Simple Tips To Be Happy Right now!

Reality is that we do not live in a world where we are happy every single breathing day of our lives... However; at times we let things/obstacles take over our happiness (health, family, friends, kids, money well in a nut shell it can be anything), we are very easy to let anything or anyone be the reason to our unhappiness. well I may not have the solutions to every problem but I do have 20 simple tips to be happy right now... out of the 20 I will post 12 today and 8 tomorrow... hope this can help you, them, me in any way. Stay tune tomorrow for the next 8.

Tip 1

Make happiness a priority. If happiness is not at the
top of your list then other things will take precedence.
If other things take precedence, they may well interfere
with your efforts to feel good.

Tip 2

Make plans to be happy. Those who fail to plan, plan
to fail. Just like in any other life domain, the successful
pursuit of happiness requires planning.

Tip 3

Set happy goals. Following on from Tip 2, planning
requires effective goal setting. And don’t forget to
make sure your goals are SMART (specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant and timed).

Tip 4

Do things that make you happy. Although this
sounds obvious, many people simple forget to do
things from which they gain pleasure. And do them as
often as possible.

Tip 5

Set yourself tasks from which you’ll gain
satisfaction. As well as pleasure and enjoyment,
satisfaction is also an important part of happiness. So
make sure that when you’re planning your tasks and
activities you include things that might not be fun, but
from which you’ll gain a sense of achievement.

Tip 6

Play and have fun. Don’t take life too seriously.
Although we all have responsibilities there’s no reason
why we can’t approach much of our lives in a playful
manner. In fact, those who do so will undoubtedly be
happier.

Tip 7

Identify where your strengths lie. Know where your
faults and weaknesses are to avoid problems. Know
where your strengths lie to be really happy and to
succeed in life.

Tip 8

Utilise your strengths. Although we all can and
should endeavour to improve in areas in which we’re
weak there’s just as much, if not more, to be gained
from focusing on the maximal utilisation of your
strengths (including all your positive qualities and
attributes).

Tip 9

Be curious. Constantly search for new ways to be
happy. Keep a look out for new ways to approach life
and to have fun.

Tip 10

Be grateful and appreciate what you have. We all
have many choices in life one of which is whether to
focus on all the things we don’t have (of which there
might be many), or to focus on all the things we do
have. There’s no doubt, that gratitude and
appreciation will significantly increase your chances of
experiencing happiness.

Tip 11

Learn to like and ideally to love yourself. We must
love before we can be loved. To love others and to be
loved by others is a key component of happiness.

Tip 12

Invest time and energy in to your key
relationships. Happy people spend more time
working on and in their relationships. Happy people
tend to be more supportive of other people in their life.
Happy people are more generous and altruistic.


If we can all apply a few of these tips everyday into our lives we will be much happier, successful, stress free individuals.


Too be continued for our next 8 Tips tomorrow
