It finally feels like spring weather! The beautiful flowers are sprawled everywhere, the weather is hitting high 60s and 70s and everyone is dressed in bright spring like clothes.

Springtime just reminds us of happiness and it is important that although it may be beautiful outside, we feel beautiful on the inside too! Spring is the best time to get rid of any obstacles that are weighing you down, change the way you think, or find a new hobby. Spring is almost like a time for mental and physical cleansing of your body.

In order to spring into happiness the best ways to do so are to get rid of negative thoughts, become more thankful, find activities or people that make you happy, and just be an overall positive person. Yes, it may be difficult at first, but take small steps to make a happier you!

Here are a few ways that can make you are more positive and happy person:

1. Exercise: it is definitely important to exercise especially if you want a physical cleansing of your body. By doing any form of exercise such as yoga, dance or hitting the gym, you can take this time to release any stress or anger within you and focus solely on creating a physically happier you!

2. Be thankful: it is important that in our busy lives we make sure to be thankful for all that we have. So, instead of focusing on everything that is going wrong, be grateful for everything that you are fortunate enough to have even if it is not exactly what you had hoped for.

3. Surround yourself with positive people: this is by far the most important way to be positive and happy. When we are on campus we are surrounded by people, whether it is in the classroom, your dorm room, or hanging out with friends. If you have company that is always upset or negative it will have the same affect on you. Make sure that you have friends who bring you up and make you happy.

“Don’t let the silly little things steal your happiness.”
