We all just want to be happy, don’t we? But still, most of us lead hectic lives with happiness making a special appearance from time to time.
This makes us wonder, why is this happiness so short-lived? It is because we are busy chasing it. Acquiring something will surely make us happy, but that happiness will fizzle out, as eventually, we’ll find something else to chase after.
How long will we play this chasing game?
Being happy is a choice you make every day. Happiness is indeed attainable, and we all have it within ourselves to be happy right now.
So, here are 21 simple tips to attain happiness in this very moment, rather than chasing it.
- Keep a diary and re-read it from time to time.
- Forgive people for their wrong doing, even when they didn’t apologise.
- Wear your favourite outfit when you feel gloomy.
- Try to see good in every bad situation.
- If something is causing you stress, see how you can fix it.
- Think of a DIY project and make it happen.
- Spend time with your loved ones.
