11 Simple Tricks to Be Happier

Think positive:

No matter how bad things may seem, be grateful. Warm water on a cold day? Amazing! Cold water on a warm day? Incredible! You really are very lucky when you get right down to it.

Don’t lock yourself up:

Share laughs, discussions and experiences with people who truly appreciate you and bring positivity to your life. A good joke or a hug can be a great remedy to any sickness, don’t you think?
Sharing with others in a healthy manner will help you to feel better.

Smile:

In one research study subjects who smiled after a stressful activity decreased their heart rate more quickly than those who didn't. It even works if you fake smile!

Keep doing what you love:

Go to museums, take a hike, go for a walk, garden, paint, write…
Take time for you; take time to do what you really love. It will help you stay active, feel alive, whole and accomplished. Don’t sit on the couch watching life pass you by.

5.Say "thank you." Even this small act of gratitude will boost your positivity.

Learn to say “No”:

A lot of times we feel unhappy because we don’t know how to say “no.” Why should you always have to live for other people? Why don’t you learn that “charity begins within yourself”?
We can’t always do things for others in sacrifice of our own desires. Reassure yourself and start by respecting yourself.

Walk it out:

A 20-minute brisk walk gets the heart pumping and will decrease stress.

8.Don’t give up in tough times:

Remember that “this too shall pass” and that life goes on.
Although it’s true that life is full of bad experiences and there are a lot of rocks along the way, there are also a lot of beautiful times that soften the blow.

Meditate on a daily basis:

It’s been proved that meditating for a little while every day can help us to release stress, anxiety, depression… It definitely helps us become happier.
Start little by little and increase your time without rushing, and going at a pace that’s comfortable for you. The most important element is beginning and establishing the good habit.

Listen to music:
Without a doubt, music fills the soul. People who frequently listen to music are happier. Don’t think twice about playing music when you’re feeling sad, down or alone. You’ll immediately feel the effects.
Accept what you can’t change and fight for the things you can
Don’t grip too tightly to the things you have, and understand that everything in life is transitionary.
There are certain things that don’t depend on us because that’s just the way life is.
