Happy as You Want to Be


Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't worry, Be happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby McFerrin's simple message surely made a lot of people happy by telling them not to worry (even Jesus said that too).
Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.
One of better things ever said is - "the only thing in life that will always remain the same is change", and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.
Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who they are can avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along well with.
Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make life more wonderful and also more healthy.
To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is really simple, just choose to be happy.
There are several ways by which you can do this.
Being grateful is a great attitude. we have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, whatever you do, do it with sincere heart.
News is stressful, get less of it, but of course, if you find it interesting, than that is the good news for you. Just be a well-informed person, don't over do it.
Get into religious community if you feel like it. It will help you to understand other people point of view when they can think clearly.
Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste, manage your time so you can do what you've gotta do and do what you wanna do.
Don't forget to laugh..this is important thing to do. Watch comedy shows or whatever that you find it funny.
Express you feelings and affections to those around you, especially those who are close to you. Of course, your expression should be balanced by your reasoning, but don't let reasoning to always keep you to express you feelings.
Working hard to give satisfaction of yourselves.
Learning is a joyful exercise, try and learn something new everyday, don't worry you don't have to do different things to accomplish this goal. Just the same routine can give you many experiences when you have different point of views.
Run, jog, walk, and do other things that your body was made for and let you feel alive.
Feel the passion of being alive!
