Getting upset and discouraged is much easier than making a conscious decision to find joy in life. However, only a choice in favor of the latter will allow you many years later to tell yourself with satisfaction that every minute of the past was good, and every day was not lived in vain.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your morning by smiling at your reflection. After looking in the mirror, congratulate yourself on the start of a new day and promise to spend it in an interesting and useful way. Go to bed thinking that tomorrow will be even better.
Step 2
Avoid the company of people who are always dissatisfied with something and always complaining about a hard lot. Psychologists have long established that they live according to a scenario formed by their own pessimistic view of the world. Distance yourself from the harmful influences of such subjects.
Step 3
Learn to notice the beauty and harmony around, be attentive to life. Regardless of your age, do not stop looking for and focusing on what is surprising and admirable.
Step 4
Share a good mood with others: arrange meetings with friends, make pleasant surprises for family and friends, pay attention to your elders, play with children. Try to always and everywhere create an atmosphere of kindness and friendliness.
Step 5
Joke more, however, so that no one is offended. Support your ability to joke with reading Zoshchenko, Ilf and Petrov, Averchenko and other classics and modern comedians. Watch good comedies.
Step 6
Live for today, strive to enjoy every minute, and pondering global problems: when the end of the world will be, how long will there be enough fresh water supplies on Earth, if another default is coming - leave it to others. If your job is to resolve conflicts, be sure to balance this circumstance with sources of joy outside the professional sphere.
Step 7
Try to brighten up the routine and gray everyday life with trips, hiking, exciting hobbies, and attending interesting events.
Step 8
Start practicing yoga. After the first lessons, you will feel how much better the world around you seems, and how peaceful you feel.
Step 9
In difficult times, remind yourself that discouragement is a great sin, and everything that happens is for the best, no matter how bad you feel at first.
