfect things while trying to find creative
ways to make them useful; and uncluttering your home to make it more
stress-free and mess-free.
Spending Less Time on Devices
It is important to spend less time building a life in the
virtual world and more time doing so in real time. No matter how good you are
at networking and meeting new people on social media, you still need to develop
tangible relationships with these people if you want to make anything out of
your networking efforts. In addition, letting pictures of what your friends and
colleagues have or are doing depress you because you think you don't have or
are not doing any better, is such a masochistic way to live, when you can be
out there meeting new people, living your life and having your own experiences
to share. It is not so much about trying to live up to the standard of your
friends or colleagues, but about taking charge of your life and defining your
own standards.
Do Something Kind
Doing things for people or communities can be a great way to
boost your mood. Being kind is actually one of the major things that bring
people joy. Researchers found that kindness improves the way we perceive
others, and when an individual does something spontaneously to help others it
can positively change their whole attitude.
Exercising
Exercise is another great way to boost your mood and this
manifests in how good you feel about yourself and your body after you have
completed a good workout. This is mainly because the body releases endorphin
during exercise, which in turn makes you feel happy. The best part of
exercising is that you don't need a gym membership to do it, all you need is to
just remain active throughout the day – jog a little, walk around or basically
just find any excuse to get your joints moving, and find ways to incorporate
some kind of activity into your daily routine, rather than just living a
sedentary life.
