What is Happiness?
All of us attempt to find and keep happiness through the life. Nobody is happy most of the time. To be happy the achievements, outcome, relationship is not the necessity. But we can follow some steps to be happy in the life. You also try these steps.
Smiley Face is the representation of
Happiness. Happiness is a
psychological as well as emotional condition
of well-being differentiates by pleasant emotions. Generally What
"happiness" is ? and How we might attain it? are the questions
approaching to the mind. The answer can be defined like this. Happiness is
needed for living a good life rather than an emotion. Happiness is
a fuzzy concept and can signify many things to many people.
Let’s look at some definitions of Happiness.
In the 2nd Edition of Handbook of Emotions, Leda
Cosmides and John Tooby said that happiness comes from "encountering
unexpected positive events".
In the 3rd Edition of the Handbook of Emotions, Michael
Lewis said that "happiness can be obtained by seeing a significant
other".
In a March 2009 edition of The Journal of Positive
Psychology, Sara Algoe and Jonathan Haidt said that "happiness" may
be the label for a family related emotional state, such as joy, satisfaction,
gratification, excitement, and victory.
A Harvard Business School study found that "spending
money on others actually makes us happier than spending it on ourselves"
Happiness through life

Be optimistic.
Follow your gut.

Try a new food.
Rearrange your room in a weird
way.
Write a funny or inspiring quote

Scream as loud as you can (warn
your family first!) and bounce up and down; jump all around.
Get your swimsuit on, go outside
and turn the hose on yourself, if it's a hot day.
If you have a child, either now or

anything to help him/her.
Keep in close touch with relatives
and a small circle of friends. You can't beat their love and support.
If there's a person in your life
who is a negative influence and who is dragging you down in some way, don't be
afraid to remove such a person from your life.
Warnings
If you are continually unhappy or
depressed, seek professional help.
Happy people are not happy all the
time. Everyone has times when they feel sad, guilty and angry etc.
Happy people are just better at active
back to a state of contentedness.
We may all feel negative at some
moment in our lives, but try to bounce back and live in the moment, and be
content with everything you do.
