Happiness is not something that lays on a golden tray, somewhere beyond the horizon, away from out reach. Many researches today, prove that each of us is happy only until the limit he or she sets to themselves. It means, we decide how happy we are, and how happy we want to be. It’s all in our hands and in our full control, so let’s see how we can raise the bar and decide to be happier with our lives.
- Be grateful for what you have. This is at times hard, but if you chance your view point on things you have and possess, you will see that your life is much better than you thought it is. You hate your small house? You are not homeless, and there are sure hundreds if not millions of people living in much worse conditions. Don’t like your job? At least you have one and it pays. Hate your reflection in the mirror? There are so many bigger problems in this world, surely many would be glad to have yours. If you got what you have now in life, and for sure I know you have access to Internet, which again many would die to have, your life is not that bad!
- Count the positive things. Every day and week is dynamic, sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good… Sometimes these are problems, other times just great news, but many people tend to concentrate on the negative side of events. Naturally, most of the times the negative events are more memorable due to their consequences and damage they cause, but this is exactly why you have to force yourself and concentrate, count and look forward to the positive events that happen in your life and surely some do.
- Say a little pray. Regardless your religion, turning to God cannot have negative effect. When you pray you fill yourself with hopes not to mention that you relax and find peace. Religious people would confirm the actual help praying can bring, so weather you choose to meditate for your peace of mind, or pray to your God and ask for certain help, you will get closer to happier life.
- Keep a diary of good stuff. It may sound silly, but it works for millions of people. All you need to do is buy a small notebook, and every day when something positive happened, write it down, just as a title. For example “today I got bonus at work”… “I finally found the book I was looking for in stores”… “A friend I didn’t see for long time — called”, etc. Eventually, when your little book will gain some weight and you feel down and miserable, open it and read your “good events diary”. I promise you, your mood will improve and you will start thinking positively.
- Spoil your senses. Or in other words, just spoil yourself. Take care of your body and health, take at least one day a week and dedicate it to yourself, buy yourself something you wanted for long time, take a relaxing bath, whatever makes YOU happy. Don’t think about pleasing others, just be selfish (unless it comes at someone’s happiness cost) and do what you enjoy. When your senses will be happy, you will be too.
Finally, don’t worry, be happy
