MY DAILY ROUTINE FOR STAYING HAPPY

Hello :)

In previous post I wrote about results of happy lifestyle.

Here is my every day routine that keeps me motivated, inspired, grateful and happy.

1.Five minute mind gym

Even before I open my eyes I feel joy since I use this technique originally shared by Alex Ikonn (here is his YouTube chanel). It is very simple yet easy and powerful. First thing I do when I wake up, right after I open my eyes, I take my phone and write down answers to this 3 questions:

*What are you grateful for and why? List 3 things

*What is going to make today amazing?

*Your affirmation

It boosts fate and positivism instantly.

2.Praying

Right after I finish writing answers down, I cross over myself and say out loud “Our Lord” and give Him thanks for wonderful morning and I say how grateful and happy I am to put my life, hopes and wishes into His hands and let him guide me through life on best way possible.

As being Orthodox Christian (main religion in Russia, Romania, Greece, Serbia, Macedonia…) , I do it this way. But you can do it any way you feel right. Follow your religion or whatever makes you feel good. Just follow your bliss :)

3. Gratitude gym

Any time during day I just sit, turn off the phone and write into my gratitude journal. Simply write down 10 things you are grateful for and how that makes you feel good. It can be anything, and -yes, anyone can find 10 reasons to be grateful. It can be something going on right now, or from past or even from future.

For example, I write down even silly things like laughing all the time during geography classes back in elementary school, because I was sharing desk with silly girl. Remembering those moments still makes me happy , so I put it on the list. Also, at the moments I had nothing, I was listing things like stars and night sky , because I just love looking at stars. Just write down whatever makes you feel good

This will help you to focus on positive things much easier. I do this every single day and I love it:)

4.Hey, Father, it’s me

This routine is…. hmmm… how to explain without sounding silly? :D It’s your talk with God :))

Basically , I just sit on my bad in meditating position, relax my entire body and I start talking. The point is to be relaxed , grateful and inspired.

I always start with giving thanks to Him and explaining how he made me happy. During this talk the most important thing is to feel God (Allah , Universe… even unicorn, if that is what you prefer) as endless positive force that makes everything possible. Try to feel it as something friendly, as your partner.

After giving thanks I go straight to my plans and dreams with “let’s do this” kind of positive attitude. Example: “I am so happy that You gave me that idea. I was thinking about that till now, but now I am sure that it is perfect. So, let’s do this. I agree and I say YES to your suggestion, so let it begin. Thank you, Thank you , thank you for this idea, it’s going to be amazing! Now I put it in your hands and let you do your thing. Thank You”

For end of this conversation you should ave that one specific word that make things happen. Something like “Enter” on your keyboard. As a Orthodox Christian I use AMIN , but you can pick anything that sounds supreme and powerful to you, you can even invent your own word.

On YouTube I saw guy using word “Soviet” in similar technique and it works perfect for him. You must pick a word that you personally feel like divine, powerful and positive. Try to search in other languages , you don’t have to stick to your own. I personally find  Italian, Greek, Russian (and other Slavic languages) and Arabian words pretty much that way, even if I don’t know meaning. Maybe you could try with word “Blagoslov” , which means blessing on Serbian and sounds amazing. Or some of these: razbra , zoloto , ulyetai , poveruvam zahvalnaya, lyubav…Let your mind wonder and you will find that one special word.

5.Hello, bed :)

This is last exercise and great way to finish your day. Also originally shared by Alex Ikonn, like the first one, this exercise will give you positive energy for sweet dreams. You will feel happy and relaxed and you will have positive dreams.

When I go to bed, I take my phone and write down three good things that happened today. After every item on the list I simply give thanks and say how grateful I am.

After that I answer how could I make this day better? Give answers in positive affirmation form. For example, if you wish you woke up early, but you woke up at 11am, you should not write “I should wake up on time, I woke up too late”, but you write down “I wake up early”.

After this I like to pray again just like I do in the morning.

So, that is it. My daily routine to stay happy, positive and inspired. It turns every day into magic , keeps you smiled all day long after some time. Those are amazing ways to transform yourself and your life.

Follow your bliss and stay happy :)
