Live Love & Surf

Creating Happiness in Your Life by Being Active!!

“Be healthy. Be happy.” It’s what every LoveSurf girl lives by. Living a healthy lifestyle is directly connected to happiness. When you feel good about yourself, you feel your happiest. There are hundreds of ways you can create happiness in your life, but one of our favorites is living an active lifestyle. A quick surf, dip in the ocean, run outdoors or a couple sun salutations can boost your mood and make you a more joyful person.

We all know fitness can do incredible things for our body, but what is often forgotten is how fitness effects our brain. Exercise is one of the keys to happiness. Working out releases chemicals called endorphins which lower stress and make you feel in a state of total elation. Using fitness to feel happier is fun and can also create opportunities to interact with others and strengthen relationships. Ready to break a sweat yet? Get outside with a friend and motivate each other to work your hardest.

Happiness is all about balance. At times it may seem hard to have it all together. Try to slow down, take a deep breath and reflect on what makes you happy. Dedicate your time to these aspects of your life. Whether it be family, friends, recreational activities, your career or health–it all comes down to striving for balance and creating your unique formula for happiness.
