Too many people make the mistake of thinking that happy people are just lucky – that happiness, for whatever reason, fell into happy people’s laps, and that the opposite happened to unhappy people. However, this isn’t true; happiness isn’t something that happens to you. Instead, happiness is something that you have to work hard to curate. Here are some tips for being happier, as inspired by an article published in The New York Times:
Get Control of Your Thoughts
One of the first steps on the journey to happiness is getting in control of your negative thoughts. While it may feel natural to ruminate on negative experiences, this does not mean that you have to let negative thinking dictate your life. Instead, try to focus on acknowledging your negative thoughts and their roots, be kind to yourself as you approach a negative thought (i.e. talk to yourself how a friend or family member would talk to you), and challenge your negative thinking rather than just accepting it.
Find the Silver Lining
Another tip for being happier is to find the silver lining in a situation. This can be challenging to do if you’re used to being gloomy. However, if you can focus a little bit of your energy on being more optimistic, you’ll probably find that things aren’t always as bad as they look.
