HOW TO BE HAPPY FOREVER

Page 2: How to be happy

One night, I found myself so happy rather than other times of my life. And I tried to find out the reason behind my real Happiness. How am I so happy now? Can I stay happy like this forever? So many questions came to my mind. Ultimately, I discovered the real factors behind my happiness.

What is Happiness? We are conscious about it but Are we really Happy always. Why and Why not? Let us know the reason behind our Unhappiness and some tips to be Happy forever.

There are many proverbs about Happiness. For example “Happiness Lies in Contentment”. So, you are happy if you are satisfied with whatever you have. And there are some reasons to be content in something. Tips are as follows:

EXPECTATION: You might think how expectation brings happiness for you. Yes you are

right, because expectation brings misfortunes for human beings. For example: You are from a middle class family. But your best friend is from a rich family. If you just want to lead your life style as him/her, it will bring misfortunes for you. Just think about your family. Can they afford your expectation?

THINK POSITIVE: Positive thinking is one of the best qualities of human being. Whenever

you are able to think matters from positive point of view, you will find satisfaction there. I don’t mean to be positive always accepting illegal things. Just use your power of thinking to distinguish the differences between good and bad.

PRACTICE SMILING: Smiling can make us feel better, but it’s more effective when we back it up with positive

thoughts, according to this study: A new study led by a Michigan State University business scholar suggests customer-service workers who fake smile throughout the day worsen their mood and withdraw from work, affecting productivity. But workers who smile as a result of cultivating positive thoughts–such as a tropical vacation or a child’s recital–improve their mood and withdraw less.

Of course it’s important to practice “real smiles” where you use your eye sockets. (You’ve seen fake smiles that don’t reach the person’s eyes. Try it. Smile with just your mouth. Then smile naturally; your eyes narrow. There’s a huge difference in a fake smile and a genuine smile.)

According to PsyBlog, smiling can improve our attention and help us perform better on intellectual tasks:

Smiling makes us feel good which also increases our attentional flexibility and our ability to think holistically. When this idea was tested by Johnson et al. (2010), the results showed that participants who smiled performed better on attentional tasks which required seeing the whole forest rather than just the trees.

A SMILE IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO REDUCE SOME OF THE PAIN WE FEEL IN TROUBLING CIRCUMSTANCES:

Smiling is one way to reduce the distress caused by an upsetting situation. Psychologists call this the facial feedback hypothesis. Even forcing a smile when we don’t feel like it is enough to lift our mood slightly (this is one example of embodied cognition).

KEEP YOURSELF BUSY: Most of the people find their work as Barden but they even do not think

about their happy moments. Because, they cannot love their work. In perspective of job or work “Love it or Leave it”. Business helps you to stay away from narrow thinking. Whenever you are idle, you will find yourself bored. So be busy and stay Happy.

TRAVELING: Traveling is also a major factor to make you Happy. Whenever you can

spare your busy time, Plan for a nice trip. I think, it will help you refresh your mind. A study published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life showed that the highest spike in happiness came during the planning stage of a vacation as people enjoy the sense of anticipation: In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks. After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people.
