How
to be happy - what I say...Here are some questions about happiness I've
had in my life, and I'm sure you have too: - What is happiness?
- Can
money buy happiness?
- And, a little more obscurely, what is the
art of happiness?
Interestingly, I now believe that knowing how
to be happy has nothing to do with knowing what the answers to these questions
are. To me, there are no happiness tests. Authentic
happiness just is. You can see it in a happy person's smile. You can
hear it in their voice. You can sense how their happiness touches every aspect
of their life. Bad things happen to this person. Good things happen, too.
And, throughout, they are happy. So, how to be happy? Well, as Kathleen
Chester says, happiness is an attitude - so adopt the attitude. So my
secret to happiness boils down to 2 simple steps: - Recognise that
you are not happy, in the first place. So don't settle, for example, simply because
everyone else is settling! Choose to live your life with your own ingredients
- ones that make sense to you!
- Then choose to be happy, instead.
And you'll find lots of 'how to be happy' advice below as to how to do just that.
So
am I happy, then? Well, I'm getting there. I'm getting to the place where I choose
to be happy; a place where I believe I deserve happiness. And, thankfully,
there's room inside this 'happy place' for all of us... :-)
How
to be happy - what Gale from HappyHalfway.com has to sayEveryone wants
to know how to be happy, right? So how come happiness is so elusive to so many
people? It really all boils down to one thing. Yes, really, just one thing: You
have to consciously decide to make being happy your number one priority. In
every moment in your life you have the choice to make it a happy one or not. Most
people spend more time picking out an outfit or making dinner than they do on
their own happiness. When you get your priorities right your whole life
will change and you will automatically make different choices. You will:
- Choose
to be with happy positive people instead of those who bring you down
- Choose
uplifting TV shows instead of CNN disasters or mind numbing reality programs
- Choose
appreciation instead of complaining
- Choose letting go instead of always
having to be right or in control
- Choose fun and adventure instead of the
same old routine
- Choose your happiness over EVERYTHING
You
have the opportunity to be happy in every moment - make the decision to be happy
right now and watch what happens! To learn more about how to be happy and

Top 6 Secrets
of How to be HappyHow to be happy - Kathleen Chester has to say...
Happiness
is an attitude. It is the glow that brings cheer to your face. Unfortunately,
it is not store bought. Happiness actually begins from the inside and encompasses
everything you do.
Being happy has many fringe benefits, apart from
the obvious. If you are happy, you have greater chances of attracting more happiness,
achieving your goals and becoming more successful.
So, what makes
people happy? That is a question worth considering. You see, different people
feel happiness
in different circumstances. Some people need small things to feel happy while
others may feel like they need a million dollars in their savings account before
they can begin to find a reason to smile.
Having said that, there
are certain tried and tested secrets that can light the magic of happiness in
your heart.
1. Cheer someone else: Nothing can bring you more
happiness than extending a helping hand. When compassion enters the mind, selfish
interests fly out. Treat others with respect and in a generous manner. When you
give something to a person who needs it, your own sense of happiness increases
ten fold. Don't ask me why. Just try it.
2. Feel grateful:
This is one of the best ways to be happy. Most of us are in the habit of looking
up – we look at people who are richer than us, more attractive, more successful
and so on. For a change, try looking down – at those who are less fortunate. This
may seem sadistic, but when you look at those who are less fortunate, you suddenly
realize how lucky you are. A good dose of healthy gratitude at the beginning of
every day can leave you feeling happy throughout the day.
3. Live
the moment: Most of us are so frustrated about the changes we did not make
in the past and so anxious about what the future will bring that we forget about
the present. Focus on what is happening to you right now – your dinner, this article
or a conversation you are having.
4. Listen to music: We all
live stress-filled lives packed with too many activities, all vying to take center
stage. Is it any wonder that we are coiled tight like springs? A little bit of
the right kind of music is all you need to de-stress and feel lighthearted once
again. According to many scientific studies, music affects a part of the brain
that can lower heart rates, induce feelings of peace and produce happiness.
5.
Take some well needed rest: We are slowly becoming a planet of sleep deprived
people. Lack of rest can make you itchy and cranky. Make it a point to get a good
night's rest. It can do wonders to your happiness quotient.
6.
Live in good health: Say goodbye to fat-soaked, carbohydrate-rich food. Start
eating healthy. Do some exercise. Meditate. Take care of your body and mind. When
you take care of yourself, you will be suffused with a sense of well being and
happiness.
These are just some of the ways in which you can invite
happiness into your life. There may be many factors in your life that is beyond
your control. Even so, there are still a lot of things that you can change. In
the end, it is your attitude that matters. It is in your hands to decide whether
you want to be happy or not ----------------------------------------------------
