The Secret To Happiness: 8 Mental Habits Of The Happiest Women I know

We are all surrounded by inspiring women who are self-fulfilled and strong. They radiate with vibes of positive energy and happiness. Led by my curiosity, I wanted to reveal the secret to their happiness and successful life.

What do they do differently? What habits do they create and practice? What’s their healthiest mental habit?… These are the questions that wandered my mind, so I decided to find out the truth by asking the women I admire the most. This is what I concluded.

Real happiness lies within ourselves. Health and happiness are deeply connected. When we talk about health, it’s not only about the absence of disease, but the relationship we have with ourselves, the attitude toward life.

These women create set of healthy mental habits and practice them every day. In fact, that’s not a secret, not at all. These habits are simple, and everyone can put them into practice.

Here are 8 mental habits these happy women share.

1. They set healthy boundaries.

Happy women are not afraid to say “No”. They don’t let abusive people get close to their life and threaten their peace of mind.

However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t love someone. They just keep a healthy distance, trying to prevent themselves from possible pain. Healthy boundaries help them form and maintain healthy relationships.

2. They prioritize self-care.

If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others -happy women know that. Therefore, they take care of themselves and know when to put their needs before others.

Happy women always try to find some time for themselves and do the things they enjoy the most. They know that their mental, physical and emotional health is the most important thing.

3. They don’t hesitate to ask for help.

For example, when raising a child. When a happy woman needs help, she will ask for it. That doesn’t make her weak but leaves much more time and space for her own activities.

Also, happy women are always ready to lend a helping hand when someone needs them.

4. They don’t care about being liked.

Happy women are not concerned about what other people think or say about them. They don’t care about Facebook likes. They’re focused on their life, trying to accomplish their mission and goals.

Happy women don’t care about being liked, they care about being respected.

5. They enjoy the present moment.

Past should be where it is- in the past. Happy women neither dwell on their past nor make plans for future. They cherish the beauty of the present moment.

What is most important, they don’t take life too seriously and always look on the bright side of it. We are all people, we all make mistakes. We all go through difficulties. It’s important to go through them with a smile.

6. They choose a partner but don’t mind being alone.

Happy women know their worth. They know what they want and don’t settle for less. Therefore, they carefully choose a partner.

Happy women learn to enjoy their own company. They will rather be alone than in an unhealthy, dangerous relationship.

7. They are grateful, forgive and forget.

Life is too short to be angry at someone. Happy women want to break free from the cage of their anger and negative energy. Therefore, they forgive and forget.

Happy women are grateful for breathing, being alive. They’re grateful for each new opportunity, every new day.

8. They see the good in others.

This is the most important mental habit happy women practice. They put themselves in other people’s shoes and try to understand them instead of judging.

Happy women always try to see the good in others. They teach themselves to turn the negative energy into positive. This helps them become happier, more loving. Not only it benefits them, it benefits other people and the overall happiness of the world.
