How to be Happy NOW!

Ashley Azevedo

Happiness Hacks 

We’re talking HAPPINESS this week! Because really, who doesn’t want more happy?

Get Happy NOW!

Ever have one of those days where you’re just feeling down in the dumps but don’t know how to come out of it? Wouldn’t it be cool to have some quick happiness hacks that you could use anywhere to get back to happy?

If you want to feel happier NOW, wherever you are, with whatever you have, and whatever you’re doing, be sure to watch this week’s vlog!

 

1. Smile!

As easy and ridiculous as it sounds, your body language 100% effects your mood. So if you’re not feeling so good, fake it ’til you make it–throw on a smile, throw your shoulders back. Stand and act as if you just found out some amazing news or you were having the best day ever and you were super happy. Act that way right now! There have been so many studies that confirm that your body language actually effects your mood. So if you’re walking around looking like you’re sad and depressed and you’re hunched over, you’re gonna feel like crap! So change your body, change how you’re standing and put on a smile! Smile until you’re actually happy. Just do it! It might feel ridiculous but you’ll start feeling happier! 😀

 

2. Get Grateful.

Even if you only have 60 seconds, just take 60 seconds to just think of all the things in your life that you’re grateful for right now. All of the things that you have in your life that someone else might be wishing for, all of things in your life that if you woke up tomorrow morning and didn’t have them…that would be a HUGE bummer! You can make a physical list or just list things off in your head, but just take a minute to think of everything that you’re so grateful that you have in your life right now.

 

3. Reach out to a loved one.

Spend time with or reach out (call, text, something) a loved one in your life–a friend, family member. Someone that you can reach out to that you know just talking to them is going to make you happy. Someone who when you talk to, you just feel good. Reach out to that person!

 

4. Change your thought pattern.

Whatever you’re thinking right now, clearly it is NOT working if you’re not happy. So, take a minute to stop, realize what your thoughts are, realize what you’re focusing your attention on, and shift it. Shift it to something happier, something more positive. The more you can get in the habit of realizing what your thought pattern is, the more you can change it and the happier you’re gonna be!

 

5. Move your body.

Surprise, surprise–I know! Get out and get moving. Move your body! It doesn’t have to be anything intense, it doesn’t have to be crazy. Literally, you could just go out and take a walk. Just take a walk! Do something to get your blood flowing, get your body moving and I promise that you’re gonna feel better.

 

Wishing you an amazing week filled with so much HAPPINESS!

 

Xoxo

3 things to *STOP* doing if you want real results 3 things to *STOP* doing if you want real results

1. Excessive cardio.
Cardio is huge for your ♥️ health+ is a necessary PART of an overall program, but it doesn’t need to be excessive. We’ve been conditioned to think cardio is the end all be all for a ‘toned’ look or to lose weight but excessive cardio can actually do more damage than good. Knowing how to fit it into your overall program is key. 

2. Thinking every workout has to be killer.
Having days of varying intensities + being able to actually listen to + work with your body is key. Not every workout has to leave you drenched in sweat + totally depleted to be effective. In fact, focusing on only high intensity workouts could be messing with your progress, your consistency + your ability to recover.

3. Listening to your gf’s brother’s uncle on the workout that’s best for YOU. 
Stop listening to all of the outside advice on what worked for certain people + focus on what works + feels good for YOU. Every body is different + what works for someone else might not work for you. Find someone who has experience working with all different types of bodies + goals who can guide you.

One of the most underrated exercises… WALKING. One of the most underrated exercises…

WALKING. People always write it off because it’s not high intensity or super fun + sexy, and it might feel like you aren’t doing much but walks have HUGE benefits—especially with so many of us sitting so much more than we’re designed to. They can help improve not only your physical health, but your mental health, your mood, etc….AKA it’ll make you feel better, every time.

They’re also a great starting point if you haven’t been exercising regularly but want to start.

Don’t discount what a good walk can do 🚶🏻‍♀️

On those days you just don’t wanna show up…or On those days you just don’t wanna show up…or you wanna quit mid-workout…

What are you FOCUSING on? Where are your thoughts? Focusing on the feel good after effects are going to get you much further than focusing on the current suck of the moment.

It gets easier the more you do it. Just keep redirecting those thoughts + finding ways to enjoy the moment.
