Nine Tips for Changing Your Unhappy Life

unhappy life

If you are happy with your life, I applaud you and urge you to continue doing what you are doing. It is incredible to feel that way, I am so happy for you! This article is for anyone who doesn’t feel that same way. If you don’t feel happy right now, something has to change.

First things first; decide what your priorities are. What is most important to you? Is it your religion? Your family? Your degree? Whatever it is, your decisions must revolve around keeping your priorities straight. Now, with that in mind, here are nine tips to help you change your life.

 

Tip 1: Journaling Your Thoughts

You may have kept a diary as a teenager so that you could cope with your overwhelming adolescent emotions, but you can also do this as an adult. Buy a journal or diary where you can write down your thoughts each day. You may want to create a list of goals in your journal each morning. Alternatively, you might want to write in your diary each night. Whatever works best for you!

 

Tip 2: Consider Your Spirituality

It might be a good time to turn to spirituality. The concept of spirituality is different for everyone, and it might include attending traditional religious services, or you might want to seek alternative types of spirituality. You can find books and DVDs about spirituality at your local public library, or online. Many religions will even deliver a free Bible right to your door.

 

Tip 3: Set New Goals

If you feel like you’re not accomplishing enough in your life, try setting some new goals. Forget about New Year’s Resolutions – those rarely come to fruition. Set some SMART goals that can really be accomplished, and work hard to achieve them.

 

Tip 4: Daily Physical Activity

When you are living a sedentary lifestyle, it will change your body’s chemistry, affecting your mind. Less energy one day leads to even less the next. Find a way to enjoy additional physical activity on a daily basis by joining a local gym or getting involved in amateur sports. The first week or two might leave you feeling really sore, but that soreness will soon pass and become invigorating.

 

Tip 5: Lose Some Weight

If you are at a healthy weight, disregard this. There is a difference between being a healthy, plus-sized human and being obese. Obesity causes a myriad of health problems, and while eating a healthy diet and exercising can help you to lose weight, it is not always enough. You might want to consider getting a weight loss procedure, such as a gastric balloon. Stomach balloons are inflatable items that help the stomach to feel fuller so that you don’t want to eat large amounts of food. Pair that with some health coaching, and you’ll be on a good track.

 

Tip 6: Move to a New Location

If you love the snow, then you shouldn’t live in a warm climate year-round. Alternatively, if you despise cold weather, long winters will make you feel terrible. Moving to a new location may seem frightening, but it is one way to change your life completely. Also, it gives you the opportunity to start fresh in a new place with new people.

 

Tip 7: Begin to Socialize More

Rather than staying home most of the time, you can begin to socialize more by getting involved in community activities or enjoyable group hobbies. Look for clubs that you can join to learn about birds, postage stamps, or genealogy. Create a book club so that you can invite friends to your home to talk about the newest novel.

 

Tip 8: Avoid Accumulating Possessions

If you have a house filled with electronic gadgets and other items, then it is time to reduce the amount of possessions that you own. You may have gone into debt to pay for all of these things because you wanted to fill an emotional void, but by getting rid of the clutter, you can begin to focus on the items that really make you happy.

 

Tip 9: Change Your Career

When you are in a job that you hate for several hours a day, it can begin to drain you emotionally. Allowing work to cause you anger, anxiety, and depression is not okay. The career path that you selected when you were younger may no longer fulfill your needs, so you should think about your other employment options.
