9 easy steps to follow:
As Gandhi says, "Be the Change you want to see."
Make these Happy Steps a part of You.
1. Live the Day.
Your life is not an accumulation of the days before today. Your life is today. Live the day - Every second is a chance to make the day a good or a bad one, a happy one or an unhappy one.
2. Focus on solutions.
It is so easy and somehow comforting for humans to keep thinking about the problems we have and unconsciously play our problems on repeat mode, listening to these melancholic melodies over and over. Succumbing to these sad songs makes one helpless and sad. Instead, face the problem and take it head on! Focus on making things work, learn from the experience. Life is never without problems. But the good news is that in the scheme of bigger things, no problem is permanent! Be happy you have a chance and free will of mind to interact with the problem and possibly make things work.
3. Make a choice about the past.
Many times, we have many regrets and unhappy memories of the past. Be they the past of injustice, hatred or sadness. The past is already over, but how you allow it to affect you today and tomorrow is a choice. Choose to learn from the past and apply it for your happiness today.
4. Have Faith.
Understand that the universe, the stars, the sea, the sky and God exists, no matter what religion you believe in. Do the very best you can, and leave the rest to the Universe. Paulo Coelho's saying of "When you want something, the Universe conspires to help you achieve it", does exist for a reason. With this deep understanding, you can find true peace and happiness within yourself.
5. Adjust yourself positively.
A positive attitude is not just something you are born with. It requires a conscious effort, daily nurturing,self counseling and determination to believe in yourself even in times of difficulty. And when you have mastered it, this innate quality will give you extra strength and bring you success to most that you do.
Then, you will access the true riches of the world, Happiness.
6. Give sincere thanks for a chance of existence in the world.
In the context of time's infinity, our existence is a mere breath. Appreciate your eyes that bring you beautiful colours, skin that provides you loving sense of affection and smell that lets you appreciate the fresh air. Compared to many, we are fortunate and blessed indeed. Be happy that you have a chance to live comfortably.
7. Maintain good, honest and earnest communication especially with your loved ones.
Good, open and earnest communication is vital to happy relationships. Often, communications that are unclear, hidden in fear, or suppressed feelings that are not expressed directly take huge tolls on relationships. This can cause dissentment, tire and unhappiness to evolve into a ticking time bomb over time. Open expressions and direct discussions about important problems and feelings are extremely important to maintain healthy and happy relationships. Be clear, be happy!
8. Take a chill pill and a detox pill.
And indeed, we are still ultimately humans and not saints. Of course from time to time, it seems like we are so surrounded by negativity that it gets so stifling, and everything feels so bottled up. When this happens, take a chill pill and breath in and out, and remember points 1 - 7, especially that you have free will, and that the day is yours for you to live - happy or sad.
Then, take a detox pill and allow yourself to purge all your bad energy away. Breathe in, and breathe OUT deeply and purge all those bad things away. Open your window for fresh air, go for a walk. and remember, PURGE AWAY all the bad energy of others. Find back your true good self, remember your clear goals and mission in life, and think of points 1 - 7 again.
Remember the happy and peaceful self you are, practice the smile you are so familiar with and be happy!
9. Learn to build a wall of Happiness around yourself.
Imagine a stream of blue halo around yourself that protects you from others. This halo not only keeps your good energy happy, but is also strong and protects you from the negative energy of others. Activate this Happy wall whenever you feel you need it! :D
And there, a happy and refreshed you in 9 easy steps! :)
