Are You Happy?

In a very sad, cruel world it can be easy to become jaded and unhappy. However, there are some people that, despite everything going on around them, can make the best out of situations and be seemingly happy. We often stare at them in disbelief and wonder, "How the heck can they be so happy all of the time?!"

Well, lucky for you, I've found some tricks of the trade. Before you know it, you too can be running around smiling non-stop until your cheeks hurt. So, what are some common practices of the happiest people?

One of the healthiest things that you can do, is to steer clear of all of the gossip in this world. Stay clear of the chatty rag magazines. Turn off the news. The happiest people in the world did not get to where they are today by talking about others. They live their lives, worry about their own issues and go about their day.

As we all know, things happen. In life, there will always be things that you can drone on that will bring you down. Thing is, the majority of the time, those are things that are beyond your control. Instead of being upset about what has happened, worry about what you can change and act on that. What is within your control to make your day better? How can you turn this situation around into a positive scenerio? No one's looking for you to walk around with a never-ending smile quoting the most positives memes on the internet, but if you want to live your life as a happy person, you need to make a conscious effort to see the brighter side of things and not drone on the negative.

Above all, the happiest people think and act for themselves. They do not spend unnecessary minutes and hours worrying about what others will think. They make the best decisions for themselves and then move on. They do not let anxiety or worry weigh on them. Of course, that does not mean that you are selfish and think only of yourself. It's quite the opposite, actually. Once you become the best and happiest you, you will radiate this positive energy to others. Soon, you will see that you are surrounded by the happiest crowd of people.

I hope these tips will help you to become happier within your life, let go of the unnecessary stressors and help you to be the best you that you can be. Please let me know what you are doing to become a happier YOU!
