What to invest in happiness every day

Summary of six items: "What to invest" to create true happiness and responsibility for your own happiness:

1. Invest in staying with the present

• Concept: It is one of the most important and difficult practice investments.

• Results: In the present, we will see thoughts come out and go out in front of us, making us deal with negative emotions, such as anger when people are not working, frustration with traffic jams, greed when they hear about other people's money, or jealousy, bringing peace of mind.

2. Invest in Flow State

• Ideas: Moments of work are truly happy, often in this fluid state, but not for free, need to invest in time and environmental arrangements.

• How to train: Start with a good sleep, choose a meaningful job (not too difficult or easy, but challenging and suitable for us), and keep time aside seriously by turning off every noise (the author likes the early hours of the morning because no one bothers).

3. Invest in Lifestyles

The authors give, for example, 83-year-old parents who are healthy, cerebral, and happy, taking their lifestyle lessons into four main areas:

• Brain Matters: Do not stop working even after retirement, allowing the brain to remain sharp in thinking and analyzing.

• Moving: All day moving activities such as walking fast for at least an hour, ping pong, weightlifting, or shopping.

• Food: Not much food, focus mainly on nuts, vegetables and fish, drink concentrated vegetable juice and drink a little wine (a glass a day)

• Stress and sleep management: There are unique ways to relax, such as sun-drying, sitting and watching birds in the garden, walking on grass, reading early morning books, and talking in exchange for hours to drain stress, making a comfortable sleep.

4. Invest in attitude training

• Ideas: When you encounter things in your life, it is very important to think or attitude, dividing the cope into two types:

• Victim Mentality: Look at yourself as a victim, feel that the world is unfair, why bad things have to happen to us, which is stressful and depressing.

• Survivor Mentality: Look at pressure as a challenge, want to solve problems, want to increase potential, look at risk as an opportunity for growth.

• How to train: Must practice mindfulness, meditate, and deal with physical and mental pressures, such as ice immersion, so that the brain learns and changes its attitude on its own.

5. Invest with knowledge

• Ideas: It's straightforward. If we have knowledge of the hormones that affect happiness or understand the mechanisms of brain activity, we will start to be careful and see what really affects our happiness.

• Results: Once there is the right knowledge, we will be able to change our own behavior correctly to create happiness.

6. Invest with people around and the environment

• People around you: Reduce or minimize spending time with "Toxic people" and "gossipers," because these people are the real "Suckers of Happiness."

• Environment: Adjust the environment around you. Find good things in the fridge, tidy up the house, take unused items to donate, set up a desk, raise a tree or pet, and always learn to appreciate the little beauty of life, such as the morning sun or a good book.
