Happiness is a wonderful blessing and it is one of the most important ingredients for a peaceful and successful life.
Happiness is something that every person should find on his/her own. No one can expect another person to give him/her happiness. So why should you be happy at all? Why am I talking about this amidst other important things here at this blog?
1. Happiness creates charm around you and within you.
2. It boosts your positive thinking.
3. It boosts your creativity.
4. It makes you a charming and memorable personality.
5. It backs you up to success.
6. Good for your health!
Convinced to be happy? Convinced that you need to boost your happiness?
Being happy, even if you don’t bother about it, is very important both for your personal life and business. Well, lets dive in for some tips to boost your happiness.
Live the present:
You can neither undo your past nor can you define a future. Then why should you worry about those times that are not at your hands right now?
Present is the only guaranteed time you have to live your life and relish every moment of it. Of course, I am not saying that you should not think about your future, but just do not put the problems over your head.
Past can kill you. Only do remember happy moments and lessons you learned from your mistakes. Do not remember and keep vengeance or envy at your heart. This will destroy your happiness and make your stressed.
With the future, you can always plan for a bright future. You can always take steps and work hard to shine in the future. But there is no point in being “worried” about future since that will take you nowhere but make the situation worse.
Be thankful and contentful:
Be thankful to God (or someone more appropriate as you think) for all you have in life. Be contentful. Think of those who are denied of the basic aspects of living, think of the poor and needy. Your life is far more blessed than most of the people in the world. So be happy.
Have a religious connection:
This will give you a inner happiness, but I give you a word of caution- if you are not the kind of person who is not very religious, then don’t choose this option. Otherwise, a spiritual connection will breathe happiness to your life.
Express yourself:
Share your successes, failures, thoughts, ambitions to your friends or family. Sharing helps you stay happy. Sharing reduces your burdens. Sharing is a way of ventilating your grievances. It also multiplies your joy and makes you feel high.
When you are in trouble you need to share it with someone to get yourself relieved of the solid feeling. In this process you may get useful suggestions and tips from your friends/family so that you can escape the situation and finally be happy. Even if they can’t help you, a mere sharing is worth a lot and makes you feel light.
When you are in joy or when you have just had some success, don’t hesitate to share it. This will multiply your joy and make it long lasting.
Do well with time management:
Efficient time management makes you feel comfortable and confident. Pending works gives a lot of unnecessary worries and pressure that ruins your happiness.
When you are effectively managing your time, you stay in peace. You are not bombarded by unexpected or forgotten deadlines, works and downtimes with your career. This will save you from stress and hence will keep you happy.
Manage anger:
I don’t have to explain a lot about this. Everyone knows that anger is just the enemy of happiness, both yours and others.
Say no to depressive input:
Never engage in negative, depressive or pessimistic conversations. Do not present yourself in such discussions. Always participate in positive and constructive conversations.
Negative or depressive thoughts can also come into you through unwanted information. When you are used to wasting time over Television or mindless browsing, you may come across so many negative stories.
All these will disturb your happiness, so avoid them.
Have honest and faithful friends around:
Friends are a true blessing; they give you joy for sure. When you are among your friends you feel a lot lighter and happier.
When friends are around you everywhere (I mean, have friends at work place, near your house, in the pubs, markets etc.) you naturally smile a lot. And, sharing things become too easy.
Not to mention, with the advent of tech gadgets and social media networks, connecting with friends should not be a big deal.
Happiness makes you live a peaceful and a long life. Don’t ruin or shorten your life by being worried. Wish you happiness and success.

I got one tip to boost your happiness, don’t watch TV! You won’t believe how happy you will be!
Great post Jane! Doing well with time management and saying no to depressive input are two easy improvements which have amazing impacts. For some it seems so easy to get involved in negative conversations about whose day is worse or whose body aches more - but there is so much more to be thankful for just as you wrote!
I will warn that comparing your situation to that of a starved African child, as is the typical hackneyed phrase overused by teens and parents alike, can have waining benefits if we rely upon it to be happy too often. Perhaps a less extreme comparison is beneficial and choosing to mix in other ways to be happy can help it’s benefits last - as can being thankful for such little things as senses. How great is it that we can feel the grass beneath our feet or the sun on our skin? Now there’s a reason to be happy no matter what is going on in life - proof that we’re still living
Hi Craig,
You have made a wonderful point here. Yes I surely agree that we should make comparisons in a non-extreme level. The very proof that we a re living is quite a good reason to be happy.
Thanks for the nice addition.
Cheers,
Jane.
Really good article Jane! The hardest one for me can be expressing myself. That’s always been a challenge for me as I usually just listen to others and be silent.
Thanks!
Happiness is sometimes hard to ‘find.’ You must find a way to create it from the inside! If at all possible a change of scenery usually helps.
Great post,
Tammy
Live in the present is a great tip. You are absolutely right and I have to remind myself to do this every so often. If you do this you will be happier, especially when spending time with family. Don’t think about what else you need to do that day. Have fun doing whatever you are doing!
I think you’re some sort of right.
We should be happy with whats going on, instead of looking behind, because if we’ve some bad happening in back it may simply hurt us.
btw we don’t know these feelings personally, because it could be understand by one who have such kind of problems in real and depends on their severeness as well.
Hi Usman,
You are right, forgetting the past helps a lot.
BTW did you receive my email regarding winning the lucky draw?
Cheers,
Jane.
What’s the Subject?
It might got but didn’t noticed.
Hi, Jane
I think that all the points mentioned by you are important are great but for me the most important are the following: living in the present, not in the past and be thankful for everything you have - don’t compare yourself with those who have more and and are happier. Just look at those who have less and are less successful.
Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.
The religious connection factor is really important…Spirituality really gives you happiness
thanks JaneSheeba For this article .
Happiness is food to the soul and this is why we should always try to be happy. There are many things that happen in our lives that can bring us down but being able to manage anger is the best weapon one can have in order to stay happy.
No reason NOT to be. No good one at least…
Happiness has been seen as the number one factor for staying motivated and focused with your day to day business demands as an unconventional and nontraditional independent-minded entrepreneur
Happiness Truly as you have rightly said Jane, its a mental fuel for creativity and innovation that boost productivity level
Well Said
