you are thinking of making any big changes- health or
other, make sure you do your research and consult

Everything we do, we do in the pursuit of happiness- I
read this in a book a few days back and first thought it
wasnt true, but when you actually break down
everything you do, be it positively or negatively
charged you do to either create more happiness or totry and keep hold of your happiness.
When you eat you do so to be contented. When you go
to work you do so to try and create more freedom and
happiness. Even when you argue with someone in the

cue in Starbucks- you do so because you are trying to
preserve your happiness.
Many mental health problems arise as a result ofpursuing happiness. Wars break out because scared
men and women are having there happiness
compromised. Even an abusive partner, acts abusively
because they are terrified that someone is going to
come and take their loved one and happiness awayfrom them.
Happiness is elusive, irrational and can at times be an
emotional roller coaster. Its pursuit can make you feel
good, bad and everything in between.
The fact is happiness is important, we all want it- even
if it is on an unconscious level and in this article I am
going to give you 33 Simple Ways To Be Happy, Healthy
And Spirituality Connected
Express Gratitude-
Do you know when the best time to express gratitude
is? When it feels like everything is falling apart.

When you look you will always find something that you
can be happy about!
Show gratitude for everything that shows up in yourlife, big or small. Do this every day and you will soon
realise just how blessed you already are.
Show Compassion-
If there is something you can do to help someone then
do it! We have all been down on our luck at some
point, so treat people with the love and kindness you
would like to be treated with.
Think of life like a big circle, what you put out to the
world eventually comes back around. So be
compassionate at every possible opportunity and the
world will reflect this kindness straight back at you.
Show Empathy-
Empathy is a little different from compassion, it is the
ability to walk in someone elses shoes, view the worldfrom their perspective and try to understand why they
are doing what they are doing or why they are in the
situation they are in.

Empathise with everyone, even those who make you
feel bad. Because those who make you feel bad are
projecting their pain and insecurities onto the world, itis not your job to take on the problems of the world,
but just realise that anyone who acts out is doing it out
of their own pain and suffering, not because there is
something wrong with you.
Ask For Guidance-
Being non-religious, but spiritual this one was a little
weird for me. But prayer works, even if you are unsure
who/what it is exactly you are praying to.
There are 2 ways that this could be working- Firstly it
could be working like an affirmation, which
strengthens your mind to work more effectively or
secondly it could be a connection to something more
significant than ourselves which guides us.
However it works the fact remains that it does work, so
ask for guidance, ask to be better, ask for miracles and
they will show up.
Follow The Synchronicities-

Its like the scene from the movie The Matrix, when on
Neos his computer screen it says- Follow the white
rabbit, then some people come around to buy acomputer programme and ask him out for drinks,
which he declines.
Then as they go to leave he sees a white rabbit tattoo
on the womans shoulder and follows it.I dontwant to
spoil the movie for anyone who hasnt seen it, but letsjust say the world starts to make a lot more sense to
him after that.
You will have moments like this in your life, when
things/people/opportunities pop up and help you on
your path, this is a sign you are onto something big. Sowhen these meaningful coincidences happen, go with
it and follow the white rabbit each time it shows its
head.
Meditate-
Take time out every single day to meditate, its easy, its
free and it is the most spiritually connecting thing you
can do.

It doesnt have to be long, if your mind will only allow
you to focus for a minute or two then just take that
short moment and work your way up. Keep it simple,use music if you need to, focus on your breath and just
meditate.
Use Sound-
Sound is powerful as it has the ability to change your
state in an instant. Use meditation music to relax you
and uplifting music to motivate you.
You can also use mantras, Tibetan bowls or any sounds
that help you to feel more connected.
Watch The Sky Day And Night-
Lay down outside in the daytime and watch the clouds
go by and in the night watch the stars go by.
In the day it is like you are viewing your world and the
sky that contains it and when it gets to the night time
you realise how small we are in an expansive universe .
Sky gazing is a very meditative experience so take time
out every once in a while to view the universe around
you.

