The Search for Happiness is a popular activity for many people. Due to unpredictable challenges in each of our personal lives. We find that making a thorough effort to be happy is a task in itself. Happiness is a feature of the mind that arises from positive mental attitudes, which, among others, incorporate the intention to not to hurt others, the want to provide help to our peers, and to be happy with life.

1.Do everything with Concentration

Mindfulness is the state, in which whatever we do. We do it with thoughtfulness, appreciation and patience. We’re not multi-tasking or thinking of other things. We are paying attention to every detail to what we are doing, and enjoying it. Many things that we do every day can be with mindfulness. Something like Walking, Eating, giving attention to our breathing.

2.Keep good thoughts and let go off bad thoughts

Our thoughts are what consumes our minds day in and day out. Our thoughts are always with us, and often times it seems as though we are not the driver. Especially when these thoughts have a negative perception. Like when our thoughts are focused in anger, frustration, depression, or anxiety. We can find ourselves engrossed on those thoughts.
We should all practice letting go off these thoughts and not giving them air to breathe. Instead only talk about the good things. If we had a bad day at work and in traffic, don’t give those frustrations any time to take over your voice. Because if you do they will get bigger and bigger. These minute moments that were bad will then become the day that was bad.

3.Count your blessings

Be grateful, When you wake up in the morning, once the dizziness has worn off. Think of things you are grateful for. These things could be people, places you have been to and experienced. Places you hope to go to, or the project at work you enjoyed working on.

4.Every day, look at your goals

Write down your goals. Plan them out on a separate sheet of paper, write them down very discretely and to the point. Now pin that somewhere, to the background of your phone, desktop computer, refrigerator. Somewhere – that you will see every day, so you don’t lose sight on your goals.

5.Find flow and be Grateful

Find your flow. Find it in as many things as you can. Do things with full concentration and ease. Which is harder than it sounds. But if you can work at something and be completely engrossed in it. Then you can find flow, and experience happiness.
Be grateful. It’s a great way to practice mindfulness and living in the moment. Buddha said that gratitude, among other qualities, was the “highest protection,”. Meaning that it injects us against unhappiness. It is by being grateful and appreciative that we begin to focus on the blessings in our lives. This makes us more positive and happy.
