13 Ways to Enjoy Yourself

Life in this world is indeed full of joys and sorrows. Perhaps when compared between joys and sorrows, sorrows dominate more. However, that does not mean that many sorrows should make us continue to lament our fate. If you feel that your life is less enjoyable and dominated by sad things, try doing some of these ways to change your life into a more enjoyable one. What are they? Here are 13 ways to please yourself that you can try.

Be Grateful

Most sad people in this world are because they are less grateful. Mostly because they see what is above them. In fact, above the sky, there is still another sky. Above the rich, there are even richer people. Above the beautiful, there are still more beautiful ones. And this applies to all things like intelligence, handsomeness, and other aspects.

To please yourself, try to look at what is below you. For example, people who are poorer than you, who are less beautiful than you, and those who have other deficiencies. You will surely feel lucky because you can live with your current situation. This feeling of being fortunate will please you.

Be Forgiving

You must have experienced unpleasant things because of others. The annoyance from that disturbance can lead to a disturbed heart. You will always feel uncomfortable when meeting that person.

This will continue to make you uncomfortable until you forgive them. Forgive that person and then ignore them. It will make your life more peaceful and enjoyable.

Be Thankful

Saying thank you may seem simple. However, by often saying thank you after being helped or given something by others, this will make your heart feel happy and satisfied with the gifts from others. Even if the gifts are trivial.

Pray for Others' Goodness

Praying for the goodness of others can have an impact on ourselves. For example, if you secretly pray for a friend to easily find a partner, it could be that this will impact your own ease in finding a partner. The same goes for other matters.

This can happen because angels also amen the prayers for goodness for you as well. Therefore, pray for others to receive goodness and happiness, so that you are also amen by the angels.

Do Not Compare Yourself to Others

Everyone is born from families with different privileges. Some are rich, some are smart, and so on. It is a big mistake if you compare yourself to others. What happens is that you will feel sad because you cannot match the person you are comparing yourself to.

The path to happiness is one of them is making peace with yourself. Acknowledge that you have unique strengths and weaknesses compared to others.

Be Optimistic

The most suffering people in this world are those who are the most pessimistic. They will not take many lessons from what happens to them.

The opposite is optimism. Living each day with optimism is the path to happiness. God is according to His servant's assumptions. If you assume good, then good will happen. Even if it seems bad for now, you will be amazed when in the future that bad thing brings good impacts for you.

Give Yourself a Gift

Some people earn money by working hard day and night. However, sometimes some of them forget that they need to receive appreciation. People who can appreciate themselves by giving gifts to themselves are happy people.

For example, if you achieve a target, then you will buy a MacBook Pro. When that target is achieved, do not hesitate to buy that MacBook Pro. Never be stingy with yourself. Because if you are stingy with yourself, all you will feel is fatigue and regret. Even the Arabs say, what disease is worse than the disease of stinginess.

Have Me Time

When work starts to get boring, it means you need a break. Me Time is the right thing for a break. Me Time varies for everyone. Starting from wanting to eat alone, going to the mall alone, and others.

Have Time to Be Alone and Reflect

Me Time and being alone accompanied by reflection are different things. Every human needs to have time to be alone and reflect. You need to do a review of what you have done and achieved. What has not been achieved. What are the things that caused failure and many other things that need to be reflected upon.

For introverted people, being alone and reflecting is a must and enjoyable. Introverted people reflect as a phone needs to be charged. If you are an introvert, you need to reflect to please yourself.

Avoid Laughing Too Much

Some people think that the happiest people are those who laugh a lot. In reality, it is not. In fact, comedians are the saddest people. They hide their sadness so that it is not known by their audience.

People who laugh a lot will easily feel sad over trivial matters. This happens because their hearts are used to something "pleasant" but false. True happiness cannot be obtained instantly.

Not Too Concerned About What Others Say

Have you ever read the story of a father and his son who brought a donkey? If so, the moral of the story is that following what others say does not solve problems. Because everyone has their own opinions.

It could be that in front of person A, your behavior is considered good. However, in front of person B, it may be considered bad. You cannot satisfy all humans. Ignore what people say, because what needs to be satisfied is your heart. As long as you are sure that what you do is right, then do it. Do not pay attention to the discordant voices of others.

Avoid Toxic Friends

Not everyone is worthy of being a friend. You must be able to choose the right friends. Toxic friends will destroy your life. Toxic friends are usually marked by their frequent jealousy and leading you to things that harm you.

A toxic friend can be marked by if you are happy, they are sad. If you are in trouble, they are happy instead. Are there friends like this? Of course, there are.

Simplify Others' Affairs

Do you feel happy if your affairs are simplified? Of course! So do others. Others are also happy if their affairs are simplified by you. By simplifying others' affairs, they will pray for goodness and ease for you as well. This is certainly enjoyable if it turns out that their prayers are granted.

Those are 13 ways to please yourself. I hope you can practice them and feel the effects.
