Love. According to researchers studying happiness, that’s a thing we should get more of in our daily lives. But how to find love?
Many researchers suggest that we could experience more love by spending more time with other people. However, in the Western world, more and more people live alone, and living alone usually means spending a lot of time alone.
Not all relationships increase love and happiness.
Even if you have people around you, it is not that simple. Although building good relationships and spending time with others is essential, not all the time spent with others increases your happiness—sometimes even the opposite. Some people are more or less exhausting energy robbers.
So, how do you find love in your life?
You cannot force others to love you (at least it won’t be very easy) or even be helpful to you. What you can do is deliver love and acceptance to others.
The spirit of a happy community
Try to spend more time with the essential people in your life. Plan movie nights or small parties for your gangs. (It does matter if your gang is three little kids and a big and smelling dog, a weird neighbor, or ex-members of your soccer team) You can always build the spirit of the happy community around you.
If you have a lot of daily duties, try to do them with someone you like instead of alone.
Find love by thinking loving thoughts.
When you are alone, think of loving thoughts about your dearest people. Send them messages and carry their photos in your wallet. Even when you cannot be with them, your heart and soul can.
According to happiness research, that keeps the love flowing and increases your happiness.
Be loving and friendly to all your fellows. Do small favors to people around you. Smile at the strangers you meet. When doing this, you do not help only others; you allow yourself to be happier and more optimistic. After a while, delivering more love makes you feel happier and more loved.
Love is a vast universal power, not meant only for romantic couples or families. It is there available for everyone. Find love, share it, and spread it around. The more you give, the more you get.
