5 Simple Ways To Make Yourself Happier

It's natural for us all to not feel hunky-dory all of the time, we all get off days and it is difficult to stay happy twenty-four seven. When I am in a bit of a gloomy mood I like to try and get myself out of it as soon as possible, I decided to share some simple ways to make yourself happier.

1. Bake A Giant Chocolate Cake - I find there is nothing more comforting then shutting off those negative thoughts with a bit of baking in the kitchen. I enjoy baking a lot with my boyfriend so whenever we spend time indoors we bake something and it can be a lot of fun as well as tasty!

2. Turn Off Social Media - Sometimes the internet can really take over our lives and it's important sometimes to turn it off. Go get some fresh air in your lungs or even colour in I find this so therapeutic. I have a post about de-stressing with colouring in here too.

3. Get Out Of Your Rut - I love comfort. I don't enjoy blogging anywhere apart from in my bedroom at my workspace. I also enjoy working on projects at home too, but sometimes it is nice to change it up a little. Maybe visit a coffee shop or a library, change it up a little can actually make you work a lot more positive and feel very refreshing.

4. Treat Yourself - A quote I found on Pinterest says "buying clothes isn't just buying clothes, it's buying happiness" and I completely agree. There is nothing more enjoyable than treating yourself to a new outfit or makeup so if you are feeling a little blue go out and buy something nice to cheer you up, I am so guilty for doing this.

5. Spring Clean - Go and buy some pretty flowers to brighten up your home with a bit of sunshine. Get yourself to Paperchase and purchase some inspirational postcards, I have dozens of them dotted all over my walls or on my desk and they really do make a difference. I wrote a post on giving your room a detox here.

What do you do to keep happy??
