What is YOUR SECRET for a happy life?

-don’t watch television or news or even weather reports. have a nice list of online educational non-political streamers that you watch if you want to stare at a screen.
-Practice gratitude each day. Learn how to cultivate gratitude.
-have a massive library of books about things that interest you.
-don’t use alcohol or smoke cigarettes ever.
-take naps daily. do not put pressure on yourself to get a certain amount of uninterrupted sleep each day. This is crucial-you must stop caring/focusing on sleep quantity and just sleep whenever you feel like sleeping and if you can’t sleep, listen to your body and stay awake. It’s all OK. Try not to fight what your body wants to do. Just listen and go with it, even if it’s unconventional. Do not measure it in quantity.
-only spend time and energy on people that are actively improving themselves in some way or who are mentally well. Other people will drain you and pull you down to struggle alongside them if you allow it. Be very strict with your circle and avoid people with continuous ongoing problems/drama/bad luck/addictions. It is contagious. Understand that many people are just bad people and mental illness is their excuse for their bad behavior. Stop trying to fix them and just cut them out like the cancer that most of them are.

-maintain your living surroundings on a basic level. You don’t have to be militant, but each day you need to develop a routine of making your bed, washing all of the dishes in your sink, sweeping the floor, changing the garbage. Have a bare minimum list of upkeep things you do each day and force yourself to do them. It will make you feel better about yourself and allow you to think, relax, regroup.

-Exercise (nothing crazy) or just walk 10,000 steps at least 3 x a week.

-Find a partner that loves, respects, understands you and enriches your life in some way. Be selective and make sure they hold the same values as you and are of a similar background, age, economic status, & educational status. Differences are fine, but know that they will often make life harder and less “happy.” It’s been proven that people are happier when they are with people who are similar to themselves.
-Find a way to commune with God. It does not have to be through the Bible. It can be through nature, music, dance, mysticism, meditation, even studying near death and supernatural experiences. Become unwilled, learn to silence your will / inner monologue and instead operate under God’s divine will aka Natural Law. This will take some effort but once you learn it, your life automatically becomes much easier and more prosperous. If you are injuring yourself or having a lot of bad luck & accidents, it’s a sure sign that you’re disregarding God’s will.
