Almost everyone has 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
Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people
happy by
telling them not to worry.
Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is
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
"This, too, shall pass".
Social networks or relationships are essential to
happiness. Developing People skills and leadership skills
can help you capitalize on your current and future
relationships. People are different, accept people for who
or
what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let
go of all kinds of resentments. This can require alot of
self-development, more with some folks than others.
If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort
to understand the
situation and you might just get along with people you've
had friction with in the past.
Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is
the challenge to really enjoying it. Life is about
expansion, and expanding your ability to be happy only
serves to let you experience MORE happiness. Now doesn't
that make you happy?.
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 the most important attitude change you
can make. Your very future depends on it. The more you are
grateful for, the more "things to be grateful for" will
come into your experience. 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 mail, thank the policeman for making
your place safe and thank God for being alive. Be
grateful for your friends and family while you have them.
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 just puts you in a
frame of mind to be more receptive to negative influences.
A spiritual connection is also recommended. Being part of
a spiritual 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 say -
'Laughter is the best medicine'. It is also the cure for
many stress-related problems, such as depression. A healthy
dose of laughter for a depressed person can be just what
they need to help lift them up out of the doldrums.
Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion
to people around you. Never let an opportunity to show
love and affection pass you by (within reason)Many
Divorces could be avoided by utilizing this little tip.
Try not to keep pent up anger or frustrations, this is bad
for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them that will not cause more
injury or hurt to anyone. This is another benefit of
Laughter. Sometimes, when you're feeling angry or
frustrated about something, find a little humore in it, and
have yourself a big ole belly laugh, you'll find you're not
quite so angry anymore.
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 are 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."
