You learn more about someone at the end of a relationship than at the beginning.

Relationship: Hello

Divorce: Hey

Being in a relationship is a full-time job; don’t apply if you’re not ready to commit.

We all dream of living a careless life, devoid of brooding and depression. However, there is always something out there coming out very unexpectedly and making us stressed out. And we forget what does a happy life feels like. All in all, every one of us just fiercely desires to be happy and successful. That’s all that we need – seeing our family delighted, having a successful job, gaining more experience, and the list goes on.

But what exactly can make our lives happier? Let’s look atsimple life-changing habits that we all know of but ignore quite often.

1. Do not complain about things
We humans skilfully integrate complaining and nagging into our daily lives by constantly whining like some naughty kids.

Weather, queues, traffic jams, people around – we complain about everything that exists and doesn’t even exist. We keep going with it because it makes our lives easier, but not happier! It is like finding an excuse instead of actually going and getting what you need. Once you understand the way how this dire wheel of complaining worsens your life, you will be able to develop a more positive perspective about events and people, as well as become grateful for what you luckily have.

2. Let go of the past
Just stop being the victim of the past, instead focus on your here and the now. You can’t undo any things or take your words back, however, you have the opportunity to welcome joy back in your life and make your today better.

There is no point in keeping all the negative memories or holding grudges because in the general picture of your current state it has no sense. Maybe, it was something really worrisome and horrible yesterday but it does not mean you have to keep going with it today. Leaving all of the past unpleasant experiences behind and moving forward with enthusiasm and hope are the key for a happy being. If this one habit you can master, you will see your happiness-meter go up.

3. Change your surrounding
If you are that lucky social butterfly who has an amazing relationship with your family and friends, your life is full of beans for sure. But if you feel like you are not that delightful as you would like to be, probably that’s because of your environment.

Sometimes the people we communicate with, meet or even date affect our state of happiness more than we could ever imagine. And if you notice some detrimental addictive situations with any of your besties, it is time to change your surroundings. Give yourself and your close relatives or friends a little break and see how you feel. This period will let you understand who brings positivity and happiness to you and who is not worth your attention and dedication at all.

4. Smile more
Smile is a physical response of your body expressing happy and enjoyable moments that you experience. And if you try some smiling practice out, you can actually generate even more happiness to your daily life and reduce negativity. That’s an easy trick, however, very effective.

You can simply wear a real sincere smile, not fake or strange one, thus maintaining an elevated mood and well-being for the whole day or week. You shouldn’t be feeling like a psycho because it is really healthy and funny experience that might make you more adaptable to stress situations or some hardships. In fact, you will be better able to pursue the things you want if you wear that genuine smile on your face. This should be actually the first habit you can start working on.

Train yourself to become as happier as possible out of small and sometimes unreasonable things, then the positive energy inside of you will know no boundaries. So, more smiling, less worrying.

5. Spend time in nature
Last but not least on this list is the habit of spending time in nature. Thousands of people will tell you that it is the most efficient advice of all because our mood is closely dependable on environmental changes. Respectively, becoming closer to nature will help you soothe anxiety and relieve stress. If you are surrounded by wild animals near the swamp or river, you will 100% feel really refreshed and rejuvenated. And there is no much time to it, just 15-20 minutes a day in the fresh air and you will start feeling relaxed. Either after long and difficult working hours or nerve-wracking studying – what could be better for resetting your body and mind after this if not nature?

In any case, you have to remember that you are the only one responsible for saving the positive atmosphere and maintaining happiness in your life. Nobody else can help you out. If you find that harmony inside of you by following the above-mentioned tips, you will be on cloud nine. Accepting reality and stop regretting or connecting with new people and being closer to nature. Whatever path you choose, these habits will unavoidably lead you to happiness.

While some marathon runners raise money for their favorite causes, Shemaiah Weekes asked his friends and followers to pledge random acts of kindness. When he finally crossed the finish line after 26.2 miles, his community had committed to perform more than 100 kind acts.

“I’m hoping this will spread a wave of kind acts which goes far beyond those who make direct pledges,” says Weekes.

He came up with the idea after taking the GGSC’s free online course, The Science of Happiness, which invites students to cultivate well-being skills like kindness, empathy, compassion, and mindfulness. And he’s not alone: Many other students have found that they can’t help but share their happiness journey with others.

That often starts with family. Last November, Isaac Leong designed a Thanksgiving tree poster with colored leaves listing the things his family was grateful for. He also made five gratitude letters shaped like hearts—and hand-delivered them (along with chocolate) to the people who had made his life better.

After learning about gratitude journaling in the course, Jolane Tomhave now texts her daughter almost every day with a list of things she’s grateful for—like crisp mountain air, her feet, or peanut butter. And her daughter does the same. “It is so much fun and we both feel good doing it,” she says.

But no one can feel good all the time, of course. The science of happiness teaches us how to boost the positivity in our life with practices like gratitude and awe, but it’s also useful when things get tough. A 62-year-old who took our course says that they learned to be mindful of all their emotions—not just the good ones—and to listen more empathically and offer better apologies in their relationships.

“I no longer avoid conflict,” the student says. “My relationships have become more honest and open.”

Another student had a similar experience. “I no longer worry about failing a relationship by experiencing confrontation and conflict,” she says. “At the same time, my confrontations have been less volatile and distressing simply because being self-compassionate and forgiving has made me less intent on swaying others to my viewpoint.”

At work, Olivier Marchesin was struggling with too much conflict. After watching his company become more and more corporate—prioritizing profits over people—he became unhappy, angry, and aggressive. That led to countless arguments with his colleagues.

