11 Tips to Live a Happier Life, According to Wellness Experts

Always put yourself first 

Sometimes, in certain relationships with the people around us and especially with the people we love, we tend to always please them, and most of the time this does not coincide with what we really want. So we do some things just to see other people happy, even though we break our principles and make compromises. 

Thus, if you want to be happy one of the most important steps is to learn to put yourself first, to make what makes you feel good and to love yourself, because at the end of the day you are the one who stays with you. If your happiness is based on other people’s happiness, they will take your happiness when they leave – so that’s the reason why you should love yourself. 

“The best way to be really truly happy is to love yourself. External happiness will be brought into your life when at your core you are genuine in your thoughts, words, and actions. Embrace your strengths and accept or change your struggles,” said Kelley Kitley, LCSW, the owner and psychotherapist at Serendipitous Psychotherapy, LLC.
