10 Proven Ways to Make Your Heart Feel Full of Love and Happiness
Focus on activities that help you feel in sync with the world.

Your heart is the center of love, joy, and happiness. When you feel full of love and happiness, it's like your world has expanded. You're able to see more possibilities in your life and the people around you. If you're feeling a little empty or lonely right now, don't worry! There are plenty of things you can do to restore that loving feeling in your chest.
Be grateful.
- Be grateful for the things you have
- Be grateful for the people in your life
- Be grateful for the opportunities you have
- Be grateful for the things you can do
- Be grateful for the things you can't do
- Be grateful for all that has happened, good and bad
Practice self-compassion.
Self-compassion is the ability to be kind to yourself, to be gentle and understanding with yourself. It’s not about being selfish or self-indulgent; it’s about treating yourself with care and kindness when you need it most. This can help you feel more loved and supported during difficult times in your life, which will make it easier for you to cope with challenges and grow from them.
Self-compassion is also useful because if we don't treat ourselves well, chances are no one else will either—and that's something we can all benefit from!
Do things you love with people you enjoy.
You can be happy doing things you love, and you can also be happy doing things that don't make your heart feel full of love. Try something new! It's totally possible. You just have to find something that interests you, then do it with people who share your interests. And if that doesn't work? Well then maybe it's time for a change of scenery...
Celebrate yourself and what you've accomplished -- however small!
When you accomplish a goal, no matter how big or small, celebrate! You are your best supporter and cheerleader. If you don't celebrate your small victories, then it is hard for you to reach for bigger things because your mindset starts to become negative.
Celebrate with friends and family as well as yourself! These people will always be there for you when things get tough or if something goes wrong. Let them know how much they mean to you by being there when they need someone in their corner fighting their battles with them.
Celebrate with the world! Post on social media that "I did it!" or tell someone at work about what has happened because word of mouth is the best way to spread smiles around the globe -- even if it's only online :)
Remind yourself of your strengths and talents.
Imagine you're sitting on a bench and looking out over the ocean at sunrise. You're feeling relaxed and happy, but suddenly a wave of sadness washes over you, leaving a heavy feeling in your chest. What can help?
The answer is as close as your heart! Reminding yourself of what makes it beat is one way to banish negative feelings and fill yourself with love, happiness, peace and joy. How do you do this? It's simple: write down all the things that make up who you are—your strengths, talents and character traits. These could include being loyal or generous; having good manners; being funny or clever; having compassion for others; loving nature or animals...the list goes on forever! The more specific these are (e.g., "I'm kind" instead of "I'm nice"), the better they will work for this exercise because they'll be more meaningful to you than general statements like "I'm smart." Then try writing down three spots where these traits have helped others in some way—you might surprise yourself by how many times this happens! Finally ask yourself what else those qualities could lead towards (e.g., helping others feel appreciated) before listing at least two other ways these attributes help keep your heart full of love inside."
Reconnect with childhood passions.
Reconnecting with childhood passions is one of the best ways to feel more love and happiness in your life. These interests may include anything from sports to music, or even more esoteric subjects like astronomy.
In order to reconnect with these passions, you must first identify what they are. A good place to start is by looking at old photos or videos that document your childhood. You might also want to ask your parents or other loved ones what they remember about your interests back then. Another option is to look through old journals, letters, drawings and so on that were created during this time period (or even before). Once you have identified some possible answers for yourself—and/or confirmed them with others—it will be much easier for you to reconnect with those things in order to find fulfillment in life once again!
Connect with others.
Connecting with others who understand you and support your dreams can help you feel better about yourself. If you're feeling alone or isolated, reach out to friends who are in a similar place. If you have a group of friends that you feel comfortable around, connect with them more often. If your partner is supportive of what's important to you and helps make your dreams come true, hold onto him/her!
Focus on activities that help you feel in sync with the world.
It can take time to feel in sync with the world. For some people, it might be as simple as spending time in nature; for others, it’s feeling connected with other people or connecting with their inner child/higher self/spiritual self. Whatever it is that helps you feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself is what will make your heart feel full.
Express yourself creatively.
- Listen to or make music. Music is a great way to express yourself and connect with others. Even if you're not a musician, there are other creative ways of making music: singing in the shower, dancing around your living room or recording yourself playing an instrument can all be forms of self-expression.
- Write poetry or short stories. Writing is another way of expressing yourself creatively and communicating your feelings in written form makes them more concrete than simply daydreaming about them—so it's possible to take those thoughts even further one day!
- Create art. If you love art but aren't sure what kind of artist you want to be yet, try out different mediums while also exploring different styles (and don't forget that there are many ways besides painting that involve using paint). You may find some surprising avenues where your creativity can flourish while also giving voice to some emotions inside yourself that were previously hard for others understand how they feel but now know how they look online at home alone late at night when everyone else
