People want to be happy every day. But few realize that happiness does not come from outside. This inner state can be felt constantly, regardless of life circumstances. This will require some work on your emotions.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't wait until you graduate, start a family, make money, buy a house, do your dissertation, win the lottery, etc. Be happy right now. At first it will be scary, because a happy person can be envied, sometimes condemned, and in difficult times they may not come to the rescue. The prevailing stereotype is that there is compassion for the sick and the unfortunate, but few can rejoice in someone else's happiness. Drop your doubts.
Step 2
To be happy every day means to enjoy everything you have and not worry about what did not work out. How to learn to constantly experience positive emotions? Learn to express them. Psychologists say that emotions are closely related to their external manifestation. Straighten your shoulders and smile, you will soon feel an improvement in your mood. Try to control your emotions constantly - and in any negative situation you will find a positive aspect. Expelled from the institute means you were lucky, they avoided mistakes in choosing a profession. Fired from work - there was a chance to find something to your liking and with a large income. They parted with their soul mate - there will be a new life ahead without quarrels and humiliations.
Step 3
Look for the little joys of life everywhere. Look at children - how little they need to be happy. Imagine yourself as a child running through a field with flowers on a hot summer day. You run without looking back and not knowing what will be ahead. You don't care about your career, income, or family situation. You are simply happy because you are. Catch this sensation and come back to it every time trouble happens in your life.
Step 4
Remember that being happy is the goal. And as for achieving any other goal, you need to see it and know what your happiness consists of. Make a list of activities, events and thoughts that will lead you to your goal. You may have to completely change your lifestyle and give up some uninteresting things. Do not be afraid to start your journey, at first in small steps, but confidently and inexorably go towards the goal.
Step 5
Be grateful. To yourself for what you have achieved. To other people, for what they did or did not do for you. For what you have, and for what does not exist and can still be achieved. For the lessons of life that she teaches you, often under the guise of trials and troubles. Look for reasons to be happy every day.
