Ways to Find Happiness

You had a very hectic week with a lot of workload and now you are returning from your office for christmas holidays. You are reuniting with your batchmates after 7 years and reminiscing your college memories over a cup of coffee. You are finally transferred to your hometown after all these years of work and you get to stay with your family . You are inviting people with a broad smile for your grand daughter’s marriage ceremony. What is the common feeling you get in all these scenarios ? Happiness. Happiness is not always about getting good grades and having materialistic acquisitions , it is about deriving inner satisfaction and peace.

There are two essential elements of happiness (subjective well-being):

Everyone has a healthy balance of both positive and negative feelings, emotions, and moods. Generally speaking, being happier is associated with having more good feelings than negative ones.

Life satisfaction refers to how content you are with various aspects of your life, such as your relationships, career, accomplishments, and other things you value highly.

How to find happiness ?

• Spend time with people who make you smile. According to studies, we are happiest when we are with other happy people. Keep company with folks that are happy.
• Even if things aren't going well in your life, you can still discover happiness by looking within.
• The capacity to express gratitude for who you are and what you do have will always be present. Consider the aspects of yourself that you find appealing to start.
• You are more likely to be happy if you are satisfied. Working towards attainable goals can definitely help you become happier because you'll be pursuing your passions.
• Those who are content at work are happy. They pursue it for the satisfaction it offers, not for the money or the celebrity. Those who are locked in a well-paying but unfulfilling work quickly learn that this is not the path to happiness. While it is wonderful to get paid for your skills, money is only one factor in determining job satisfaction. Go towards a career or job you adore.
• Try not to dwell on your past failures. What has passed is gone, and dwelling on the future only breeds anxiety and stress.
• Take a break to reset your objectives and keep a flexible attitude.

Keep your focus on the here and now and take advantage of it. Keeping your attention in the present moment has several benefits, including allowing you to appreciate life's beauty and reducing stress.
