5 Simple Habits You Can Adopt From The Happiest Women I Know
Move In Silence
Some of the happiest women I know move in silence. They may be relaxing on the beach with a fancy cocktail in hand and you will never know it. They limit their social media appearance and live life enjoying the peace that comes with solitude. This state of just being creates a level of mindfulness that supersedes all understanding.
I am the first to admit that the social media breaks I took in the past were some of the most peaceful moments I’ve ever had. Your mind settles, your body settles, and this allows you to just simply “Be” without conforming to the expectations of the world and those around you. I felt so happy just typing this!
Say No
Some of the happiest women I know say “No”. They say no to things that don’t serve them and they don’t feel bad about it. Saying “no” does wonders for our mental health. It also gives room to prioritize what’s important and in turn sets much needed boundaries in different areas of our lives.
It can be difficult to say! That’s why these happy women are definitely brave. Are you wondering when it’s appropriate to say no? Struggling to find the right way to say it? If so, keep reading.
Before you say “no” you should:
- Listen to your body – does it feel right? Is it exhausting or tiring?
- Think before you speak – It’s okay to say let me think about it!
- Baby steps – practice saying no to small things first.
Prioritize Your Health and Wellness
They prioritize their health and wellness. This is because they know that in order to be their best self they need to feel their best self. As a result, you may see these happy women faithfully attending pilates, yoga and meditating. They get their rest and is all about living the “soft life”. They have a consistent workout routine, take their vitamins, drink their water, meal prep, eat rather well and mind their business.
Some of these happy women wake up faithfully to a 5am alarm. They look forward to breaking a sweat before starting their workday. Sometimes you may see them walking out of Starbucks post workout with their 2 piece athletic set on preparing to run errands. They prioritize their health and wellness and don’t make excuses along the way.
Create A Spiritual Foundation
These happy women love their faith and aren’t afraid to show it. They know that they are blessed! They attend church every Sunday and some may even pull a weekly double and attend a bible study or mid-week service. They can recite a scripture in a heartbeat and is always eager to pray with and for you.
Some may be big on manifestation. They repeat their positive affirmations out loud daily and some may even have them visually displayed as a reminder that they are “that girl”! These women know their purpose in life and coupled with their faith they happily work toward the end goal everyday.
Speak Up
The happiest women I know believe that closed mouths don’t get fed. They speak up, address problems, stay in their own lane and seek to inspire rather than compete. These women don’t mind blessing others with the tea and keys to becoming the best virgin of themselves.
If they want something they are going to ask for it. If they have an opinion about something they are going to let you know. If they are passionate about a cause they are going to tell you why. They simply just speak up! They value themselves and know their worth. You should too!
