White Night – Anna Akhmatova

There will be thunder then. Remember me.
Say โ€˜ She asked for storms.โ€™ The entire
world will turn the colour of crimson stone,
and your heart, as then, will turn to fire.๐Ÿ’ฅ

That day, in Moscow, a true prophecy,
when for the last time I say goodbye,
soaring to the heavens that I longed to see,
leaving mI haven’t locked the door,
Nor lit the candles,
You don’t know, don’t care,
That tired I haven’t the strength
To decide to go to bed.
Seeing the fields fade in
The sunset murk of pine-needles,
And to know all is lost,๐Ÿ’ฅ

That life is a cursed hell:
I’ve got drunk
On your voice in the doorway.
I was sure you’d come back.๐Ÿ’ฅ

Pleasure โœจโœจ

The pursuit of happiness seems to be one of the worldโ€™s eternal questions. It has been the subject of books, movies, and TV shows for years and yet seems to remain a mystery to many people.

However, being happy doesnโ€™t have to be a cryptic, elusive goal. There are specific tangible steps, many backed by science, which you can take daily to be happier in your life. One of the ways to make yourself or someone a bit more comfortable is to try a photo session. There are many ideas for photography. Beautiful photos cheer up and improve self-esteem.

Here are simple ways you can pursue happiness in your day-to-day life.

Practice Gratitude
Youโ€™ve probably heard the term โ€œgratitudeโ€ used a lot recently. It has become something of a fad in the past few years. This is more than simply a passing trend โ€“ according to the Harvard Medical School, positive psychology research has shown that taking the time to give thanks is directly linked to increased happiness.

In simple terms, the idea of gratitude is all about consciously appreciating and giving thanks for the good things you have and experience. This can be a challenge in a modern mindset that focuses on criticizing and problem-solving. However, straightforward ways to implement this in real terms include keeping a gratitude journal: sitting down for 10-15 minutes every day and recording what you are thankful for.

Now that doesnโ€™t sound too hard, does it?

Do The Things You Enjoy
This may seem obvious: do fun things in order to be happy! However, it is surprising how often we forget to do the things we enjoy, prioritizing work, family, and other commitments. Start with a small exercise: think about all the things you spent time on in the last week and how much of that was doing the things you enjoy the most? If the answer is very little (or no) time, it is time to change that: determine the items you want the most, whether this is a sport, hobby, or spending time with friends or family, and schedule time for these every week.

Learn To Love Your Job
Unless itโ€™s one of the rare cases that itโ€™s simply time to quit your job, you are probably operating under unnecessary negativity, which can be overcome to help you to love your job. Learning to love what you do for most of your time is essential for your overall happiness. Often, this is simply about a mind shift: practicing gratitude, reconnecting with your primary motivations, and getting more involved with your workplace and your workplace can all help you to appreciate and love what you do. Andinspireme allows businesses to help positive workplaces where team members genuinely love their work, allowing them to be happy in the workplace and in general.

Celebrate
Another essential part of happiness, which we often overlook in our busy modern lives, is celebrating the good things which happen to us. It can be too easy to focus on challenges and problems, so we skim over the good stuff to move on to the next crisis that we feel needs to be addressed. However, it is equally important to take the time to celebrate the positives, and taking the time to do this is vital to your happiness. This doesnโ€™t need to be a significant event such as an anniversary or graduation; it could simply mean recognizing and celebrating something good in your life, such as a relationship, friendship, or the job you love!

Establish Better Self-Confidence
Unhappiness and a lack of self-confidence are closely linked. A lack of confidence in yourself, particularly negative self-image and self-talk can be highly damaging to your happiness. Building better self-confidence involves training your brain to think differently. This takes the form of specific mental exercises such as visualizing your best self, writing a list of the qualities you have that you like the most, and thinking about your strengths. By practicing these thought processes, you will replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk instead, building a more constructive mindset that will make you happier daily.

Dream Big
Often we can be limited in pursuing the things which will make us truly happy by our negativity. We tell ourselves that the things we want to do are impossible. Therefore, we donโ€™t even try. However, no dream is too big if you have enough determination: for example, see this inspiring story of Neeraj, who conquered Mt Kilimanjaro on one leg.

Whatever your dream, whether it is to own your own business, follow a specific career path, or move to a particular place, stop thinking that it can never happen and instead start thinking about what you need to do to make it happen.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don’t look back at it too long. Mistakes are life’s way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

Night

Last night I couldnโ€™t sleep; I wasnโ€™t stressed, instead it was a beautiful, exhilarating, creative insomniaโ€“probably the result of having spent my previous evening watching the sunset by the ocean. Since I usually like to sleep nude, I got up and picked a pair of Pjโ€™s and robe (weather is still cold) and went outside. [โ€ฆ]

The Romance of Love

One half of me is a hopeless romantic, the other half is so damn realistic. The most romantic love story isnโ€™t Romeo and Juliet who died together. Itโ€™s also not Titanic. Iโ€™ll have you know that the movie โ€˜Titanicโ€™ is actually a horror movie for men. At no point in the movie where the lives [โ€ฆ]

In its frank surrender;

With the vowing of thy mouth,

๐Ÿ’ฅ With its silence tender.

Made for earnest granting;

๐Ÿ’ฅ Taking colour from the skies,

๐Ÿ’ฅ Can Heaven’s truth be wanting?

Up the woodlands shady:

Love me gaily, fast and true,

As a winsome lady.

Farther off or nigher,

Love me for the house and grave,

And something higher.๐Ÿ’ฅ

Thus, if thou wilt proves me,

Dear, ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Woman’s love no fable, ๐Ÿ’ฅ

I will love thee half a year ๐Ÿ’ฅ
