Hey folks its your host tank with another topic to share with you today. Have you ever asked yourself? How can I live a happy life? How to enjoy life as it is? It's a great question, you know, how to enjoy life as it is. So whenever I write something for the podcast, I think about the people who I could end up hurting if I'm not empathetic to the multitude of situations that they can possibly be in. I always ask myself these questions when I think about a topic to share my audience. What if they're going through a depressive episode? What if their anxiety is something that they can't deal with most times? What if they lost someone? What if they live in a toxic environment? What if they hate themselves? What if they don't feel the will to live, it's quite tricky to offer positivity without invalidating someone state of mind. But you know, I still want to help. All of this makes me want to do this more and as best as I can, because these are the people who need it most. So keeping in mind that you might not be going through a very great time. And also that you might be, but here I am sharing my ideas with you. Now, how to enjoy your life as it is. There are a few things to keep in mind all the time, which are personally practices myself. So I would suggest you take a note of these six topics. Well, if you have a notebook with you at the time, of course, that I'm going to talk about so that you can refer them later on. Number one, find humor in little things. You might have come across people who seems to be mostly happy regardless of what they are going through. Even when they are sad. It's not hard for them to laugh, or to be excited about something. So let us get inspired by them. I increased embracing sadness, but it shouldn't stop you from embracing happiness and excitement to we're all funny being living funny lives was so hard in laughing over it. This tendency makes it easier to go through tough days as well. Laugh at yourself, and light enough when you have the capacity to do so. it will get easier. Number two, humble yourself. As much as it is important to value your experience it is also necessary to do two things. One, come to terms with the fact that you are or we are not alone. Second, we are a tiny part of an infinite universe. Well, everyone in this world goes through times when it gets hard for them. One of the most moving moments of my life are when I find someone's description of their misery exactly like mine. It is so validating to know that it isn't just me. Additionally, I dive into astronomy time to time to tell myself Hey, there's this whole universe out there, which has been for ages and will continue to be all these gigantic planets, galaxies, satellites, stars, things you will never even see because you are a little person on a planet with billions of others. It's all right. And thats it, somehow, this helps me calm down and feel that it's not that big of a problem that it will get okay. It gives me patience. Number three, pause and just breathe. Do you think that we move too fast in life that we pass by moment without knowing that we are rarely in the moment that we are aware of the sounds, the air, how our body feels, if we are thirsty, all of that sounds all of that people around us. I raised my hand in solid agreement. Even as I'm recording this, I'm looking around looking at the walls of my room. I can hear cars passing by and I just realized I said drink of water now so give me a break

Okay, so as I did that, I also switched the lights on in the hall is getting dark. And I will ask my friends if they would like to meet up and drink some coffee after I finished recording this. And now I will take a deep breath. I realized I hadn't done it since the morning.

Yes, there are things to do bills to pay plans to make. But there is also life to live and we are in it. So now take a pause, take a deep breath. Look around. You're right now, right here in this very exact moment, which is for you. Number four, let me ask you, what is one little thing that made you smile today? Being grateful is a simple and easy thing to understand. Yeah, right. We should be grateful for what we have. We know that it's going to make us feel better about life in every moment. But the weird thing about us is that we forget, we know what is good for us, but still don't do it. So ask yourself, what is one little thing that made you smile today? Well, I just smiled, watching a video of my son making funny faces. And before that, in the morning, I smiled, remembering my school days with friends, when we used to serve a cost of gas for the scooter to roam around in the city. Come to think of it, there are so many things you can laugh and smile about. Maybe it was a better day than most. But still, even one moment of gratitude, for a true moment of joy is worth holding, dear. Number five, make time for what you love. I was talking about fast paced life right? When I was in school, I didn't think I would ever need to make time for doing stuff I enjoyed. I just had that. But then I grew up and I had a super busy schedule, just like all of us. And even when I would have some time, the energy and motivation would be nil. So I resorted to low effort hobbies, like just listening to music in the evenings. And watching a couple of episodes of the office doesn't sound like much, but that's what kept me connected to myself. So make those tiny little timeframes from your busy schedule, where you can just do what you love to do. It can be just drinking a beer with your buddy, going on a short walk with a dog, driving in your car and listening to your playlist aloud, or maybe just watching your kid playing on her own. Number six, contribute to good. I have heard from people who have gone to achieve great things in life that they tried everything but what made them feel contentment was service. For some it's it was it is what it gives a piece of your soul. And not only that, it's what is needed the most in the world. So think of the small and big ways that you can contribute to causes that you care about. Well, I'm currently volunteering at the animal rescue out of my city. And you know what, I met a person who runs a rescue organization close to my home, I didn't even know about it. We are fans now. And the first thing that I will do once I get time is to visit the center and see what I can do there. And if you don't have all the time to go out and do all those things, then you can just do a charity and help someone in need with your money to have a smile on their face. And that's all I have to say, you know, I feel insecure sometimes about the simple advice that I give, I start to wonder if it's actually going to help or not. But it's the simplest things that are the easiest to forget and the ones that will work the most effectively. So I'm grateful that I can share these with you guys and remind you of the little things that can make you love and enjoy your life just as it is. So that's all for today, my friends, you have a peaceful life and enjoy what comes in your way. See you later.
