Happiness has become something rare today, people of every age group are facing uphill task to keep themselves happy.
Remember! When you laughed out loud in your life last time. Please don’t count the laughter which was
induced by a laughter show on TV or a comic movie of your favorite movie star. In
our daily life laughter seems lost somewhere.
Take a round in any office & you will find people are working
like machines and facial expressions are only cosmetic. Human beings are
turning into machines - expressionless, emotionless & short tempered. Why is
this happening? The real essence of life is lost somewhere, something is going
drastically wrong.
Time has changed the urban life forever, nobody has time for
others, and relationships are measured & maintained keeping financial
status in mind. Relationship is no more an emotional issue it’s an
affordability issue now. Sounds irritating & mind becomes clueless.
For absolute happiness if you depend on others including your
most cherished relationship you are not doing justice to yourself. You need to
understand life from your perspective. Let’s try to understand the impact of
being in happiness. If you remain happy you will create a happy environment
around you. Being positive about life in a miracle you will come to know once
you practice happiness.
The key is to understand the self worth. It will help you to
establish the reason to love yourself. A happy person can only give others the
gift of happiness. As only a person who has money can give others money, in
similar terms to give happiness, first you must have happiness.
Mostly there are two kinds of people in the world; one who
are living in their past with guilt in their lives. Past is something which
will never come back, and can’t be changed. On the other hand the other kind of
people who live in future. Future is always uncertain, now if you keep thinking
about future, all what will come in your mind will be hypothetical &
uncertain.
The need is to live in the present. Present is also known as
the real “Gift of God”. We can act only in present time. Action will bring
results. Results will change the future. Action in right direction will bring
happiness in future, so by present day action one can actually command his/ her
future.
Now let’s talk about few possibilities for practicing
happiness & how one can pamper himself/ herself.
Self talk: - Talk to yourself more often, decide your own
happiness factors, indulge in something you love. Most of the solutions are
within us only.
Self improvement: - Try to remain updated with latest studies
of self help; there is plenty of data & studies available on the internet.
Self improvement is the key to grow in life mentally & spiritually.
Awareness: - Keep yourself updated. Internet is a great tool
besides TV to update you. An updated person on the current fashion, trends,
news & society feels confident while moving in the circle. Confidence
reflects from the body language & makes your acceptance easy.
Join a Gym: - Today’s life is so monotonous that there is
hardly any excitement, by joining some club or gym; you will find new faces
around & by indulging in some exercise like yoga, aerobic or gym workout,
you will get a new energy in life. By doing physical activities we get Adrenaline
rush. “Adrenaline” is a hormone responsible
for stimulating the excitement, good mood and happiness in mind. Yoga can be
practiced at home, thanks to so many yoga gurus for free daily shows on TV.
Go for jogging in the nearby park or field.
Join a Dance Class: - Dancing is not only a great fitness
tool but a great help in up lifting our mood. Dance has always been associated
with happiness & joy. You can join a dance class. Dance forms like Salsa
& Jive are very popular in India now. Dance can be practiced at home also;
you just need a determination & a mobile with MP3 songs in its data card.
Plug in your head phone & start.
Be Fashionable: - Don’t wait for someone to come in your life
to ask you to wear the fashion or the trendy clothes. If you have someone that’s
good; but even if you don’t have any one, do it for you. You will find extreme
happiness & a reason to appreciate yourself. Be in shape by burning some calories
in gym/yoga/dance/jog or some sports activity. Wear what your heart says.
Looking good is bliss.
Ventilate Yourself: - Find out a friend or relative who is a
good listener & share your heart with him/her, the listener might not help,
but just by listening he/she will help you to calm down. When you are calm you
will take better decision which will help to resolve the issue.
Hug yourself: - Sounds strange; but have you ever tried, we
most of the time forget to appreciate ourselves & wait for other to do
this. Try a hug to yourself every morning & say loudly “I Love myself”,
after few days you will realize the power of loving yourself.
Appreciate yourself: - It’s not that you need to be arrogant,
being happy is not being selfish. Remember expressions are the real jewel of a
human being not the features. Simple to understand example - a beautiful face
can attract hundreds of people but it’s all about retention of our loved ones.
Practice Happiness: - Life is like a live drama, which
unfolds everyday in front of us. No clue what’s in the future? When everything
is temporary in life, rest assured your pain is also temporary; just hang on
& keep your positive attitude towards life. Sounds bookish, let me know if
being in negative mood you can do better? Keep reminding yourself “ALL IZ WELL” a famous Bollywood movie
dialogue. But try this it actually works wonder. Thanks to the writer.
Watch Movie: - Don’t wait for the approval for a movie from
your friends or loved ones; try solo. You will like the movie or you will like
the solo company where no one is to tell what to do next, other opinions are
important but not to ruin your mood.
Solo Tourism: - Try solo travelling; taking a break from your
routine life & traveling alone will give you ample time for self talk. You
can grab a book & enjoy your own company.
Grab a book: - Find out a book which has your favorite
topics. Read it. Even if you read few pages you will love it. Try it.
Listening Music: - In our hectic life style, listening music
of choice is also something we need to plan. An old song or a gazal of some maestro
can bring long lasting smile on your face. Try & enjoy.
Bring back the Trust: - Try to make new friends, meet new
people & show interest in life. Trust again. No matter what the past
experience you are carrying. Trust again. It will help you to reach the right
person. If you fail again, it will teach you million dolor lessons. But if you
get someone trust worthy, a genuine friend you will cherish the new friendship
for life.
Live guilt free life. Don’t be
the prisoner of your own past. Free yourself from the past. Doesn't either live
in your future; it will waste your time & efforts. Live in the present
moment. Whatever you will do today; will be a memory for tomorrow. Making
mistakes is human. Learning from mistakes is a way to learn. It's said mistakes are the stepping stones to success.
Let’s
make life a journey which you travel every day. Move yourself towards the
worthy goal. Dream. Dare. Be happy. Your happiness is the best gift to life. Gratitude
is the key to receive the God’s blessings. Pamper yourself. Your happiness will
bring positive people around you. Being happy will work in all walks of life to
your favor.
Pamper yourself. Love
yourself. Show the world your lovable soul. Law of nature will bring the best
of people to you.
