Finding the HAPPY in our day to day life!

I found an article that shared how we can have more happiness. I changed some and added my two cents in.

Increasing Happiness in Daily Life:

1) 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.


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.


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) Allow yourself to take compliments and thank those who do.

14) Smile more often!