Listen To Your Body-
As a result of becoming more spiritually connected you
will become more connected to your body. So listen toit carefully as sometimes it will be able to tell you what
is wrong before your mind can.
Learn about the Chakras and what each of them
represents and when a feeling arises in a particular
area you will be able to connect the feelings of
disharmony with the chakra to help fix the imbalance.
Use Imagery-
There are images related to each chakra that you can
use for meditation. Sacred geometry is also something
that you can either visualise or physically look at for
spiritual practice.
But not only that, you can use pictures of loved ones,
pictures of your goals or any image that resonates with
you deeply as a little reminder to stay present.
Do What You Love-
There is nothing that will make you more happy than
doing what you love, so if you cant do what you love

all the time, at least take out some time every day to
do things that you love.
What are your hobbies, your interests or the things youfeel drawn to? Take time out every day to connect with
what it is you love to do!
Fast-
I am not a doctor, so please consult a medical
professional if you are thinking of fasting. With that
being said fasting is one of the most grounding things
you can do.
It can be challenging, because your stomach is telling
you to grab for food. But if you can get over them
initial cravings it will not only give your digestive
system a rest, but also give you some deep reflective
thinking time.
Just make sure if you are going to fast that your day is
going to be one of rest, because while fasting is great
when you are able to relax, if you are busy while
fasting you will just be hungry and pissed off.
Forgive-

Holding on to grudges do not serve you, so practice
letting go, even if you have to start small. It is like what
I said about empathy a minute ago, try to put yourselfin the shoes of the person who has wronged you.
If it is something really big, think of what they must
have experienced in their lives to do something so bad.
To forgive is not to accept that person back or even
forget the pain that they have caused, and you dont
even need to let them know you have forgiven them.
What it is, is you taking control of your life and letting
go of the pain and suffering someone has caused.
Tell People How You Feel (Just The Positive Stuff)-
If you love someone, tell them you love them. If
someone has had a significant impact on your life, let
them know what they mean to you. Connect with
those around you and dont be afraid to let people
know how you feel!
Be Patient-
I mean this spiritually and generally- In your spiritual
practice there will be some moments when you feel
like giving up. Keep moving forward and keep your

practice up. Spirituality opens up your mind to a lot of
things, just trust the process and keep on going.
The same applies for your day to day life, you cant
have everything now. So when aiming for something
and it feels a long way away, just remind yourself of
how far you have come, what you are doing to make it
happen and practice being patient.
Be Vulnerable-
You dont have to have all the answers and there will
be times when you struggle to hold it together. Dont
worry you are not a machine. Learn what your flaws
are and accept them, be vulnerable and be around
people who accept that.
Write Down Your Thoughts-
Journal as often as you can, because some of the
biggest revelations about yourself will come from here.
Make sure you have lots of pads of paper and pens
lying around the house and try not to leave the house
without something you can write your thoughts on.

Another good thing about this is you can come back to
these thoughts and see how far you have come and
how you came to some of the conclusions in your life.It is also very therapeutic to let out your thoughts and
feelings and will open up your mind and help you to
connect to yourself.
Connect With The World-
Get out into nature every once in a while, take long
walks and use these moments to ground yourself and
be fully present and in the moment.
It is also good to connect with people, even if you are
not talking or socialising with them. Go out in rush
hour and walk around the busy streets or go to a
shopping centre and just watch the people go by. But
dont be busy yourself, just observe and connect with
those around you.
Read-
Read stories, read blog posts, read motivational stuff
and read about what matters to you. Read to learn,
read for fun and read just to be inspired. Take time out
every day to read, even if it is just 5 or 10 minutes.

