How to enjoy every moment of life and be happy

“Live in the current moment and you will be happy!” - is now a very popular motto. In order to be in the moment, to stop the racing of thoughts, we sit down to meditate, forget about everything, or leave for permanent residence in Goa, joining the ranks of downshifters. It’s tiring when thoughts, like fleas, jump from regrets about the past to an alarming future. Fatigue accumulates from the heap of planned tasks. There is no time to smile at a child, be in silence, feel the breath of the spring breeze, in a word, truly live the moment here and now.

Is there any reason to be upset about such a life? Yes, but not everyone has it. For whom it is important to live in the moment and why you can’t find yourself in it, let’s try to figure it out with the help of System-Vector Psychology by Yuri Burlan.

Say yes and say no

Both are equally important.

First, saying “yes” more often exposes you to incredible new experiences. You can think big, like finally going on that trip, or more local, like going to an impromptu show. Both are equally effective in moving oneself towards new states and sensations.

The other side of the always saying yes coin tells a different story. You know what we're talking about. This is when “no” comes into play.

A very good example: this is the story that Jim Carrey got himself into in the movie Always Say Yes. Although he initially said yes and changed his life in this wonderful adventure, by the end of the film he couldn't take it anymore. It was too much to say yes.

To be able to say yes to the things you want, you must also be comfortable saying no to everything and everyone.

This means: that informal meeting, that wedding, that deadline that no one asked if you could do it, that shopping list, and so on. You know better what is being said, and you can already remember a few of your own examples. Therefore, you need to be able to say no gently.

Tip #10: Set realistic goals and achieve them

Start setting realistic goals for yourself and achieving them. After all, it is the implementation of your goals in life that will give you joy and bring a lot of pleasure. Also, by achieving your goals, you will significantly raise your own self-esteem and become much more confident in yourself, which will help in the future not only improve your life, but also enjoy it. In other words, by bringing your plans to life, you will begin to receive only pleasure from it, and also learn to enjoy absolutely every day.

In conclusion of the article, it is worth adding that do not forget to develop and improve, and also constantly work on yourself in order to change your life for the better and get only pleasure from it.

Take care

When you take care of yourself, you feel good. You feel that you can take on any challenge that may come your way.

Try to look like you're taking care of yourself.

Clean yourself up, put on fresh clothes, comb your hair and that’s it. You are ready to face the world.

Do this every day and you will be ready for anything at any time.

Try to remember a day when you didn't shower, didn't change clothes, and your big plan was to stay home, watch TV, and indulge in junk food. The only problem was that you needed something from the store, so you left the house like that, secretly hoping that you wouldn't run into anyone you knew. But everything turned out exactly the opposite.

What happened next? You tried to step aside and avoid the meeting. When this failed, you were uncomfortable even making eye contact, and you tried to shorten the conversation as much as possible so that you could get home as quickly as possible.

Now imagine the same thing, only you look beautiful and smell like someone who takes care of themselves. Much better, right?

Make a wish list

Tell me: why is it only when we are faced with something terrible that we realize how limited our life is?

Why do we always think “someday” when we make plans?

Why is the future always better for our desires, but the present is only good for our daily tasks and responsibilities? You know: cleaning the house, grocery shopping, laundry.

If you've never written a Bucket List, don't worry. It doesn't have to be filled with only life-changing extreme events or expensive things. Instead, start small.

Make a Summer Wish List: drinks in the park, free outdoor concert. Write a Winter Wish List: sledding, building a snowman.

The idea behind this tip is to create a Wish List. Read it every day and take the opportunity, when any desire comes true, to mark it as fulfilled on the list. In the future, you will smile every time you do it. And this is how you turn your everyday life into something exciting and interesting.

Tip #2: Start thinking positively

You need to completely get rid of negative thoughts and start thinking positively in order to reconsider your life and get only pleasure from it. After all, if you constantly think positively, you can begin to make further plans for life, which, over time, you can gradually implement. Thus, you can learn to enjoy absolutely every day of your life and live for your pleasure.

Find your sports activities that you enjoy

One of the best ways to seize the moment and enjoy life? Playing sports!

You've probably heard and read this advice a million times before. But you should know that this is simply the truth. Many people have changed their lives by playing a sport they enjoy.

I love strength training (weight training), it helps me deal with stress, anxiety and boredom, it's both an outlet and a source of satisfaction for me and I can't imagine my life without it.

Strength sports allow me to do one of the following:

• I feel good
• I challenge my body
• I'm thinking
• Letting off steam when stressed
• Burning calories

So when I have a tough day, I work out and feel great. Moreover, I don’t need to go or go to the gym on purpose, I equipped it at home. If you are interested in how I came to this, what equipment I purchased and how much it cost me, you can read my story here.

Simply put, working out always has a positive impact on my happiness. This is why exercise is ALWAYS featured in guides on how to be happy!

Choose the activities that you like: running, swimming, fitness, cycling, long walks... and be HAPPY! Or maybe you are interested in strength training that is suitable not only for men, but also for women. You can read here Strength training for women. The benefits of strength training.

