The desire to be happy is innate in humans. Everyone wants to do things or even associate with people that will help them stay healthy and happier. But happiness doesn’t come by a mere wish. You need to do something or avoid certain people in order to stay happy every day.

Have you tried your possible best to be happy but to no avail? Here are 10 things you should practice to be happy no matter what you are passing through.

How To Be Happy – 10 Secrets Of Living a Happy Life

1. Care less about what people say

People who stay happy have the habit of not listening to everything people say about them. Happiness is all about doing what you love and not about listening to what people have to say about you.

If all you do is listen to everything people say about you, you will never be happy in life. People will always say negative things about you. But those words will have power over you only when you allow them to sink and dwell in your mind. If you can stop caring about what people think or say about you, happiness will never depart from your life.

You should just know that people will always say things that will hurt your emotion. But if you mind your business and focus on doing what you love most, you will always stay happy.

2. Be contented with what you have

Happy people are always content with what they have. True happiness comes only when we are satisfied with what we have. You will never feel happy if you are never okay with what you have, no matter how little or big they are. Rather, you will keep envying others and end up wanting more, just to feel satisfied. But too many desires don’t bring happiness. So, if you want to live happily, be satisfied with what you have but don’t remain in your comfort zone.

3. Let go of people or things that make you unhappy

Are you unhappy because you just broke up with your partner? Or because you just lost a loved one. I’m so sorry about that. But if you want to be happy again, let go of those feelings.

For instance, if you can’t stop thinking about your partner, after a breakup, learn to get them out of your head. I know it’s never easy but here is one of my posts about how to stop thinking about someone you love so much to help you get them out of your head.

4. Engage in activities that will cheer you up daily

If you always find yourself unhappy, look for something that will cheer you up. For instance, form the habit of watching funny movies or comedies every night before you sleep. This will help you stay happy every day.

5. Try to actualize one of your dreams

We all feel good when we have finally fulfilled our dreams. It makes us happy. If you are not happy with yourself simply because you have a lot of unrealized goals, then look for one and pursue and make sure you actualize it.

6. Practice gratitude, daily

A grateful heart stays happier. Instead of complaining about the things you don’t have or how life has been so cruel to you, make practising gratitude your daily routine and you will never be sad even for a day.

If you don’t know what to be thankful for, be grateful for the gift of life. A living dog is better than a dead lion. So far you are living, there is hope for you.

7. Always compliment and love yourself

Positive self-affirmations like ‘I’m cute, I’m becoming the man or woman of my dream, I’m blessed, I love myself, etc. can make you happy. Form the habit of loving and appreciating yourself for all your efforts. Here are some nice quotes about self-love to reflect on.

8. Take care of your health

You can never be happy if your body is not in order. That is why you need to keep fit in order to stay happy. Practice eating healthy food like fruits and vegetables, and milk, drink enough water and exercise your body daily to stay healthy. This is another sure way to be happy.

9. Go out with friends

Your friends are capable of making you feel good. Instead of locking yourself up and start thinking about all the bad things that have happened to you, go out with friends, look around the city and enjoy yourself.

10. Make more money

For me, making more money makes me happy. There is no joy in being poor. But if that is not your own game, then go for what makes you feel good, do it and enjoy it.
