“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi.
Well happiness is what we, human beings, are constantly seeking, like a quest: The Quest For Happiness! Surviving on planet Earth is not a very easy thing to do. And in our every-day-life we have to face ups and downs, well it's a nature we can't resist. No matter how hard the situation can be, it is very important to keep yourself happy.
The prime thing to keep in mind is to love yourself. Remember that it never means you are selfish. In fact, whenever you feel down and blue, keep this thought in the back of your head and it will boost up your confidence and will help you think positively. If you love yourself, you will be able to believe in yourself!
Next, make yourself your best friend. This idea doesn't mean you don't need help from your friends. In hard times even if you have friends to talk to, sometimes you have to go through it alone. Keep in mind that you will always know what is best for yourself more than anyone else does.
Then it gets times when you have to think about the problems you are facing. Spend some time alone: When you do this, you will ask yourself some questions which will help to solve your problem. What is the problem? How can you solve the problem? What the worst that can happen? How you can handle the situation. Ask these to yourself at that time. You will certainly get the confidence to solve your problem on your own.
According to some psychologists, keeping a journal is like a therapy. Paper diary, blogs, vlogs, whatever means of expression you'll use will do the trick. First, important fact, you can speak about what you can't discuss with anyone! Secondly, it allows you to write about emotions you hold inside. For example you won't keep your anger inside which can explode some other day if you're stuck with this feeling inside. Thirdly, papers never reveal secrets! You can get a real true friend by writing a journal, who will never speak about your secrets to other. Thus you can be happy mentally which is very important.
Finally, do good: No matter how hard the situation is, you can always be happy from heart. It is the good deed which can keep your heart happy. It doesn't matter whether it is just helping an old lady to cross the road or donating an Euro! Do at least one good deed a day!
Well I haven't found the perfect recipe to keep yourself happy, but I did my share of doing good today by giving you those tips ^_^
And that makes me happy :)
