Want to be Happier?....Try this
People are generally engrossed in fault finding all the time. They want to be happy about most of the things, however they miss the trick to do so. This is well said by some one that Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success, but it's almost impossible to make others happy if you're not happy yourself.
With that in mind, here are few small changes that you can make to your daily routine that, if you're like most people, will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:
1. Set one expectation at the start of each day.
If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to (or down to) your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "something wonderful is going to happen today." Guess what? You're probably right.
2. Plan and Prioritize.
The most common source of stress is the perception that you've got too much work to do. Rather than getting depressed about it, pick one thing that if accomplished today, will take you closer to your purpose in life. Then do that first.
3. Give a give to everyone you meet.
It's not about a formal, wrapped-up present. Your gift can be your smile, a word of thanks or encouragement, a gesture of politeness, even a friendly nod. And never pass beggars without leaving them something. Peace of mind is worth the spare change. Believe me it's quite satisfactory.
4. Try to deflect partisan conversations.
Arguments about politics and religion never have a "right" answer but they definitely get people all riled up over things they can't control. When such topics surface, bow out by saying something like: "Thinking about that stuff makes my head hurt."
5. Assume people have good intentions.
Since you can't read minds, you don't really know the "why" behind the "what" that people do. Imputing evil motives to other people's weird behaviors adds extra misery to life, while assuming good intentions leaves you open to reconciliation.
6. Eat high quality food slowly and relish it.
Sometimes we can't avoid scarfing something quick to keep us up and running. Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Focus on it; taste it; savor it.
7. Don't worry about your results.
People who have never failed are the one's who never tried anything new. The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do. Focus on the job at hand rather than some weird fantasy of what might happen.
8. End each day with gratitude.
Just before you go to bed, try to write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
