Tips to Find Inner Happiness
And Live Your Best Life

Everyone just wants to be happy. However, in these unknown times, it can be really hard to find happiness. Many are overwhelmed with their whole work situation. Many have lost their jobs, while others are struggling to work from home, without any colleagues. Financially, many people are having trouble paying their bills. Mothers (and fathers) are forced to become teachers, as their children are stuck at home with their school work.
Despite that, there are ways to find inner happiness, no matter how much you are struggling. Here are some tips to help you find ways to be happier every day.
Surround yourself with those that you love
The best way to be happy is to spend time with those that you love. Even when you are stuck at home, you need to spend quality time with your family. Find things that you all enjoy doing together, like taking a walk around the park. You may want to have movie and game nights, to make life a little more exciting.
Too many people are stuck at home, but they aren't using this time to their advantage. Allow yourself time to forget about your worries and focus on what is important, which is your family.

And Happy People
No matter how happy you are, a pessimistic person can really affect your mood. Even a few minutes with someone who is complaining can really make you feel worse.
For this reason, you should only try to spend time with those who are happy. Joy and happiness are just as contagious as pessimism is. Make sure that you are spending plenty of time with those that lift you up!
Don't be afraid to cut out those who don't make you happy
There is nothing wrong with avoiding people who don't make you happy. If you are struggling to get along with someone, simply stay away for a while. If there is someone who is so pessimistic that he or she brings you down, find ways to keep your distance for a while.
Even if these people are family and friends, you need to focus on your happiness at this time. Cut ties, and you will find yourself in a much better place. Your mental wellbeing and happiness is much more important than worrying about someone's feelings that may get hurt.
Spend time doing things that make you happy

It is very important that you spend time doing things that make you happy. If you enjoy riding your bike, make it a point to get on your bike at least one or two times a week (if not more).
If you prefer reading a good book at night, make sure that you find a few minutes every evening to continue to work through your book pile. If you enjoy having plants in your life, have a few throughout your home to give you joy. Love animals? Find a furry friend to spend time with.
If you want to be happy, you need to surround yourself with those that you love. Spend time with people who bring you joy, and stay away from those that don't. Avoid pessimistic people because they will quickly bring you down. Then, you need to make sure that you are really spending quality time with those that you love. Go for walks together. Play board games. Watch movies together.
It is also important that you do things that make you happy. Spend time biking, reading, or even gardening if that is what makes you feel good. If you take more time for yourself and those that you love, you will find yourself feeling much better about everything.
