How to be happier?

How to be happier?

If you have wondered what to do to be a happier person, you are in the correct place. There is indeed no magic potion for happiness but surely there must be something you can do in order to be happier than you are right now. In this article I'll give you some clues, they have worked for me and I even would dare to say that, yes, I consider myself a happier person after putting this into action.

Stop caring about what other people think.

This despite not being easy is one of the biggest reasons of human unhappiness. When you realise how exhausting is taking everyone's opinion so personal and trying to fulfil their expectations, you start focusing on yourself. Focus on what you like and what you don't and make it you priority without worrying if people like it or not. 

Besides, people always talk, always have something to say when it comes to judge others life. Most importantly, remember, if it makes you happy. I'm talking about anything, any decision in your life, any choice you make. It doesn't have to make sense for everyone. If you want to do something, go ahead or one day you would regret it, trust me. 

Stop overthinking everything.

Don't limit yourself, overthinking every situation in your life won't change the result, put action into it will. And who knows maybe you challenge yourself with something new, even risky in any aspect and you come out victorious. Enjoy every moment is also part of this point, no matter how imperfect or perfect is, It is part of your life and just because of that it's important, don't think it way too much and just enjoy it while it happens. 

Don't be afraid of making mistakes.

No victory teaches you more than failure. Over time, you'll learn to thank every mistake you made in order to not making it again. Experience is based on mistakes, don't you ever forget that the propose of making mistakes is correct them not keeping them the same way or you'll sank into them. If you make it wrong, try again. After every fault, you'll change for better, always for better.

Stop worrying about things you cannot control.

Let me tell you that as hard as it sounds what is supposed to happen in your life, will. No matter if you run from it or hide, It'll eventually come to you. When we accept that we have nothing but very little control over our life, everything becomes easier. 

If you allow me, I'm telling you a mantra that has helped me to understand lots of things, I personally repeat it everyday never to forget. 

-I’m learning, I’m learning not to force things to happen, I’m learning to just let them be, to let them align with my life when the time it’s right. To let the universe bring them to me without having to run after them, because if you have to run after something it means it doesn’t want to be caught. I’m trusting God that whats meant for me will eventually find me no matter where I am. I’m learning to let those who don’t want me in their lives go and I may even hold the door open for them because I don’t want temporary visitors anymore.  

Stop comparing yourself with others.

Don't compare yourself with anyone, don't try to be like others. It will sound a little cliche but be yourself. Accept you the way you are. Learn to appreciate your real potential and don't wast it by comparing to others. Each and everyone has something pretty much special inside of theirselves. Try to be better everyday, not better than someone but better than yourself from yesterday.
