How to Consciously Make Yourself Happy
Happiness is a sense or feeling of pleasure, contentment, joy and enthusiasm about an event.
Happiness is in most cases introduced by an event and when our present event calls for the opposite, we can make conscious efforts to switch the sadness to happiness.
A well-known hit single by Bobby McFerrin says ‘Don’t Worry, Be happy’.
This song over the years have been an appreciated way of conveying a message that everybody must or should be happy no matter the problem or changes they may be having in their lives.
For anyone to live his desired, fulfilled and optimistic life, he or she must feel wonderful about his/her self, as it also boosts your immunity against diseases and stress.
Stress is responsible for most, if not all the sicknesses in humanity such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.
A popular Quote says ‘The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’. One truth about us humans is that we cannot change others but we can change ourselves.
Even if we find ourselves in an unendurable circumstance we can be rest assured that it will never be permanent.
Relationships and social networking are vital tools to happiness.
We must learn to accept others for whom and what they are, avoid argument, resentment and clashes that can lead to violence.
If argument seems to be inevitable then we must try to understand the other person and let go. Socializing with loved ones and friends can be wonderful and can also help in stabilizing one’s health.
A former American President, Abraham Lincoln once said most times people can choose to be happy or stressed, to berelaxed or troubled, and to be bright or dull.
These choices are ours to make.
Have you ever try to make your self happy when sad?
