How to be Happy in Life



I choose this picture because they look happy together, and remind of my chilhood memory that is full of happiness. :)


Happines is a choice. Unhappy people struggle with judging themselves for not being able to easily shift to a happy state of mind.


Smile a lot - There are enough smiling muscles involved for your brain to think you are smiling and start producing "happy" chemicals.

Sing! - Singing works just like smiling, causing your body to produce "feeling good" chemicals. Sing in the car, sing in the shower , sing when you feel frustrated and notice how the negative feelings melt away.


Hang around positive people - Having happy people around you will make it easy to learn happiness. Happy people have fun around them.


Get a move on - Being physically active makes you happy. Find some activity you like to do and notice how it changes your mood: including any kind of sport, dance and yoga. Make a habit of being active in any way you feel like.


Get creative - Creativity is a great way to find happiness. Paint,draw,dance,sculpt, cook, write poetry or tend the garden. Tap into your creative abilities and find your "happy spot'.


Act like a child - Do childish things to feel young and fresh.Remember,"We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing".

Be Kind - Do random acts of kindness every day. It can be as simple as saying something nice,offering help,or giving up your place in a queue.

Be grateful - Practice gratitude: say thank you for everything you have and appreciate in your life.
