Nobody is happy (http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Happy-With-Who-You-Are) all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others
Steps
1- Be optimistic. (http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Optimistic):
No matter what happens, good or bad, the effect on our happiness is only temporary and we tend to rebound to our baseline level. Some people have a higher baseline happiness level than others, and that can be attributed in part to genetics, but it's also largely influenced by how you think
So while the remainder of this article will help boost your happiness, only improving your attitude towards life will increase your happiness permanently
2 - Make enough money to meet your basic needs:
food, shelter, and clothing
Any money you make beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Remember the lottery winners mentioned earlier? Oodles of money didn't make them any happier. Once you make enough money to support your basic needs, your happiness is not significantly affected by how much money you make, but by your level of optimism
Your comfort may increase with your salary, but comfort isn't what makes people happy. It makes people bored
3 - Stay close to friends and family:
Or move to where other members are- so you can see them more
We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. We do this because we think increases in salary will make us happier, but the fact is that our relationships with our friends and family have a far greater impact on our happiness than our jobs do.
4 - Smile (http://www.wikihow.com/Smile):
Science suggests that when you smile, whether you feel happy or not, your mood will be elevated. So smile all the time![ (http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Happy#_note-6)
5 - Forgive (http://www.wikihow.com/Forgive):
a study of college students, it was found that an attitude of forgiveness contributed to better cardiovascular health
Tips
- Just because something seems to make other people happy doesn't mean that it really does. People are very good at pretending they're happy, especially when they've invested so much into the things that are supposed to make them happy
- Try a new food.
- Rearrange your room in a weird way
- Write a funny or inspiring quote on your mirror/wall/locker
Keep in close touch with relatives and a small circle of friends. You can't beat their love and support-
Warning
If you are constantly unhappy or depressed, seek professional help.