But after working on a forgiveness practice, he found a way to drop the stress and anger while still holding on to his values and fighting to put people first. He started to feel more peaceful and reflective, which rubbed off on those he interacted with. “Many people in our head office told me they felt the change in me,” he says.

Student Shannon Corsi has realized she can help the people around her in an even more deliberate way. When someone she knows seemed depressed, she offered all the mood-boosting assistance she could think of: She gave her a hug and a compliment, showed her some funny videos, and cooked her a healthy breakfast—which seemed to change the whole course of the person’s day. “I know I can influence myself in this manner, as well,” she reflects.

Happiness is contagious, after all. When you help others, you often end up feeling better, too. And when you want other people to change, sometimes the best thing you can do is to change yourself.

Everyone has a different definition of success and what it means to them. Some seek wealth, others seek a loving relationship and for a few people, success is about leaving a legacy and making an impact on the world. Whether the impression that we leave on the world is large or small, everything positive that we help others experience is of equal value.

For those individuals who really want to dedicate themselves to helping others or making a difference, the following methods can be used to achieve these goals. Hopefully, they will inspire or help you to leave your own impactful legacy.

1. Consider an Altruistic Profession
One of the most common ways for people to make a difference is by adopting a profession that allows them to help others or change the world. There are a host of different jobs out there that allow you to do this, covering all manner of different skill sets and proficiencies so that no matter what you’re interested in, there is probably an altruistic job for you.

The most common choices in this category are healthcare and public service jobs. Doctors, nurses and social carers all dedicate their lives to helping others when they are at their most vulnerable which no doubt makes a difference. Similarly, firemen save lives every day and teachers live their lives educating the next generation to help further humanity. Even beyond these choices, engineers and scientists continually develop ways of generating energy without damaging the planet, whilst politicians aim to introduce policies that help millions to live easier, more comfortable lives. All of these positions all individuals to leave a lasting impact on the world and on the people around them.

2. Complete a Daily Random Act of Kindness
For those that won’t be able to change career comfortably or don’t feel that they have the aptitude for the role that they dream of doing, there are still other ways you can help others. Random acts of kindness are by far the easiest way to bring a little bit of warmth and happiness into the lives of others and, if you spent your whole life doing this, there’s no doubt that you will help tens of thousands of people.

Random acts of kindness can vary greatly depending on the situation. They can be simple behaviors like helping an old lady cross the road or carrying some shopping for someone, as well as kind words like telling a stranger that you like their outfit to boost their confidence. Often, random acts of kindness, whilst seemingly small, can have some of the biggest impacts when delivered to the right people.

3. Charitable Giving
Finally, we have doing our bit and giving to charity. If your financial situation allows it, regularly giving to charity can really add meaning to your own life whilst helping or saving countless others. In Islam, they call this Sadaqah Jariyah, the idea of giving continuous charity to support those most vulnerable throughout your life. By taking time and resources out of your own life to help others, it can bring a positive element to everything you do, helping boost your mood on a day-to-day basis.

Additionally, charitable giving allows you to support whatever cause you are truly passionate about. There are charities out there helping almost every type of person from almost every type of background and in almost every location, assisting you in making a difference where you really want to.

Whilst these three techniques are not the only ways for an individual to bring meaning or impact on their life, they are some of the most common and effective.

Hopefully, this has inspired you to find your own way to help others throughout your life.

Sometimes we can lose our way in life and wonder what it’s all about. We can get stuck in situations and relationships that don’t fulfill our needs and make us feel unhappy, work in jobs that make us dread the sound of the alarm clock on a Monday morning, and deal with health issues that destroy our self-confidence.

If you are stuck in a rut and don’t want to be a repeat of the last few years, here are ways to drastically change your life for the better.

Move To Another Country
One of the most significant and most drastic changes you can make to your life is moving to another country.

If you have always wanted to travel the world and embark upon a new adventure, do some research and decide where in the world you would like to go. If you plan to live in a new country, you will need to have plenty of financial backing to support you or secure employment that can sustain your lifestyle.

Perhaps you could choose a destination you have visited before and loved or a country where you have friends or family who could help make your move go more smoothly.

Once you have decided where to go, you will need to arrange accommodation, whether it be staying in a hotel for a few days or with friends and then a rental property. You must plan this in advance. You will also need to arrange flights and transfers, buy some local currency and ensure you have a credit card you can use in the new destination until you set up a bank account.

When traveling to another country, it is vital that you get travel insurance to cover you in the event of any medical emergencies. Get online and find a suitable policy from one of the best travel medical insurance companies.

Find Faith
Sometimes a person can lose their way in life and lack direction. This can result in feelings of loneliness and hopelessness.

Finding religion can sometimes help a person to feel that life has meaning and purpose. It can give a person focus and help them to meet like-minded companions.

Change Your Career
If you hate your job and feel that your life could be improved with a change of career – change it!

Often a change of job can transform your life and make you feel more fulfilled and happy. You may also meet a whole new set of friends or even your future partner. If your dream career requires you to have specific qualifications, partake in a night class or complete an online course in the required subject. If you can afford to throw your current job in, attend college or university full time or find a job at entry level in the area of interest. Some companies will pay for you to study while working for them so look into this.

Become Self Sufficient
If you are fed up living in the rat race and sick of consumerism, you could think about becoming self-sufficient. Live a simple life growing your own food, naturally fuelling your property, homeschooling your kids, and living off the land.

Escape Negativity
Relationships can become stagnant or even abusive. If you are in a relationship that makes you feel scared, alone, or worthless, now is the time to end it.

If you feel trapped, ask friends or family for their support. Perhaps live with them until you feel strong enough to stand on your own two feet. If you have children, try to ensure they are shielded from any negativity and do all communication with your partner in their absence.

Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
