Create your happiness
It is your chose to be happy or
sad.

I am guessing by now if you are over the age of 21 you heard
the hit song ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ by Bobby McFerrin. His message was very
simple. Just be happy things are never as bad as we make them out to be.
Alright maybe there are some times when you can’t help but to
be sad but 90% of the time it comes down to chose.
Living with the attitude that I am a happy go lucky type of
person full of optimism is a sure way to battle stress which is linked to things
such as heart disease, cancer and strokes all of which can kill you.
There is one constant factor that is always the same- You can
be sure that change will always happen. We have the ability to make change
happen. Think about the worse pain you have ever been in eventually the pain
went away into a distance memory (one that I am sure you want to forget about).
But the point is Change will always occur sometimes for the good sometimes for
the bad it’s the nature of life.
Being able to connect with other people is essential to
happiness. People come in all colors, shapes and personalities accept people for
who they are, avoid fights and constant arguments negative relationships are
bad. Let go of your anger and resentment these just corrupt your soul. If an
argument seems to be unstoppable still try and understand their point of view, I
didn’t say agree I just said try and understand it.
Increasing your ability to be happy will make life more wonderful and healthy.
To be happy is relatively easy; just decide to be a happy person. Abraham
Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or
stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The
choice is simple really, choose to be happy.
There are several ways by which you can do this.
Being grateful, often times we
forget just how good we have it. Be thankful you aren’t in a wheel cheer or are
living with a terminal condition. So maybe you only have enough money to pay
your bills and eat. That’s more than many people have.
News for the most part is stressful. Watch less of it. 99% of the news we hear
is bad news. Starting your day off with bad news isn’t the way to go.
Try and make a religious connection, searching your soul can bring you inner
peace and comfort.
Manage your time effectively.
Time always moves forward and it is important not to waste it. Time management
involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating list of things to do.
These are the basics of time management developing the ability to manage your
personal time will help you achieve the results you desire in life.
Don’t be afraid to express your feelings, affections,
friendship and passions with people. They are going to more than likely
reciprocate your actions. Let go of anger, try and express your feelings without
hurting anyone around you.
Working hard brings a good amount of personal satisfaction. It
will give you a sense of feeling like you accomplished something.
Accomplishments are important for all of us; they give us a sense of worth. Do
things that you feel are worthy of your time.
Try and learn something new every day. Learning enables us to expand and broaden
our views and it could give us more opportunities in the future.
Exercise its good for your health and will help you to feel more alive. Avoid
negative environments like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.
These are the few simple things
you can do everyday to be happy.
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to
be."
-Abraham Lincoln
