Happiness Tip #31: Make Small Changes in Your Day-to-Day Life
By Vera Viner

Breast cancer survivors may have trouble moving past the terror and anxiety they felt throughout their illness even though they are now able to live their life without being stuck in the hospital. The problem many encounter is the potential for breast cancer recurrence. However, it may be wise to remember that all people are at risk of death at any point in their lives – whether they are middle-aged adults, the elderly, or even babies, toddlers,  or school children.
When it comes to dealing with the side effects of cancer treatment, it is important to stay positive and focus on the good things – specifically the fact that you’ve been given a chance to live out your life until old age!
If you are suffering from depression after being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer, the biggest tip for becoming happier is to make small changes every day aimed toward a more balanced mental state. These daily changes may be to just get yourself out of bed in the morning, showered, and dressed for the day ahead.
It is a good idea to set a schedule for yourself and add basic activities like cleaning the house, going grocery shopping, and cooking a meal. After some time, you may want to begin to go for walks or go to the gym in order to get some exercise. Additionally, you may want to begin going out with friends once you feel more stable. Why not go to the movies or out to a new restaurant? Before you know it, you’ll gain much more happiness and be able to move on with your life.
Today’s happiness tip revolves around making small changes every day in order to gain more happiness in the long run. Keeping yourself busy will keep your mind off of the pain you may be experiencing. Make sure to keep making those small changes!
