Seven simple things the most chill people do daily

Are there things that certain do more regularly than others that gives them a skip in their step?

We are what we repeatedly do, so perhaps if we repeatedly do the things that joyful people do we can begin to mould ourselves in a way that works for us.

Here are things these people do that we can emulate:

1. Decide to enjoy themselves.

No matter what. Enjoyment isn’t conditional. It’s mandatory.

This doesn’t mean smiling and laughing all the time.

Watch a painter deep in flow.

They’re serious, and their brow is furled. But they are enjoying the work.

That’s enjoyment.

2. Their work is also their hobby.

Nothing should be beneath you if you need money to get to a baseline income level.

Your happiness corresponds to the money you make up to a certain point.

Beyond this, where your passions and main line of work overlap is the sweet spot.

If you can figure out how to stay here more often, you have the advantage.

3. Don’t mind ‘looking bad.’
