Everyday Bliss: Simple Strategies for Mental Wellbeing

Are you stuck in a rut of trudging through the week only looking forward to the weekend? If you're not finding little moments of happiness in your daily routine, you're missing out on countless opportunities for everyday bliss. Here’s how you can mindfully seek out the blissful bits and you can shine a brighter light on your own life and those around you.

Spread Kindness

Don't wait for blissful moments to find you. Send happiness and peace into the world yourself. Do a short meditation focused on funneling compassion into the universe. Go out and smile at strangers. Challenge yourself to compliment five people today. Put forth positive energy and it will come back to you.

Enjoy Simple Nourishment

Seek bliss and contentment in your everyday routines. Even the busiest days should give you time to eat and drink. Mindfully savor the refreshing taste of a cold glass of water. Indulge in fresh produce and nourishing treats, taking a moment to give thanks for the abundance available to you.

Change the Scenery

If you're struggling to feel blissful in the confines of your regular routine, change things up. Rearrange the furniture in your home. Eat outside instead of in the dining room. Take your laptop into an empty meeting room with a view instead of working at your desk. Simply moving things around can give you a new sense of appreciation.

Embrace Quiet Moments

Ease difficult days by taking mindful moments for yourself. Do a short meditation. Get a quick tarot reading. Listen to a few minutes of soothing music. You don't need to sink a whole afternoon into an elaborate activity. Find ways to incorporate joy into your life with brief breaks.

Keep a Gratitude Journal

Set aside a special journal for writing down things that you're thankful for. Challenge yourself to list at least one thing every day that makes you feel grateful. Over time, this will train your brain to seek out positive things that you appreciate in your surroundings all the time.

Look Forward

Think about things that you can look forward to in the future or appreciate in the now. Stop looking backward at regrets that you can't change. If you're having trouble seeing some of the beautiful things on the horizon, a psychic hotline may be able to help.

Seek the Shadow Self

Finding bliss in your everyday activities doesn't mean silencing your shadow self. You can embrace both the light and dark while still appreciating the blessings and gifts around you. Take time to explore and accept your shadow side. This is where your struggles and weaknesses lie. Don't stuff them away. Accept them as part of yourself and find contentment with both aspects of your personality.

Finding bliss in the everyday is a practice that will improve all aspects of your life. You don't need to radically change your situation. Simply find fresh ways to appreciate what you have.
