If your passion is playing soccer, writing poems, or teaching children how to swim, make time to do it. You'll find that when you're doing what you love, you're filled with joy. How much better does that sound than forcing yourself do something you don't like?

Spend Time With Your Loved Ones

There's no replacement for spending quality time with your loved ones. We're social beings, even if you're an introvert or a loner. People love spending time with their friends and family for good conversation, bonding, and some laughs. Life's too short to live it completely alone.

Look at stress as a positive

When we get stressed, thinking positively is the absolute last thing we want to do. But it is a key to living a happy life. Currently you see stress as a threat and not as a challenge. I encourage you to start seeing stress as a challenge.

So how do you do this? The next time you are stressed, stop for a minute and think about how you can approach things differently next time around so that the stress in your life is reduced. For example, let’s say you are running late for work and stressed out. Next time, make it a point to plan ahead by thinking over your morning the night before. By simply taking a few minutes here, you can reduce or even remove the stress.





Now not all stress is in our control, but it helps to look at it objectively and see if there is anything we can do differently so that in the future the situation doesn’t repeat itself. For any time you can’t remove stress out of your life, you can rely on the usual tactics to cope – exercise and mediation are 2 great options.

Be Thankful

When you think of all the things that you have to be grateful for, you realize how blessed you already are. Without even realizing it, we take our basic necessities for granted -- a roof over your head and plenty of food to eat. By appreciating the things that you already have, you'll begin to feel happier in your life.

Happiness is an inside job. Happiness is an inside job.

Help Others

Sometimes after we've achieved our own personal goals, we still feel empty inside because we haven't made a meaningful contribution to someone else's life. When we volunteer or help others, it feels good to just be of service to someone else. The impact we make feels fulfilling and is a big potential source for our own happiness.

Forgive and Forget

Holding a grudge will harm you more than the person you're holding it against. Ask yourself, "What would it take for me to let go of the past?" and notice how you feel when you let go of your anger for a few seconds. Focus instead on a bright future and you'll feel better for it.

Stay away from people who bring you down. Stay away from people who bring you down.





Give More Gifts

You don't have to give expensive gifts; sometimes a poem, a quick note, or a thoughtful email will brighten someone else's day, and yours. Share what you can give to all the wonderful people in your life.





Share With Others

When we share our thoughts, our time, and our abilities with others we feel better for it. A life lived without sharing can become lonely. When you share with others, they'll feel great towards you and help you to feel more joy in your own life.

Dump Negative Thinking

You already know that negative thinking will bring you down. So how do you stop it? Become more aware of it and try replacing your negative thoughts with some positive ones. Spend less time with negative people and more time with positive people.





Organize your thoughts.

Many people push away happiness when they are overwhelmed. When you keep everything in your head, it can be difficult to get the perspective you need. Try making lists of the things that seem too big to manage on your own. You may find that you can do most of these things on your own and that the list isn’t as long as you thought, but if you need help, ask for it.





Be grateful everyday.

According to researchers Martin Seligman, Robert Emmons, and Michael McCullough, being grateful can result in feeling happy about your life, more enthusiastism and more willingness to help others. Being grateful may even reduce coronary artery disease. Take the time to write down what you're grateful each and every day.





Value your values.

We all have a value system, a way we have decided to go through life, which makes us feel like a good person. When you know what works and what doesn’t, it can make your life a whole lot easier. The important thing to remember is to not lose sight of your values when life becomes a roller coaster. Keeping your values strong will help create happiness.
