Live a Happy Life




It is a fact that we all desire to live a happy life, a life devoid of worry, stress and pain. While individuals may have measurements or definitions to what true success or happiness is, there are some basic qualities of a happy life that seem to be one-fit-all. No matter where you begin your life, your conscious effort to live through your adult years will have a greater effect on your overall lifelong happiness more than your financial situation or even happiness at an earlier age. Learning how to live better and feel more positive about the things that matter to you can help you live a happy and meaningful life.


How do we find more happiness in our life? Like anything else, it takes practice to cultivate ongoing happiness. In a sense, we must reset our priorities. It won't happen overnight, but here are the few things you can do every day to discover the secrets of being happier.


1. Focus on the Positives: there is no such thing as a perfect life. The conscious effort to sieve through life events and separate the positive from the negative is a great step towards living a happy life.


2. Be You: Whatever you do, remember to be natural and create a smooth relationship with yourself. Be yourself, which is all that matters. 


3. Be optimistic: Be confident, cheerful, positive about the future.




4. Celebrate little victories: Celebrating little victories gives you the motivation to keep going. When you give attention to – and celebrate the little victories, though, you’re essentially reminding yourself that “I am successful… I’m on the right path…” That lifts your spirits and gives you the boost you need to keep going.


5. Find your work-life balance: You feel energized, happy and fulfilled when your work and life are in balance. Adjust your schedule and be more flexible to achieve this goal.


6. Accept your imperfections: You must believe in the possibilities. You must believe that tomorrow can be better than today. Accept your imperfections. There isn’t a skill you can’t learn; there isn’t a discipline you can’t try; there isn’t a class you can’t take; there isn’t a book you couldn’t read.


7. Listen to and engage with music: This might seem obvious, but the natural chemical reasoning is pretty to think about it. If you are ever in need of an emotional boost, let it be known that it takes 15 minutes of listening to your favourite tunes to get a natural high. This is because the brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that leads to increased feelings of happiness, excitement and joy when you listen to music you like.


8. Build meaningful relationships: Happiness, of course, isn’t a total enterprise. Your relationship can have a large impact on your sense of well-being, and your actions and mood can influence the people with whom you come in contact. There is also evidence that when you become happier, it helps those around you increase their own happiness.



9. Hang out with happy people: One of the best ways to find happiness is to find those who know how to nurture and create their own happiness and share it freely. Spend time around these people and you’ll find yourself seeing the world differently. 


10. Your Conscious effort: You have to let go of the things that make you sad. Sometimes you even have to let go of people. So that might take effort. Being less angry, sad, upset, jealous, etc takes effort.