Tip #7: Use difficult times as an opportunity for change.

Of course, in life things don’t always work out easy and simple. Sometimes it happens that you have to find strength in yourself to survive in difficult times. Of course, you have to make a lot of effort to overcome the difficulties that arise in life. But at the same time, such circumstances must be treated as a definite opportunity for change, no matter how difficult and complex they may seem to you. Therefore, by coping and overcoming difficulties, you can gradually change your life for the better, which will allow you to enjoy every day and begin to enjoy life.

Get out of your normal path

It doesn't get any easier than this.

Consider changing your route to work and back home. Consider trying that food on the menu that you don't even know what it is. Consider trying a new drink or cocktail. Consider listening to people you usually avoid.

Everyone has a story, and most have a killer one to share. You can learn something new from every person you meet and gain new experiences that you can benefit from.

Using Yoga to Connect with the Present Moment

Yoga is a great way to connect with the present . There are many reasons why yoga is beneficial for mindfulness, but one of the main ones is, of course, paying attention to your breathing.

When we focus our attention on our breath, we have no choice but to be in the present.

To bring yourself back to the present in a moment of stress or when you feel overwhelmed by the past or future, you can try this breathing exercise from Yokeley:

Inhale and say to yourself, “I am inhaling,” exhale, saying, “I am exhaling.” On the next round of breathing, try to tell yourself: “I am here and now.”

The flow of yoga from one position to another is a great opportunity to develop the ability to stay in the present moment. Transitions mimic the changes we experience as we move from work to rest, cooking, cleaning, sleeping, and everything else in between.

Spend time outside

You've heard it before.

All of us living in the city miss sunlight, fresh air and the peace that comes with it.

If you say it can't be done because of your busy schedule, try walking more from one building to another. Or just go outside during short breaks at work.

Little moments like these count and they add up in the end. Don't lose sight of them and don't underestimate their power.

Tip #8: Stop Wasting All Your Time

Start valuing all your time and stop wasting it completely. After all, if you waste your time, you will completely stop noticing any changes in your life. Of course, over time, you begin to realize that life is not getting better and that is why you cannot please and enjoy it. If, on the contrary, you begin to properly distribute all your time, you will gradually begin to notice that your life is only changing for the better. Thus, you begin to not only value your time, but also enjoy your life, which is only changing for the better.

7. Whatever you do, don't plan every minute.

We all have so much to do. We always feel like we are running somewhere.

Let life go spontaneously.

If you're reading this, chances are you have at least some control over your schedule. Don't plan every minute with activities. Leave time for relaxation, for spontaneity. Your brain will thank you for this. Your energy levels too. And even your mood.

This way you also make room for the unexpected. For the opportunity to say “yes” to an impromptu invitation to see a street performance, have a picnic, or just take a walk in the park or have a coffee date.

Keep control of your presence on the Internet

It's not about going off the grid completely. We truly benefit from the benefits that the internet has to offer us. But keep it under control.

The research is clear on this issue. The World Happiness Report, which comes out every year, confirms this. People spend more time online than interacting with each other in person, which has unprecedented negative side effects on our happiness levels.

The logic is simple. If you want to increase your level of happiness, all you have to do is go somewhere, visit someone, read a magazine or a book. Instead of watching a movie at home, visit an art exhibition. The possibilities are endless when you focus on the little things.

How to live at the moment?

To achieve a healthy balance, try to remember the following:

1. Think about the past in small doses and make sure that you are focusing on the past for some reason (for example, to relive a pleasant experience, identify where you went wrong, or figure out the key to past success).
2. Think about the future in small doses and make sure you are focusing on the future in a healthy way without worrying about yourself (e.g. don't waste time worrying about the future, think about the future long enough to prepare for it and then move on).
3. Stay in the present moment most of your time.

Map, Clock and Reviews

Just go. Lately, we all feel obligated to make the best decisions possible every time. Even if it's all about buying a toothbrush.

When going on vacation, we plan in advance the route for each day of our stay.

Remove the city map. Don't read restaurant reviews, just sit down and order. Don't look at the clock, do what you feel, whether it's 2 am or day.

Tip #1: Become a positive and optimistic person

To start enjoying every day of your life, you need to become an optimist and completely reconsider your life. Start to notice, first of all, the positive moments in your life, without focusing only on one continuous negative. Remember, if you become a positive person, you will be able to generate only positive energy around you, which, in turn, will be reflected in your perception of the entire world around you. Also, by becoming an optimist, you will be able to attract only positive energy, which will help you improve your life.

Constantly learn something new

If you've always wanted to cook better, but don't have the time, energy or skills to organize it, look for cooking classes. You don't know where a chance will come from, and perhaps you will meet a person who will change your life.

Don't wait for others to do things. We all want to do things with our friends, but sometimes they don't share the same interests. Don't let this stop you. And remember, there is no better time than the present, no perfect time in the future.

