By volunteering on a regular basis, not only will get a rush out of helping others but you’ll also decrease your stress levels and give you a sense of purpose. So it’s well worth contacting an organization whose mission and goals, inspires you to volunteer your time.  Exercising several times a week   When you exercise and get your heart pumping, your brain releases dopamine a natural chemical which will immediately improve your mood. In fact, dopamine is the chemical which your brain emits every time that you experience pleasure or happiness.  As added bonuses, exercising on a regular basis can increase your energy levels and decrease your stress levels which will help you feel happier on a daily basis. As low energy and stress are two factors which can significantly decrease your happiness levels.  Spending time with your friends  Spending time each week with supportive, caring friends can significantly boost your mood as humans are social creatures who benefit from regular social interaction. So if you’re looking for a simple way to feel happier, it’s well worth calling a friend to organize a catch-up.  As an added benefit by fostering your close friendships, you’ll feel happier as you’ll know that support is just a phone call away. As if you take time to strengthen your friendships, you’ll have no trouble finding a friend to talk to, when you’re going through a challenging, difficult time.  Taking time out to relax  If you lead a hectic, fast-paced lifestyle, it’s important to take time out each day to recharge your batteries. If your time is limited, you may find that simply taking 20 minutes to soak in a hot bath or to sit outside in the sun, may dramatically increase your mood.  When it comes to taking time out to recharge, ensure to choose activities which you personally find fun and calming. As the activities which your friends, partner or family members may find relaxing, may not interest you.  Switching off your electronic devices  In today’s technologically connected society, you may start to feel stressed out by the pressure to respond to all of your friends’ social media messages and posts. One simple, foolproof way to increase your happiness levels is to turn your smartphone and laptop off in the evenings.  Which will allow you to focus on spending time with those around you, instead of constantly checking your social media accounts for new messages, comments or likes.  So if one of your primary goals is to feel happier on a regular basis, it’s well worth trying out the 5 activities listed above. As each suggestion has been scientifically proven to increase happiness.  · Uncategorized 6 Free Family Activities to Keep Your Family Busy!

As an example, you may want to use the 50/20/30 plan which was popularized by US Senator Elizabeth Warren which allocates 50% of your disposable income to essential items such as electricity and groceries, 20% of your income to your long-term savings account and 30% of your income to luxuries such as new clothes, movie tickets and family vacations.  Set up multiple bank accounts   Ensure that you have at least two bank accounts. One bank account to deposit your long-term savings, which offers a higher interest rate as well an everyday account, which you can use to store money which you’ll use to purchase everyday essentials and luxuries.  Track your expenses  If you prefer to use cards to pay for goods and services, make sure to print off your online statements so that you can keep a record of all of your expenses. Alternatively, if you prefer dealing with cash, make sure to keep all of your receipts, so that you can use a free smartphone app to tally up all of your expenses.  Save for big purchases, instead of taking out a loan or purchasing an item on finance  Don’t be tempted to purchase an expensive item such as a car or a flat screen television on finance as you’ll end up paying for more for your item, than if you paid with cash. As if you take out a loan or purchase an item on finance, you’ll have to pay a fixed rate of interest. In some cases, you may end up having to pay a premium of several hundred dollars. So it’s well worth saving to purchase your big purchases with cash.  Prioritize your needs over your wants  As an example, if you can only afford to pay for car repairs or to spend a night out with your friends, it’s important to prioritize paying for your car to get repaired over a night out.  Make sure that your budget is realistic  As an example, make sure that you allocate enough money to purchase your weekly groceries. As if you draft up a budget that is unrealistic, you’re simply setting yourself up to fail. Also make sure, to budget a few luxuries into your budget as there’s no point saving thousands of dollars if you forget to have fun and treat yourself to occasional luxuries such as a massage or a cup of freshly brewed coffee from your favourite cafe.  Be prepared to adjust your budget if necessary  A budget should never be set in stone, after a few weeks of testing out your budget, you may want to make a few tweaks to your budget based on the new information you’ve gained.
