1)Endeavor to change the way you look at things.
Always look at the bright side. The mind may drag you
to think about negativity and difficulties. Don't let
it. Look at the good and positive side of every
situation.
2) Think of solutions, not problems.
3) Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.
4) Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.
5) Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages
of an inspiring book or article.
6) Watch your thoughts. Whenever you catch yourself
thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant
things.
7) Always look at what you have done and not at what
you haven't.
Sometimes you may begin the day with the desire to
accomplish several objectives. At the end of the day
you might feel frustrated and unhappy, because you
haven't been able to do all of those things.
Look at what you have done, not at what you have not
been able to do. You may have accomplished a lot
during the day, and yet you let yourself become
frustrated, because of some small things that you did
not accomplish. You have spent all day successfully
carrying out many plans, and instead of feeling happy
and satisfied, you look at what was not accomplished
and feel unhappy. It is unfair toward yourself.
8) Each day do something good for yourself. It can be
something small, such buying a book, eating something
you love, watching you favorite program on TV, going
to a movie, or just having a stroll on the beach.
9) Each day do at least one act to make others happy.
This can be a kind word, helping your colleagues,
stopping your car at the crossroad to let people
cross, giving your seat in a bus to someone else, or
giving a small present to someone you love. The
possibilities are infinite. When you make someone
happy, you become happy, and then people try to make
you happy.
10) Always expect happiness.
11) Do not envy people who are happy. On the contrary,
be happy for their happiness.
12) Associate with happy people, and try to learn from
them to be happy. Remember, happiness is contagious.
13) Do your best to stay detached, when things do not
proceed as intended and desired. Detachment will help
you stay calm and control your moods and reactions.
Detachment is not indifference. It is the acceptance
of the good and the bad and staying balanced.
Detachment has much to do with inner peace, and inner
peace is conductive to happiness.
14) Smile more often.