You'll thank yourself and have some good stories to tell the next time you interact with someone new on one of your vacation trips.

Sufferers unwillingly

According to the system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan, each vector has its own desires and its own values. During the skin phase of development, whose values ​​are determined by the skin vector, representatives of other vectors may experience the feeling that it is difficult for them to be in the moment, it is impossible to feel the taste of life. Everyone is involved in a constant race for novelty and consumption - the attributes of the era. Healthy representatives of the skin vector like it, they “get a buzz” from the realization of their innate desires.

But, for example, a person with an anal vector wants to live in his own leisurely rhythm of life, but he is constantly being pushed on. The representative of the visual vector wants to have a heart-to-heart talk, but he does not have time for this. The owner of the sound vector has difficulty finding opportunities to concentrate thoughts in this noisy and always rushing world. That is, their deepest desires do not find fulfillment, so it seems to them that they are not living their own life, that life is passing them by.

And in one person deficiencies and a feeling of dissatisfaction with life can accumulate if he is a polymorph and all these vectors, together with the flickering skin, are in him. What to do? Is it even possible to be happy in this case?

Reward yourself

This is for you and only you.

Reward yourself for every little thing you do the way you want. Did you have a good day at work when everything you planned was done? Buy yourself some ice cream.

The rewards have dual meanings. First, the more obvious one is you give yourself a moment, whether it's in the form of ice cream, a new pair of shoes you've been eyeing, or movie tickets.

The second power of rewards is that they act as motivation.

Everything on this list is connected. You try something new, you meet someone new. You don't wait, you do it. You challenge yourself, you reward yourself.

Using the present moment to stop worrying

Speaking of anxiety, being aware of the present moment is a great way to reduce your anxiety levels.

Follow these six steps to become more present and free from anxiety:

1. Develop mindfulness: Stop thinking about your work.
2. Practice Enjoyment: Avoid worrying about the future by fully experiencing the present.
3. Focus on your breathing: Allow mindfulness to make you more peaceful and smooth your interactions with others.
4. Find your flow: Make the most of your time.
5. Improve your ability to accept: move towards what's bothering you instead of denying or running away from it.
6. Increase your engagement: Notice new things to improve your awareness.

Help others

The relationship between helping and happiness is undeniable. Even just giving time to others increases overall well-being.

Firstly, it makes you feel better and you will act in the same positive manner in the future; and secondly, it spreads happiness to someone else.

There are thousands of activities you can volunteer for, but remember, we're talking about the smallest possible actions you can take to increase your joy.

Think about holding the door, giving flowers, giving compliments, smiling, returning a lost item. These little things work wonders when trying to spread other people's happiness, and paradoxically, it also increases our own happiness.

Why can it be difficult to live now?

Living in the present is so difficult because we are always encouraged to think about the future or dwell on our past. Advertisements, reminders, notifications, messages and warnings are all oriented towards the past or the future.

Our phones are incredible technologies that allow us to do so much more and do it much more efficiently than ever before, but we really need a break from our phones at least every now and then.

Other factors that contribute to our inability to live in the present include:

1. We often correct the bad parts of our experiences by making our past more pleasant than it actually was.
2. When we live in the present, we face a lot of uncertainty, which can cause anxiety.

Dealing with these factors can be difficult, but fortunately we are not slaves to our brain's tendencies. It is possible to overcome our destructive urges and make better choices.

Sleep

Now this sounds a little counterintuitive, doesn't it? Yes and no.

There are countless studies that say the same thing. Without enough sleep, we are more prone to making mistakes, and we fail to recall memories or complete basic tasks, even our thoughts. But every person is different from another.

I need on average 6+ hours at night and 2+ hours during the day. I stopped trying to change and feeling guilty about it, I just focused my life on the fact that I sleep like this. Otherwise, I won't be working at full capacity and it will prevent me from enjoying the hours I'm awake.

After us - even a flood!

System-vector psychology distinguishes eight vectors in the psyche of humanity - eight groups of desires and properties for their implementation, inherent in nature. Each vector gives a person its own system of values, creates a type of thinking, and determines a life scenario. A modern person has on average 3-5 vectors, and such a person is called a polymorph.

Two vectors - anal and urethral - make up the quartile of time, its internal and external parts. Accordingly, the owner of the anal vector is a person whose thoughts are turned to the past, and the representative of the urethral vector in the present lives in the future. And this is normal, because their preferences are given to them in order to fulfill their purpose: the anal person - to collect past experience and pass it on to descendants, and the urethral person - to lead society into the future.

But the owner of the skin vector just strives to live in the present, without remembering the past, because his memory is “short”, and without thinking about the future, because by nature this is not his concern. “After us there might be a flood!” - this is the motto of a person with a skin vector. But it is precisely for him in a state of stress that it is typical to overload himself with many unnecessary things, to fuss and flicker, without having time to enjoy the present moment. And super control in the skin vector sometimes prevents its owner from getting true pleasure from life.
