Ouch! Again!

I always seem to be careless around the house with my feet. From an ankle sprain every year, to injuring my foot and getting diagnosed with Achilles tendonitis and dropping hard objects onto my foot and this time it’s getting the sole of my foot injured badly due to stepping hard on a tiny object in the middle of the night that the workers who are hear left behind (or it could be the Asianet internet guy who came to install the optic fibre connection for me as an upgrade).

I yelled out loudly as I stepped on it but didn’t think much of it for a while. It was Tuesday night that I felt it hurting and I had taken Wednesday off due to a bad cold & breathing issues. But it hurts me really badly now that I am using a pain relief spray on the sole of my foot to help me. I hope that the pain goes away in a day or so because it’s no fun at all. And I hope it’s not a fracture. Anything but a fracture.

I have my fingers crossed that it heals soon.

What Does It Take To Truly Find Happiness?

Everybody’s trying to answer that question, no matter their background or personality. Happiness is a goal for all of us, and that’s a wonderful thing. It’s something that should unite us in a world full of things which seem to divide us. Whilst we all have different objectives in life, there are certain things that can bring happiness for all of us. So, what does it take to truly find happiness? Let’s talk about that.

A healthy lifestyle.

You should try to adopt a healthy lifestyle if you want to truly find happiness. Mainly, that means eating and drinking well. This might not sound like a revolutionary path to happiness, but keeping yourself physically healthy in this way will also keep you mentally healthy. And a strong emotional state will really help you to feel happier on a daily basis. Think about the food you eat because a healthy gut leads a healthy mind. You should be focusing on eating nutritious meals; get plenty of protein, iron, calcium, and carbohydrates from your food. Fruit, vegetables, and whole grains are examples of foods that have more natural goodness than many manufactured options out there.
Sleeping well is important too. So few people seem to appreciate that their mental states could be improved if they started getting enough rest every night. Sleep deprivation can exacerbate feelings of depression, stress, and anxiety. It also negatively affects your physical health. There are some things that a cup of coffee can’t solve. If you want to improve your emotional wellbeing, then you need to start making it your priority to get a good night’s rest every night.

A core set of beliefs.

Everybody has beliefs. So, you might be tempted to tick this one off the checklist and move onto the next point. However, you should think about what this really means. Are you really in touch with your core set of beliefs? Spiritual or religious acceptance has been the path to happiness for so many millions of people throughout the world both in the past and the present. This could be the way forward for you if you have doubts about yourself and the world. It might be time to tune into your core set of beliefs. You could make it your goal to come to Radiant Church if you’re looking for a route to take. This could help to move you to where you need to be. Just remember that finding your core set of beliefs is the path to happiness, whatever that means for you.

Self-acceptance.

This is one of the most important steps towards achieving true happiness. Nobody is perfect, and we all accept that. Well, we all accept it in others. When it comes to self-reflection, however, many of us are overly critical. Self-acceptance is all about counteracting those negative feelings and learning to appreciate yourself. If you struggle with feelings of stress or anxiety, then you might want to start trying meditation or even yoga to help control your thoughts. Once you start learning to appreciate yourself and the present moment, you’ll start feeling happier.
