How to be Happy
Today I’m going to go over some advice on how to bring more happiness into your life. I will also sandwich in some good synonyms so you can avoid using the word ‘happy’ and say more advanced words instead.
How to be Happy
- Practice gratitude – Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have
- Exercise – even if you don’t feel like it
- Get enough sleep! (I’m talking to myself here too!)
- Get out in nature and breathe
- Create the environment you want to be surrounded by
- Plan happy things such as meetings with friends, or a weekend away
- But also focus on the moment – take 5 minutes to breathe and focus on the beauty around you
- Do something that scares you
- Take a break from the news
Vocabulary
- Grateful – Feeling happy and thankful for what you have in life
- Content (adjective) – satisfied, everything is fine, no problems, chilled out

- Joyful (adjective) – filled with joy and happiness
- At ease – To feel relaxed, no problems
- On the horizon – Something that’s coming in the near future

Very good podcast, as usually. I think it’s good to talk about more general topics, but you organise and talk about the others very good as well.
I agree with almost all your advices about how to be happy, but I have to highlight 1, 4 and 9.
Thank you.
Thanks for listening and (hopefully) enjoying! I’m glad you like the format of the podcasts and I appreciate the feedback 🙂
