When it comes to our lives, adding more joy and happiness into our daily routine never seems to be a deliberate thought. If we do think about it, we consider it an indulgence or perhaps something that happens accidentally, never intentionally. Why is that? Don't we deserve to live our best lives? After all, the key to happiness is to lose your ego and ambition and to acquire a vision and a mission. And that vision and mission should be to create a positive mindset through self care and preventative medicine.
Here are some simple ways you can implement changes into your daily routine that will help you to find the key to happiness.

Why Self-Care And Your Mindset Could Be The Key To Happiness
Take Time For You
One of the first things you can do to encourage you to indulge in a little more self-care is to take some time out for you. This can be the simplest of tasks that you do, but often give you the greatest results. It might be that you run a nice hot bath and indulge in some luxury bath accessories to enjoy it with. Or you can look at doing things like going to bed earlier to read a book, enjoying a nice meal that you haven’t had to cook, or taking more time with your skincare routine than your normally would. These things enable you to take a step back, and to really appreciate the time that you have.
Exercising Can Do Wonders
Many of us are completely aware of the value of exercise when it comes to our day to day lives, but often the issue is that we don’t tend to have the time to attend lengthy gym sessions, and some of us can be put off by group workouts. It isn’t always about attending a gym, but making a choice to be more active daily can make the biggest difference to your mood and your mindset. Try going out for a walk, taking the stairs or parking a little further away than you normally would. It could help to make you feel completely different.
"Self-care is the non-negotiable. That's the thing that you have to do. And beauty is the thing that can be the benefit of the self-care. Beauty is not the point. Beauty is just a cute side-effect from self-care." ~ Jonathan Van Ness
A Change In Diet And Taking A Balanced Approach
You may find that doing something such as changing your diet can have a significant change on how you feel, the amount of energy you have and generally your mood. Food is such an important aspect of our lives, which means it can be hard to not stay on track when the temptation of cake and ice cream is just too much. However, a balanced approach can be good for the soul. Eating the tempting things in moderation and ensuring you nourish your body with what it needs to survive.
Your Mindset And Changing Old Habits
Finally, a change of mindset might be all you need to help you change old habits. It might feel forced to focus on your thought process at first, but often negativity needs to be combated by actively making a change. Thinking positively and ensuring that you have that outlook on life. The more you do it, the more natural it will become.
