ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY?

It seems to me that happiness is the most important thing for this short life. Don't waste your life. Ask yourself “What do I want from life?” The answer almost always is "I want to be happy.” As you analyse your life you will find you have many reasons to be happy. Count your family, your looks (hehehe), your actually being alive. Decide to be Happy.


Here are some ways to be happy:

Step 1
Don't start big with meditation or trying to find your identity. Start with basics. Go to sleep at a decent hour. And don't get overly hungry. These two things have a big impact on happiness.

Step 2
As we know feelings follow actions. Act happy. Walk like you would if you were happy. Smile like you would if you were happy. Actually, try to feel like you are more happy. You will find yourself feeling happier.

Step 3
Give anger time to diminish. Having and showing anger related to any annoyances increases your feelings. If you wait, anger often diminishes. Don't start by acting out anger.

Step 4
Feelings often follow actions. Deliberately act happy. You will find yourself feeling happier. If you are angry. Do something or think happy thoughts for those you are angry with or if religious say a prayer for them. Your thoughts and feelings will relax. This is very effective.

Step 5
Realize that doing anything is a positive step. Your brain is stimulated by anything new, and dealing with an unexpected situation gives you satisfaction. If you do new things ie. learn a game, travel, or just go somewhere you will be happier than people who stick to the familiar regular old activities that they already do. Even cleaning out a closet or garage will help.

Step 6
Don’t expect perfection. Stop the need to impress the people around you. Realize no one is perfect.

Step 7
Schedule your own time. Take at least an one hour each day when you can truly relax and enjoy yourself. Exercise, do a hobby, walk, read, meditate or pray. Pamper yourself. This renews your energy and focus.

Step 9
Try not to be alone. Go out with friends or family. Talk on the phone regularly. Go to a movie, or shopping or do things you always loved but have not had the time to do. Call friends and watch a funny movie together. Try to Be grateful for people around you. Look for small favours and blessings and acknowledge them.

Step 10
Help Others. It has been proven that helping others gives you satasfaction and happiness. Make someone’s else's life more happy by contributing in your own small way. Also Re-assess your priorities. Spend time with your family and pray if you are religious. Stay in the present. You are ok now, don't borrow troubles. Do not waste time regretting your past or worrying about the future.


Try to laugh each and every day. Smile for no reason. Focus on things that keep you happy. Tune out or forget your worries, everybody in this world, has problems. It all depends on the way you look at life. What you focus on is what you get.
