10 Things to Remind Yourself of Every Morning to Have a Happier Day


Although you may not always love everything about your life, it’s important to be grateful for a new day, each day. You may have lots of problems and you may not feel happy this morning but you need to be grateful for the fact that you are alive and that you have another day to make your life happier. Everything and anything is possible in this life, you just need to believe in that.

See the 10 things after the cut...

Unfortunately, many of us don’t always believe we can change our lives; we often believe otherwise. Many people believe they’re not capable of living their lives the way they want to live them, and they accept their reality as others have told them it has to be.
If you want to live your life to the fullest, without regrets, you need to keep in mind that you always have a choice and you are the only person who can decide to let things make you happy or unhappy. If you choose to be happy, trust me, no one will make you unhappy. Read on to discover a few important things you should remind yourself of every morning to have a happier day, each day.

1. This day is a blessing

Just think of how many people die each day and you will realize that waking up to see another day to enjoy life is a real blessing. When you wake up in the morning, remind yourself that this day is a blessing. You get another day to breathe, enjoy life, and reach your goals.

2. This day can be happy, but only if you make it so

Stop feeling powerless and stop waiting for things to be given to you. It’s your life so make the most of it. If you want something to achieve – work for it. No matter what the weather, today is a good day, even if you have a bad mood. You always have the power to control your mood and you always have the power to have a productive and happy day, you just need to choose to have one.

3. No one can hurt you today

Remember no one can hurt you today, unless you let them do it. If someone hurts you, don’t take it personally. Don’t allow insults to get to your heart and make sure you avoid toxic people. When you don’t take anything personally, you feel happier and nothing keeps your from reaching your goals. Learn to live your life without worrying about the judgments of others and you will become a much happier person.

4. Stay calm in tough situations

Staying calm and kind in difficult situations is a huge challenge. Tough situations can happen each day. The problem is, how are you going to respond to them? You may get upset and angry and this will ruin your entire day. Or, you may stay calm and kind, solve your problem faster and enjoy a happy day. The choice is yours. But remember, anger will never help solve problems. It can only make your life miserable.

5. You can control many things in your life

Sure, you can’t control everything in your life, but there are many things that you can control each day. Stop thinking that your life is out of your control. Take some time to make the list of the things you can control in life and look through this list every morning. You will see that you are a master of your life and you have the power to change anything about your life.

6. Success is a lifestyle, not a result

Everyone wants to be successful, but we often forget that success isn’t a specific achievement. Success is a lifestyle. It’s the ability to live life on your own terms no matter what. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” If you decide to be successful, you will be successful. Stay positive, work toward success and be proud of it each day.

7. You don’t need anyone’s approval

Remind yourself that you don’t need anyone’s approval to be successful and happy today. The need for approval can stop you from reaching your goals and rising higher. Don’t let anyone control your life. It may feel uncomfortable to say “no,” but if some people and obligations don’t add any value to your life, don’t be afraid to say “no” to them. Make the most of each day. Don’t wait around for someone else to give you permission to be happy and do what you want to do.

8. Complaining won’t help you become happier

If you are a constant complainer, you need to break this bad habit starting today. Complaining won’t help you become successful and happy. If you don’t like your current situation, don’t sit around complaining about it, start changing it instead. Stay positive in every situation and you will solve your problems faster without damaging your health. It has been proven that complaining is bad for the brain health. Moreover, it can affect your quality of life and ruin your relationships.

9. Good things in life end faster when you don’t appreciate them

We often tend to think that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and others live much happier lives than we live. The reality is, the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence and you live a happy life – you just don’t appreciate it or simply don’t notice it. Learn to appreciate all the things you have in your life to live a more fulfilling life. Don’t wait for them to end before you begin appreciating them. Being grateful has its rewards. I recommend you to start your day with writing down at least 5 things, people, acts or events you are grateful for to have a happier day.

10. Healthy eating is the key to a longer life

Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you to stick to a strict diet. But if you want to live a longer life, make sure you eat healthy foods daily. Avoid processed foods and try to boost your fruit and vegetable intake. Never skip your breakfast, and aim to eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast will jump-start your brain and help improve your productivity and focus throughout the morning. Eating small, healthy meals throughout the day will keep your tummy happy and healthy, and boost your energy levels and mood. I don’t know about you, but when I’m hungry I can’t be productive and happy, which is why I always have a nutritious breakfast and make smart snack choices throughout the day. It helps me to work better, feel better, and hopefully, live longer! The next time you wake up in the morning and don’t feel like eating your breakfast, remind yourself that healthy eating is the key to a longer, happier life.

There are many important things we need to remind ourselves of every morning. These are just a few things I remind myself in the morning and when I have a hard day. They help me remember that life is a wonderful thing no matter what. What are some of your favorite things to remind yourself of every morning to have a happier day?
