Happiness is the inner state of a person. And everyone seems to understand this, but rarely experience it. Happiness cannot happen due to external stimuli. It is regardless of the weather, exchange rates and the presence of a loved one nearby. You cannot make a person happy if he himself does not want it. You can feel the euphoria of blowing bubbles and wander sadly through the premium car dealership, not knowing what to choose. You can get bored in Monaco and happily meet the sunrise in a tent city.
Each person has their own reason for being happy. If he's ready for it. If he expects something amazing from today, if he can find a reason for being positive in ordinary things. Follow the example of children. Falling asleep, they do not think about tomorrow. For them, every day they live is like a small life. They don't feel the passage of time. Adults are ruined by vanity, haste, improper planning of the day. Is it possible to be happy in traffic, being late for an important meeting? Can! You can't get to the meeting, but you can put on a disc with your favorite music. Or even park and go for a walk in the park. How many of us would do the same? Units. All others are bound by their own attitudes and restrictions. Happy are those who do not notice their age. Who said that getting higher education after forty is too late? But at the same time, one must evaluate oneself objectively.
We look at the world through the prism of our inner perception. If we see children as a burden, it will be so. And if there is joy, the return from such love will be obligatory. And so in all things. Don't look for a reason to complain about life. Yes, it is different. But real grief rarely happens in her. And everything else is momentary troubles that you don't need to dwell on.
Remove any negativity. Use the 21 days principle. It is for this period that all annoying factors are removed in order to start the update cycle. Skip the TV for three weeks and you will notice that you have fewer reasons to worry. Remove people who involve you in gossip, discussion of negativity, make a "vest" out of you. Even if these people are your inner circle.
Schedule 5 pleasures of the day each morning. For example: I eat ice cream, watch a movie, read a book, buy new embroidery, take a long walk with the dog. It can be anything that makes your daily life fulfilling. But these things should not overlap with work and household affairs. It doesn't have to be washing windows and signing a long-awaited contract. Separate work, home, and personal time. This is the only way to avoid the routine.
