8 Things You Can Do Right Now To Become Happier (3 of 3)

7. Change your social media consumption habits

The YouTube vlogs you watch, the people you hang out with, the shows you stream, and the accounts you follow on Instagram serve to feed our minds, much like the food we eat fuels our bodies. We have a choice: we can either opt for variety in our social media consumption in order to nourish our minds, or we can just consume “junk food” that does nothing to make us feel better. Do you find yourself doom scrolling on Twitter? Are you only listening to news-related podcasts? Use Twitter less and mix things up by listening to a comedy podcast from time to time instead. You are sure to feel better!

8. Accept yourself

When you spend so much time worrying about what others think about you, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that you’ll end up a very unhappy person. Instead, you should focus on loving yourself. In order to achieve happiness, you need to be who you are, not what you imagine other people think you should be. What are some of your best personality traits and how can you use them to improve your relationships, work-life, and even the time you spend by yourself? When you accept yourself, you’ll reach a comfortable level that you never realized was possible. You’ll also find yourself surrounded by people who accept you too.
