People who are more thankful and who feel more blessed are in general more happier than other people. This doesn't mean they posses more, but they are more appreciative of what they have no matter how much or how little it is.
1. Don't take everything so serious, don't take life so serious and don't take yourself too serious. Be light hearted. Learn from children around your, learn from their lightheartedness. Make sure you have time to have fun, to celebrate and once in while be lay back and plan a vacation.2. Learn again to enjoy the simple and basic pleasures of life. We are sometimes so busy that we are not noticing anymore the beautiful things we are surrounded with. A simple way to do that is to use your senses more conscious: Smell the flowers, See the blue skies, Listen to child laughter or silence, Feel a nice breeze, Truly taste what you eat.
3. The Power of now. We are so occupied with what lies ahead or what have been, that we have lost how to live in the moment. The number one and still growing mental symptom in modern world is worrying. Worrying means that your mind is occupied with things that are not even certain to occur. We should better learn how to live in the moment and focus on the here and now.
4. Be more relaxed. How can you be happy if you are constantly busy, frustrated or even angry? Relaxed doesn't mean do nothing. Being relaxed is an attitude not an activity.
5. Be grateful. Feeling blessed, grateful and appreciative should probably be on top of this list. When you have a stronger sense of love and thankfulness you will have a happier and even healthier life. An attitude of gratitude can be practiced and learned. A good way to do that is to make a little list, each day before you go to bed write down three to five of things you are thankful about of the day passed.
