HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY

 We see our mates receiving flowers, roses, and beautiful gifts from their man or woman on a special occasion like Valentines. 

What a beautiful occasion! 

If you don't want to be oppressed during love day, try to make yourself happy. 

One thing I learnt is to stay happy even if no one can. Don't wait for anyone to buy you flowers or take you out or make you feel loved, but you must make yourself happy. 

We only find joy when stay positive and grateful. No one wants to remain sad. Instead of looking moody when your friends are being showered with love, try to do something that can make you happy. 

Today, I made a few list of things you can do during love day. These are the list of how you can make yourself happy and not feel moody. 

I hope this helps and gives you the idea of what you can do. 

1. WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO YOURSELF

So many times we've forgotten that we ourselves need to read something that will enlighten our mind and make us feel loved. We have our pen, a paper and our heart, write down what you've always wanted to hear. Write down how you want your life to be. Write down your dreams. Write them down and read it. 

We don't have to wait for anyone to write us a love letter. If no one write to you, write to yourself. Make yourself feel loved. 

2. TAKE YOURSELF OUT

If you have the money, go out. Go to a movie night, a restaurant, to the beach, to a program, go for shopping. There are many places reserved for you. Go out with friends, go for picnic, help people. 

Stop staying bored when there are many places you can go to. Do something that you can keep as a memory. 

3. BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS 

I would really love to decorate my room with flowers. I really love flowers. I can't take my eyes off whenever I see a flower. They are so beautiful and lovely. I know I will get one when it's time. 

He didn't bring flowers for you? Then buy yourself flowers. Don't start expecting someone to shower you with roses or money bouquet. Go out and buy a pretty flowers you love. 

4. GO FOR A LONG WALK

There are times you need to reset, revisit and meditate. Take the time and go for a walk. As you walk, admire everything around you, watch and observe people, meditate on a word or scripture, smile, listen to music, enjoy nature. 

This is how you make yourself happy instead of brooding. It is a form of meditating and expressing how to you feel about what God has created. 

Find joy in all you do. 

5. REFRESH YOUR SPACE 

Many of us may be that type of person who don't always clear our space. In an attempt to make yourself happy, give yourself time to declutter and clear your space. Your bed, your kitchen, your book shelf, your wardrobe. Clear it and give it another look. Arrange your side and add spice to your space. 

Spending time clearing your space will create joy in you without thinking of who will buy you fancy things on valentine. 

6. SPEND TIME WITH GOD

God has so many love letter written in the Bible. He wants you to spend time reading and studying His Word. The most beautiful scripture for me is Isaiah 43:4. This scripture made me feel loved and reserved. 

If you want to read more love letters that will make you smile, study the Bible. You can make research on Google about scriptures that can make you smile. 

Be eager and ready to hear from God. Meditate on His word, spend time with Him and You will be more than happy. 

7. DANCE AND SING LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING 

Pick your phone, play that music you love, and dance to it. Sing along if you would. Be jovial, be happy. Stop being dull. 

8. READ BOOKS

Books that contribute to self growth, read them. While others can be busy with their partners, be busy improving yourself. 

Spend time reading a book based on Christianity, personal development, self growth, spiritual growth. Try bettering yourself this moment. 

If you want to have the right partner in future, work on yourself and you have to read more books. 

9. CREATE A PRAYER BOARD 

Pray for yourself, your family and friends. Pray for many things. Prayer is important. 

Grow yourself in prayers. You can get a book and write down what you want from God. 

Just as your mates get things from their beloved, you too can get things from God. 

Even if you have a valid partner, you can still tell God what you want. 

Tell God what's bothering you and how you feel. 

10. SHARE LOVE 

The last but not the least, Share love to others. People also need to be loved. We are expecting people to show love, well are you sharing love? 

Share love to your friends, family and mates. Write a letter of love to them, a letter of gratitude. If no one showed you love, that doesn't mean you shouldn't show others love. 

The Bible says, live a life of love. Love others the way Christ loved us. Let's make it a habit to love others. 

May the Lord make us happy as we begin to show love to ourselves. 

Don't forget, eat well, be hydrated, smile more often, be happy and make yourself comfortable. 

God knows and sees your happy heart. 

I hope this helps. Sit down ad look for a creative way to make yourself happy. 

Remain blessed.
