I don’t usually proffer advise. Mainly because I don’t like to receive it, but…
I will just suggest these few little things that I think will help you to become a happy person. If you are already happy, have a brief nap and ignore.
First, I think we can all do with a little more introspection and reflexion. Thinking about things, but in a creative and productive manner, not worrying about them. We should look at our bodies and our minds from the inside out. Now you might want to ask me, «how the hell am I supposed to do that?» But you can, it just takes practice and visualisation, as well as taking an analytical, and precise look back at what you have done, what you have thought about and what you are doing. That is introspection.
Reflexion, to reflect upon one’s life, activities and plans, is like meditation. We can all be a little happier if we reflected before acting. Knowing yourself, and what you do, better is a way to maintain balance in life and balance is good. You will see it leads to greater happiness.
Second: Engage in a sports activity. Keep the body and the mind active. It does not matter how old/young you are. You need it although you might think you can do without it.
Third: Don’t pamper or baby yourself. Allow yourself some dosis of discomfort. For example, take cold baths, or suffer the heat. Of course this is not meant for you to torture yourself. Do it in small increments. Your body will thank you in ways you have never imagined.
Fourth: Take micro dosis of pain. It’s ok, I don’t mean for you to pull your teeth out or to cut your skin, but supporting a little pain can go a long way in strengthening your mind/spirit and making you a much happier person.
Fifth: Learn to be water and flow. Flow through your activities, your work, your engagements, your life. Water always finds its position, you can too.
And no, I am not a guru, a yogi, an ascended master or a life coach. I’m just a guy who saw you down and out too many times and thought I could lend a hand. 😊
CHEERS
Interesting tips, Francisco. Your time away is making you quite philosophical. I’m now at the age when my body is starting for pay me back for the trauma I put it through. Fortunately, it still listens to me a bit better than my husband does. 😉

Hehehe… well it’s never too late for healthy things. Exercise enhances the taste of wine, for instance…

Tge first few lines tickled me. Cut to the chase humor. I’ve done number 3. 😆 Small doses of discomfort is humbling and makes you all the more appreciative. And really, if one has to go in survival mode, those little comforts will make you suffer.

For sure! We should not expect to be comfortable all the time, and a little discomfort here and there strengthens our soul. Thank you!

Micro doses of pain 😁 Good concept that I think helps when you are in actual pain – little goes a long way and helps appreciate the good times. My father ignored his pain for years and it almost killed him. So never ignore pain… it is there for a reason. I like your tips if your not flowing you are not glowing ✨️ 😉

Thank you so much. I have found that it keeps one from being too proud. I too ignore my arthritis based pain, but I know that there is nothing to be done about it, so I live and try to forget about it. And yes, we must flow like water. All the best and greetings from Spain.
