How to Feel Happy Again – 5 Tips For Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind, and luckily for all of us, it is something we can choose to have. Sure there will be things that occur that may not make us happy, but overall the state of happiness is something we can choose to live in. Do you want to be happy/ Choose to be. And you can get there with these 5 simple tips.

Laugh more

This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to get us to a point of happiness, laughing. Laughing is very therapeutic and something we all know how to do. No special tolls need to be learned, we just need to laugh. This can be done simply by watching a funny tv show or movie, or having lunch with that friend that can always make you laugh, or search on youtube for the funniest videos (I find a lot of clips from the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway" to be perfect for making me laugh). The key is to find things you find funny and watch or read them. Just do it anytime you are feeling down or unhappy and see how quickly you are brought back to a state of happiness.

Play more

This is another sure fire way of bringing you back to a state of being happy. Get out and play, have fun, move around. Get that blood flowing doing whatever is play for you. It could be playing catch with your kids, taking the dog for a walk, playing your favorite sport, doing cartwheels in the grass, etc. It really doesn't matter what you choose to play at, just play, get your body moving doing something that is enjoyable and fun. The more you play the happier you will be.

Love more

Often the cause for not feeling happy is because we do not feel enough love in our lives, we might feel isolated or alone. This is not uncommon and there is a way to bring more love into your life. The key is not to try to bring in love, but to give out more love. Find a way to give to others without any expectations of anything in return. Volunteer at a homeless shelter, become a big brother or big sister, volunteer to take dogs for walks at a shelter, etc. Give to others unconditionally and your heart will start to open. The more your heart is open the more you will be ready to receive love.

Don't be so Serious

Another thing that can lead to a lack of happiness is taking things and ourselves too seriously. We get caught up in perfection and a desire to always do everything right. We never want to look bad in the eyes of others so instead of taking some risks we play it safe and then feel down because we have not achieved all we know we are capable of achieving. So stop being so serious, stop worrying so much about what other may or may not think about you. Instead work on enjoying your life, taking risks and doing things that may make others uncomfortable. Do what you will enjoy.

Be Grateful

The final tip to bringing more happiness in your life is to start focusing on the positive things in your life. Start a gratitude journal, a simple book that you write down everything you are grateful for at the end of the day. These do not have to be groundbreaking things to be grateful for, you could be grateful for a delicious sandwich at lunch, or for that person who held the door for you, or for that penny you found on the ground, etc. They can be simple things; the key is to write down as many things as you can at the end of every day that you are grateful for. Then when you wake up each morning re-read what you write the night before to start your day out with the right positive mindset.

You can choose to have more happiness in your life if you just follow these simple 5 steps. Do these every day and you will be amazed how much happier you will be on a regular basis. Just be ready to hear from those around you how much happier you seem and know it is all because you took action and chose to be that way.
