Happiness

                                         Be happy!!!!

           So happiness - isn't that the thing that all of us strive to find and keep? Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others. Studies on what makes people happy reveal that it doesn't have much to do with material goods or high achievement; it seems to whittle down to your outlook on life, and the quality of your relationships with the people around you. 

1. Do what you think is right: 
When you do what you think is right you feel great about yourself because you have done what you heart tells you to do and no some one else's idea.
2. Be positive: 
When you become positive you are attracting everything you want into your life. If you need help being positive. Use subliminal messages that will help you become the person you want to be.
No matter what happens, good or bad, the effect on our happiness is only temporary and we tend to rebound to our baseline level. Some people have a higher baseline happiness level than others, and that can be attributed in part to genetics, but it's also largely influenced by how you think.
4. Make enough money to meet your basic needs: food, shelter, and clothing. In the US, that magic number is $40,000 a year but that's does not necessary apply to all of us.
Stay close to friends and family: 
Real friends and family member are the ones the makes our life some times miserable but also are the ones the one that gives the greatest happiness also.

  • Just because something seems to make other people happy doesn't mean that it really does. People are very good at pretending they're happy, especially when they've invested so much into the things that are supposed to make them happy; it's hard to admit that you've been placing all your eggs in the wrong basket.
  • When you're purposely trying to be happy or cheerful, but just can't seem to achieve it at the moment, do something crazy. It's stupid, crazy, weird stuff like that that seems pointless, but could actually lift your mood after you do it, just because you're glad you did it. Most fundamentally, recognize that happiness is a state of mind and not something which can be defined objectively. You can change your state of mind in many ways including these suggestions:
    • Turn your favorite music up loud and do a stupid dance to it. Talk to yourself in the mirror.
    • Try a new food.
    • Rearrange your room in a weird way.
    • Write a funny or inspiring quote on your mirror/wall/locker.
    • Scream as loud as you can (warn your family first!) and bounce up and down; jump all around.
    • Get your swimsuit on, go outside and turn the hose on yourself, if it's a hot day.
  • If you have a child, either now or in the future, tell them often how much you love and admire him/her and do anything to help him/her.
  • Keep in close touch with relatives and a small circle of friends. You can't beat their love and support.
  • Don't be afraid to admit when you're down and need a lift. Conversely, if there's a person in your life who is a negative influence and who is dragging you down in some way, don't be afraid to remove such a person from your life.
