Hopefully your doctor has a protocol for happiness post-stroke. I am probably the happiest I've ever been in my life.

Like everyone else in the world,
I want to be happy. I want to accomplish crazy dreams, have an amazing relationship with myself, and be surrounded by awesome and loving people.
However, also like everyone else, I genuinely struggle to attain
happiness – and keep it. It makes us all wonder how others in comparison
have achieved their dreams and are always living life to the fullest.
I’m here to tell you the truth and epic secret to being happy: the
success and happiness of someone lies in their daily habits. Because
when you’re working towards a goal every day, you eventually come to see
that happiness is a constant experience and feeling, rather than just
an end result.
These are ten habits of happy people we should care to incorporate into our own lives.
Treat Ourselves With Kindness
More often than not, we tend to treat others with more kindness and
compassion than we do ourselves. We genuinely don’t give ourselves
enough credit. But by
treating ourselves with kindness and understanding despite our struggles and downfalls, we realize that a fulfilling life starts with loving ourselves.
Let Go of Petty Situations
Unexpected and unpleasant events occur all the time. However, that doesn’t mean we should constantly
let them get to us.
By brushing off the insignificant things in your life, such as getting
angry in traffic or feeling embarrassed, you’ll realize that there are
better ways for you to invest your time and energy.
Unplug technology when needed
We live in a technological society where it seems that everyone is
plugged in and distracted all day, every day. However, separating
yourself from the phenomenon of
technology addiction will enable you to be aware and open to connecting with the world and people around you instead.
Keep up Organization in a Physical And Mental Space
Routines give a life structure
and maximize productivity. By following a routine, one is able to
tackle the entire day with goal-oriented mindset. Without a routine, you
may find yourself lost with what to do in a day could possibly waste
valuable time.
Stay in the Present
It’s easy to get lost in our heads and wish
for different things to happen in our lives. There is nothing wrong with
daydreaming or reminiscing, but to let your mind stay in the past or
dream of a future too much will prevent you from doing the things you
need to do right now.
Allow Ourselves to Feel Emotions
Contrary to popular belief, emotions do not make you weak – they make you human.
Allowing yourself to feel your true and raw emotions
is a sign of self-awareness and self-love. Suppressing your emotions is
very unhealthy. Therefore, let yourself cry when you’re sad or scream
to the sky when you’re angry.
Put Wishes Into Action
We all have goals we wish to accomplish in life. However, how many of us
actually follow through
with the things we want to do? Happy people know not to make excuses or
procrastinate when it comes to their dreams. They understand that they
need to always take action and be goal-oriented every day.
Exercise And Eat Healthy
Exercising and eating healthy
keeps the body strong and mind happy.
Your body will feel at its optimum best if you eat healthy food and
make the effort to hit the gym every day. Proper diet and exercise will
clear your head and you will feel more motivated to take action.
Practice Good Decision Making
In life we choose to say either “yes” or “no” to events, relationships, and choices. Happy individuals
never settle for less than what they deserve and
always seek to improve themselves. In order to live a happy life, it is
crucial to learn how to say “yes” to productive relationships and
opportunities and “no” to the toxic ones.
Take Time to Recharge and Be Alone
Socializing
and the craziness of life takes a toll on everyone. But to sustain your
happiness and keep your sanity, it’s best to take a step back from your world
and be with yourself. We sometimes get so caught up in life that we
forget who we are. We need to return to a sense of grounded awareness,
rather than forcing our minds to be busy with worries, work, and future
obligations.
