making it complicated.

One of my biggest struggles in my day-to-day life is managing my priorities.
And by that, I mean I take stuff wayyyy too seriously. Car bill due? I’m thinking about it all day.
Carpet to vacuum? Also on my mental to-do list.
If you spend all your time prioritizing your responsibilities, you’re likely ignoring some things
that are very important to your life.
Like your Family, your Friends, your “YOU” time, etc.
Try out focusing on these 7 areas to see if you can
achieve a happier life.
Surround yourself with people who want to
be happy.
If you want to be happy, the fastest way is to
hang around with people who are happy. It
is time to distance yourself from emotional
vampires. Replace them with people who
genuinely care about you and want you to lead
a fulfilled life.
Start to forgive yourself and others.
It’s hard to be in a happy place when you’re
angry or holding on to guilt, frustration and
other negative emotions. If you’re holding
grudges, you’re actually hurting yourself more
than anyone else.
Get in charge of your health.
Have you allowed your weight or nutritional
wellness to get out of control? Happy people
are in charge of their health as much as they
can be. Over time, you’ll feel powerful because
you’ll know that you can govern your health.
Learn how to delegate.
Your happiness could be as close as asking
someone else to help you. By delegating some
of the tasks to others, the load is lightened
and room is made for cheerfulness.

Look at setbacks as opportunities to grow.
Setbacks in life happen. It’s how we deal
with them that sets us apart. If you have
something happen that sets you back, use
it as a chance to slow down and objectively
evaluate what’s going on in your life.
Focus on what’s important to you.
Are you living someone else’s life? Take a few
days and consider what you hold most dear
in life. Are your actions helping you get closer
to what’s important? By aligning your actions
with what you really want, you’ll find a truer
sense of happiness and purpose.
Schedule down time.
There’s a large movement afoot that causes
some people to believe that the busier they
are, the more important they are. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. While it’s
impossible to be in a laid-back state all the
time, you can start to schedule some “down
time” to just breathe.
To be honest, I still think about my bills
and responsibilities, but I try every day to
prioritize the things that are truly important.
And guess what – I’m still just as responsible
as I was before. The only difference now is
that I’m happier and the people around me
are happier too.