Read Koans-
Koans are derived from Zen Buddhism and are amazing
for getting you to think outside the box and gainingsome serious clarity.
These tricky little riddles are my go to source for
getting unstuck in life, so if you are ever feeling deep
and a little unsure of where you are going read a Koan
to help gain some perspective.
Be In The Moment-
Those moments of the day when we are meditating are
us practicing being present. That is why it is called
meditation practice.
You want to transfer that presence to your day to day
life- Eat consciously, play consciously, talk consciously
and try to live as much of your life as humanly possible
in the present moment.
Walk-
Walk and be present while you do so, there are not
many problems in this world that cannot be solved or

processed by walking. If you cannot solve the problem,
then just walk longer.
Walking is good exercise, but also can take you awayfrom the day to day grind. Find some time when you
are not too busy and walk until you have solved your
biggest problems.
Add Some Zen To Your Personal Space-
Pictures of loved ones, motivational pictures, crystals,
statues, screensavers and incense, just a few ideas of
things you can use to add some Zen to your space.
These will serve as a reminder and also make your
space feel like it has some life in it, so surround
yourself with things that you love so you have lots of
little reminders.
Reflect-
Reflect on the good things and the bad things and
everything in between. Look at how far you have comein the world, where you can improve and all that you
have accomplished.
http://localhost/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_5/WWW.POTENTIALFORCHANGE.COMhttp://localhost/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_5/WWW.POTENTIALFORCHANGE.COMhttp://localhost/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_5/WWW.POTENTIALFORCHANGE.COM -

Write things down, think about them and schedule as
much time as you possibly can for conscious reflection.
Work Out-
A lot of people are working out for the wrong reasons-
I dont want to be fat anymore, willnot get you out of
bed in the morning.
Do exercise that you love, do it consciouslyand do it
for genuine positively charged reasons. There is
nothing more spiritual than the euphoric feeling of
pushing your body to the limit and completing an
exercise that resonates with you and it also has the
positive side effect of being pretty good for you to.
Observe People-
Get to know people in general, I am not just speaking
about those who are already in your life. There is a
massive world out there and what is normal to you is
alien to others and the same can be said about what is
normal to them.
See what makes other people tick, and what other
peoples routines look like. Watch people in your car or

on the bus or on the train. It is amazing how different
we all are, while all being so similar.
People are great, so in a non-judgemental way, justobserve and see what they are up to.
Visualise-
There are many ways that you can visualise- for more
spiritual visualisation try to envision the person you
want to be. Visualise yourself being compassionate,
loving, kind and empathetic.
You can visualise for motivation or reaching goals on
both a short term and long term basis. For this visualise
yourself going through every step of completing the
goals and feeling the feeling it gives you.
Take time out every day to visualise and imagine
yourself being the best you can be and then live out
the vision in your life.
Give-
One of the most satisfying things you can do is to give,
so if you have acquired skills or have something that
you can share with the world then just do it.

Give compassion, give kindness, give love and expect
nothing in return. When you indiscriminately give, the
world has a way of paying you back, so give what youcan!
Eat-
Food is one of the fundamentals that we need for our
survival so learn about food. Eat food that tastes good
and gives you energy. Eat food that will sustain you.
Food is something that we need every day, so eat
consciously, taste every bite and forget to enjoy it.
Breathe-
Dont forget to breathe, breathe deeply, breathe
consciously, take in the air and give thanks for it.
Realise how blessed you are to be a living, breathing,
thinking and feeling human being.
Sleep-
To function on a normal level you will need plenty ofsleep. So if you are tired dont reach for the coffee,
sleep! Most people need to sleep around 8 hours a
night, but not everyone is the same. Get to know your

body and the needs it has for sleep and dont forget
sleeping can actually be enjoyable!
Talk-
Find people you can connect with and talk to them.
Whatever it is you are experiencing in your life right
now there are people out there who have experienced
the same thing and would love to help you.
Talk to family, talk to friends, talk to mentors and talk
to strangers. Talk to learn and talk for fun. Just dont
forget to listen when doing so!
So that is it 33 things you can start doing now for more
health, happiness and spiritual connection. I think it is
important to understand that happiness is not
something we attain, but more something that we live.
Happiness is something that can thrive through
poverty and hardship. It is not exclusive to those who
have no problems; in fact you will generally find the
opposite to be true- that those who society says should
be happy are not and those who have suffered
tremendously are quite content in life.
