Noticing the little positive things in life will help keep you focused on the present, and not think on thepoast or worry about the future. Try always to notice when you feel good, or you’re not suffering, or you are tasting something really delicious, or you feel something cold or hot, anything.

You deserve happiness. That simple statement is actually profound for many people, as they don’t believe they really deserve to be happy. It’s often unconscious. If you feel that within yourself, you need to first realize that you deserve happiness. Say to yourself several times ” I deserve to be happy”.Say to yourself several times ” I deserve to be happy”.

Many people obsess about others who are successful or happy. That gets you nowhere, but only to an unhappy state. Instead, be happy for them and their good luck. Then focus on yourself, and what you do right.

There is a state of doing known as Flow, which is when you completely lose yourself in a task and forget about the world around you. It leads to happiness, and productivity. Set yourself up for it by clearing distractions, giving yourself a challenging (but accomplishable) task, and making it something that you like doing. Then try to lose yourself in that task. Let yourself be absorbed in an activity for which you ave much passion.

Shift your thoughts to happy thoughts. Instead of thinking about problems, move to the next step: how to solve it. Instead of thinking, “Oh, this is so hard,” or “Oh, I can’t seem to do this,” or “we don’t have any more of that,” think, “Well, what’s the solution to to this?” By developing a solution-oriented thinking, you’ll soon be much happier.
