Happiness is not far away

Happiness comes from the little things in life. Simple ways in our daily life often help the most. It is not a dream for you to make it come true but a shining star that guides you and a mirror that shows you the meaning of life in the world. If you feel that happiness does not come to you, here are the following steps which will lead you there.

To yourself

Start by treating yourself kindly and becoming your own best friend.

Give up trying so hard to become someone else who is not yourself right now. It’s better to just be you.

To your life

Walk in the park or along the street with a pet. Balance your life with activities and a good rest.

Play and do those activities which gently nurture (滋养) your own mind. Playing in your garden or filling your home with beautiful flowers is not a bad try and the memory of those flowers will be always carried with you.

Smile as you think about the future. If you smile, you can not have negative (消极的) thoughts!

Concentrate on the positive (积极的) in this world and look for joy.

To your work

Work hard and make efforts to reach your goals, and reward yourself when you are done.

Remove the task that is not useful. We are learning that doing too many tasks at the same time just doesn’t work.

Try writing down what is troubling you, discussing your trouble with yourself. The science now shows that as you write your troubles, your brain will change for the better.

By writing a daily thanks dairy, you will feel the positive memory and experiences once more, and by remembering these moments, your levels of happiness will rise.

To your friends

You can write a “happy letter” to your family and friends every day. Just a short note will do. You can do the following:

Monday: Write a thank-you note to your friend.

Tuesday: Write a short letter to your friend about a good moment you have recently experienced.

Wednesday: Write about a nice moment you plan to experience in the future.

Thursday: Write a letter to someone that is important in your life.

Friday: Write three things that went really well today.

Saturday and Sunday: Go on with your daily thanks diary.

If you pay attention to all that is good in your life instead of negative thoughts, happiness will become a natural part of your day!
