It may be just a little song someone wrote, but it is the most sought after human desire would you agree? As social beings we need connection to find meaning on our journey through life, in our quest for happiness.

Here are some things you can do to raise our vibration.

Express Your Heart:

Find a real human and talk face to face, about your feelings, about you. (not politics, sport, external things)
Ask how they are doing before you share all of yours.

Practise active responsive listening.  It’s a great way to develop deeper relationships. After that you may find it easier to express your feelings.

Practise Acts of Kindness:

This is one of the biggest secrets to happiness. Small acts of kindness can do wonders eg call a relative who lives alone, wave or smile at a neighbour, express gratitude, more than a quick thanks.

Keep Moving:

Regular exercise has a powerful effect on mood, generating natural happy endomorphins. Find something that suits you and get in the happy habit.

Find Your Flow:

Find something creative that you love doing, that you have some skill in, and that is a little challenging. The challenge and skill should be a good fit. When you are in flow state, what you are doing has your total timeless focus. Gardening, sports, playing an instrument, writing, painting, hiking…

Find Gratitude:

It’s easy when things are going well to feel grateful, but when it’s been a bad day, what can we do? Take a bird’s view of the day or situation, notice all the good things. Make a list every day of gratitude for the smallest things. What you might take for granted is a true luxury or gift.

Do Forgiveness:

At the end of the day, try the three types of forgiveness before you sleep. Forgive anyone for the pain they caused you. Ask for forgiveness for what you have caused known or unknown. Then forgive yourself, reassuring your Inner Self you were doing your best under the circumstances.

Sing Don’t Worry Be Happy:….or anything else that makes you smile.
