How to Cheer Things Up with Healthy Lifestyle Choices!
I don’t know a thing about you …
but I bet you desire happiness in life.
Having a bright, cheerful life is an achievable goal for everyone.
However, that being said, it is not easy to achieve for everyone …
For some people it requires a little extra work to get life into balance.
Happiness is a Battle for Many
There are unfortunately, many that battle stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Others are scarred by trials in life. And add to this a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, an unhealthy diet, and virtually no exercise and it becomes quite obvious why there is no smiling going on in this group of people.
If you fall into the previously mentioned group, you’ll be ‘happy’ to know there is help to cheer things up.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices are a Must
Living a healthy lifestyle goes hand-in-hand with your level of happiness in life. Your physical health affects not only your personal self-image, but also your mental health. And your spiritual condition directs many of the decisions you make in regards to priority and balance in your life.
Resources are around every corner when it comes to learning about diet, fitness, nutrition, and building a positive self-image. These things all impact how you feel. Study up on the areas you are weak in and take steps to improve. Keeping them in balance is key to a happier you.
The state of your physical health, mental and emotional health, and spiritual health all work together. Making healthy choices creates a positive cycle so that as you become happier you are also encouraged to make healthier choices.
Consider Your Spiritual Condition
God created us to be happy people that are filled with a joy and love for life. With God we can be more than just happy but find true joy. Choosing to focus on all the good God has provided in our lives can help overcome a sense of unhappiness. There is no greater help to rise above negative circumstances, than the help that comes from God.
“You will show me the path of life: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
– Psalm 16:11
Your next step? To take what you’ve just learned and start making healthy lifestyle choices in your life. Step-by-step begin to replace the negatives with the positives. Work to keep things in balance and you’ll find it much easier to be a happy person. Seek God and ask for help and enjoy a life full of laughter and happiness.
May your life be balanced, happy, and full of growing prosperity!
God bless you –

Happiness – How to Get Happy with 7 Quick and Easy Tips to Brighten Your Spirit!
Discover the Happy Life!
Happiness is possible for everyone. Yet, like most things in life it does not come automatically. Have you been through some tragic events in life that seem to have robbed your happiness? Even after the experiences are past, your mind can be filled with negative thoughts that leave no room for happiness.
Do you want to be happy? Then I’ll be honest with you, it will require some work on your part. But believe me, you are worth the effort!
If you want to be happy, you first have to choose to be.
Once you decide to live happy, then start acting like it. Some individuals are naturally more cheerful and just happy-go-lucky all the time. 🙂
On the other side of the spectrum, it can be an almost battle for others to even crack a smile. 🙁
Regardless of where you fall on the happiness scale, these quick and easy tips are sure to brighten your spirit.
How to Get Happy with 7 Quick & Easy Tips:
1.) Be a Thankful Person. Start and end your day giving thanks. Always be mindful of the good in your life and let that fill your thoughts. It is easier to be happy if you are a thankful person.
2.) Monitor Your In Take. What do you watch, read, and listen to? What you take in, is what you are going to put out.
You’ll have to admit it is hard to be happy and upbeat if you are constantly watching the ‘doom and gloom’ on the news. So take in things that are going to lift your spirit. We all know the right song can put a skip in your step. A funny movie will put a smile on your face.
3.) Live a Healthy Lifestyle. Your physical health plays a key role in your mental health and personal self-image. There is much taught on diet, exercise, nutrition, sleeping habits, etcetera. These things are all vital to how we feel. They must be kept in balance to make it easier to live happy.
4.) Discover Your Passion. So what are you passionate about? Passion gives an extreme power boost to your spirit. Discover what you are passionate about and pursue it.
The painter must paint. The writer must write. Doing what you are passionate about in life brings great happiness (to you and others).
5.) Help Others. Look around you and notice the needs of others. Find ways to help them. Learn to serve. As you look outside of yourself and start helping others, you’ll experience long lasting happiness.
Put some cheerfulness and generosity into someone else’s life. Like they say, ‘what goes around comes around’.
6.) Keep Things in Perspective. If today is not feeling so happy, just remember that this too shall pass. Tomorrow is a new day. We all go through seasons and the storms of life blow through. That is just life. But after the clouds blow past, the sun shines again. So stay determined to keep your happiness.
7.) Tap Into the Source of Happiness. Seek God and His presence daily. He is the abundant source that offers more than happiness, but joy everlasting. When you have a relationship with Him, Jesus says the kingdom of God lives within you. (Luke 17:21)
When we tap into the power He has put within us, our faces should be so lighted up that we give the impression to everybody that we just came into possession of some great, good fortune that made us extremely happy! Like a poor person who struggled all their life that has now become heir of a great fortune.
God’s children ought to look happy.
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.”
– Philippians 4:4
It’s no secret, happiness is one of the great essentials to living the good life and it is to be realized here and now. Love, laugh, smile, dance, and be glad often. It is possible for everyone to have peace within themselves and enjoy true happiness.
May you continue to experience a life of happiness and growing prosperity!
Cheers,
Brenda

Tips on Taking Care of Your Spirit, Mind, and Body
Self-esteem plays a vital role in success. Don’t let a dwarfed self-image hold you back from being all that you are capable of. How you see yourself has to do with the condition of your spirit, mind, and body. You are a package deal and you need to boost your self-esteem with healthy lifestyle choices daily.
It’s no secret that what we see when we look in the mirror effects our self-esteem. If the body reflected is at its ideal weight, with a clear complexion, well groomed, and dressed well, it is much easier to go through the day with powerful confidence to take on the world.
Yet, when the opposite is reflected, not only does our self-esteem plunge, but there is usually the stress of carrying around physical and emotional pain from the present condition of our body.
Take care of your body and make healthy choices on a daily basis.
Eat a healthy balanced diet, exercise and eliminate the intake of harmful substances. We are surrounded with a wealth of information on how to feed and exercise our body for optimum performance. No more excuses here. Just start where you are and make baby steps daily so that it becomes a lifestyle. The reward is worth it.
Renew your mind daily.
Monitor what you watch and listen to. What you put in is what you’ll get out. If you fill it with stress, fear, and all that is failing, you’ll experience that in your life. Fill your mind with positive, uplifting, words, thoughts, and pictures to make that become your reality.
In Proverbs 23:7 it says; ‘As a man thinks in his heart, so is he’. And this leads me to the next point, the condition of your spirit or heart.
Guard your heart.
Your dominating thoughts get planted in your heart and become your reality. This is so important! Decide how you want your life to look, be, and feel. Then play that movie of your desired life in your head daily. Choose to fill your mind with healthy thoughts and images. Don’t forget to speak them and you’ll not only help block out the negative thoughts that want to trip you up, you’ll discover your confidence begin to rise.
Case in point: Healthy lifestyle choices give us the opportunity to operate at maximum performance. Eat right, exercise, monitor what you watch, listen to, and speak. Learn to love and laugh often. Do the best with what you have and begin where you are. Soon you’ll uncover the powerful, real you inside yourself as you boost your self-esteem.
May your healthy lifestyle choices bring you a life full of growing prosperity!
Be blessed – Cheers,
