At this moment, do you consider you're very happy? You might not be one of the handful of people who think they are very happy, or maybe you want to improve your happiness, so here are 7 quick tips to improve your life and do what you love:
1. Realize the only time you have is now
When we think about it, can we change the past, be it past events, feelings or else? No, we can't grab it really and turn it around directly.
Now, can we seize the future? No, it's still in the form of possibilities that might happen.
So all we have is "just" this ongoing "Now"! Get rid of this linear way of thinking and realize it's now that all is going on. To comprehend it is liberating already. We can't continue to live in the past, so the only reasonable option is getting rid of its weight, forget it or repair it in the now. Nor can we live for a future that isn't here neither, for a future big joy we might have. We can prepare for it, that's it, and that's why we should daydream if we like it in the now, but we have to remember to be happy this very moment.
2. Forgive yourself and others
You might feel unhappy because of things you did in the past. We have got to allow forgiveness wipe all that and start anew, both for ourselves and others. If it helps you to feel better and you judge you have to do so, try now to undo the wrongs you did, by admitting how sorry you are, asking for forgiveness and help them. Accept apologies too for the wrong others did to you.
3. Let go of past hurts
As human beings, we can encounter grief, violence, sickness and other hurting events. You can't let that follow you around mostly because it's like an extra depressing weight to carry!
I got my "fair" share too, and I had to realize that it was bringing me down and that I had the right to be happy again. I got rid of most of it and, even if for some I still have to remind myself of not minding anymore, I improved my happiness a great deal more! You can do it too...
4. Be grateful
Realize how blessed you are every day and whenever something great happens to you. It helps seeing how happy you really are.
5. Have fun now
Ask yourself whenever you want to have more fun: "What would I love to do now and would make me happier?" Also, do what excites you, your passion(s), everyday. Imagine what you would love your life to be and start living it now!
6. Find your purpose, your mission
What do you excel in and/or feel you are here to do? Just do it and find time for it now. It is important for your happiness because it's a great joy to be able to do what we are good at and to help others too.
7. Have reminders
To remind myself to be happy, as a safeguard, I got a tattoo that says "Just be, right here, right now, happy to be". You can also use written tips everywhere in your house or at work, such as a computer password that reminds you to be so.
To your happiness and success!
