Are You Happy As You Want To Be?

Are you, (really?)?

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'
by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying
its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby McFerrin's simple
message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and
is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you
from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of
death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life
that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we
have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even
if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always
find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness.
People are different, accept people for who or what they are,
avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of
resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make
an effort to understand the situation and you might just get
along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a
way to make a life more wonderful and also more 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 is a great attitude. We have so much to be
thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home
safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the
guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for
bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your
place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start
their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about
it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the
day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. Being part of a
religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers
and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste.
Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves
scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to
do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management
that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time
management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further
to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that
extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your
friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the
best medicine'.

Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to
people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions.
Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for
your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that
will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.

Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives
a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments
are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work
on things that you feel worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new
everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our
horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the
future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was
made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises,
toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to
be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says
that, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their
minds to be."

To Your Success,
