We all want to be happy and constantly strive for the best. It seems to many that happiness simply goes into their own hands, and they live a full life and rejoice, and some spend their whole life in pursuit of their happiness. What do Buddhists advise in order to achieve harmony with yourself and become happy?
Instructions
Step 1
Do not expect that happiness will come to you by itself, start acting as soon as you understand that you lack happiness in life. Start with yourself, no matter how hackneyed it sounds. Listen to your desires and find what really matters to you.
Step 2
Learn to express gratitude. At least mentally before going to bed, try to say thank you for your day and find what you are grateful for today. Empty it will be clear weather, a flower that has blossomed under the window, a letter or SMS, anything you like, any little thing that pleases you. And thank people for helping you. So you convey your positive attitude and give a piece of joy to another person, and it will come back to you.
Step 3
Find positive moments, pleasant memories and learn to create them yourself. Enjoy every day. Try to remember a pleasant moment from your childhood. Try to create a pleasant moment for yourself, let it be a cup of your favorite tea or reading a book or going to the theater, anything that will give you positive emotions. Plan a little pleasant moment for your loved one and be sure to make it happen. For example, print a photo and send it in a letter to your grandmother, or write a letter to a friend you haven't seen for a long time.
Step 4
Let go of unnecessary and evil people from your life. Each person enters our life to teach us something. Learn as soon as possible a lesson from an unpleasant person, let your communication remain an experience for you, and let it go from your life.
Step 5
Do not miss the opportunities that life sends you, so as not to regret them later in the future. Try to believe in yourself and your strength, so that it doesn't happen. If they try to convince you of this and do not support you. Listen to your heart. This is your life and only your decisions and actions can lead it to happiness.
Step 6
Let go of emotions such as sadness, grief, and tears. If people around you bring you to negative emotions, it means that they are weak and do not know other ways to influence you, they are not worth your tears. Appreciate yourself and your peace of mind.
Step 7
Nature is our mother, she heals our soul and body. Try to be in nature as often as possible. Give back the negative and draw positive energy from nature. Walk and contemplate more. Even if you live in a city, take at least a couple of minutes to look at the sky or birds, the tree outside the window.
Step 8
Learn to accept the situation that has already happened. Often our illnesses originate from the fact that we cannot come to terms with something and accept it. Accept what has already happened and move on.
Step 9
Do not be afraid to stumble and make a mistake, be afraid not to act. As long as we are alive, we must move, and movement involves a difficult path in which anyone can make a mistake. Take it within yourself and don't be afraid.
Step 10
Don't criticize or judge others. Don't judge people. Everyone is doing what he can do at the moment. People change and learn. You should not criticize them for their wrong actions or deeds, and then there will be no criticism in your address.
