Being happy is a choice we make every day. We wake up every morning and decide “I am going to be happy today.”
At least this is what experts on happiness say. However, the fact is, some people manage to control their mood and have inner contentment, while others cannot manage to put a smile on their faces most of the time.
It seems that being happy or unhappy depends on many factors, some of them essential. Some key examples were mentioned in a wide scale search, such as states of relationships, career-related, health-linked, etc.
Inna Segal, creator of Visionary Intuitive Healing and the best selling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, presents seven keys which can be used by anyone to enhance their life, and experience more joy and happiness.
Value Yourself
Treat yourself well, just as you treat the most important person in your life! Appreciate, and be kind and loving to yourself. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself.
Be Committed to Happiness
Commit to happiness. Recognize that happiness is your right, and choose to be happy every day. Make a list of what makes you happy and make it a priority to fulfill your list every chance you get.
Be Open-Minded
Being open minded means being flexible. Being flexible can lead to unique experiences which can change your perspective on people and encourage you to embrace life.
Look After Your Health
It is much easier to feel happy when you have great health and vitality versus feeling ill. Respect your body and take a time out if you feel tired. Follow a healthy diet and exercise whenever you can.
Keep Your Sense of Humor
Practice laughing whenever you can, especially when a situation gets tough. Work on developing a sense of humor and seek originality in life.
Believe in the Power of Laughter
Someone who laughs a lot simply keeps the channels to joy open! And it is contagious!
Appreciate the Lucky Charm of Happiness
Happy people attract attention; it’s like having a lucky charm! Happiness can help us combat fear, handle obstacles, accomplish our goals, and enjoy great relationships!
