15 ways to Happiness

During my vacation I spend my time cleaning all the stuffs in the house, played with my children, and read some books and magazines. This time I want to share you some articles I have read and hope it can help us to cope at our day to day life. Psychologists admit that there are no rules of thumb on how to be happy. But they believe that for a person to be truly happy, he must go through the following phases: Accept the pains. If you’re angry with what happened to you, allow yourself to go through the pains. Choose not to stay in pain. Do something and feel powerful enough to handle the pains, like being with people who nurture you. Forgive yourself, other people. After forgiving, you would see yourself for who you actually are and not how other people want you to be. Take responsibility to your life. Stop other people allowing other people, circumstances, or pains in the past to rule your life. Learn to let go and trust yourself. Free yourself of expectations from yourself or other people. Learn to receive blessings. You need to have little eyes and hearts to realize that all the things that make you happy have been there all along. Other ways. There are other ways you can do as you go through the process: Have somebody to turn to. Seek the people who will nurture you or a partner who will serve as a well-spring of inspiration. Be hopeful. The more hopeful you are, the more you can recognize how bad your situation is, and let yourself beat it. Keep the faith alive. Having faith in God will give you hope. He himself gives you reasons to be happy. Share yourself. When you help others, they will affirm you by saying “You’re good”. This strengthens your positive attitude toward difficulties in life. Be grateful. When you become thankful for what you have, you’ll also realize there are things you can do to improve your life. It’s all in the mind. One is unhappy because he thinks he is. When you think negatively, you attract negative thoughts and then, unconsciously, you make them happen. Take the risks involved. It is easier to let go when you face the risks involved. Money isn’t everything. As people accumulate more money, the amount of happiness they can “buy” gets smaller. Discover the best friend in you. It’s about time you don’t look for happiness outside you.
