Without a happy mind, a happy existence is not possible. Naturally.

Furthermore, although it seems obvious, choosing happiness is a decision. The whole secret is in that.

So how do you attract happiness? What can you do if life is miserable?

The following advice can help you decide to be happy, even when it’s challenging.

1. EMBRACE YOUR SELF-LOVE

If you are critical of yourself, happiness is impossible. Self-love and self-compassion are essential.

If building oneself up was simple. Instead, we are fixated on our flaws.

If your acquaintance had the same “flaws” as you, would you judge them?

No!

You appreciate the traits of your pals. So, to increase your self-esteem, concentrate on your strengths. The more joy you exude, the more you adore yourself. Your mindset is impacted, as is everyone else’s.

“Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.” – Louise Hart

2. DO NOT CONCERN ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS.

Not only is overthinking mentally taxing. It destroys joy.

Who wants to invest hours conjuring up worst-case scenarios?

And it is all in vain.

We mean, consider it (pun intended).

Will you get a reward for foreseeing every potential problem?

You persuade yourself to avoid risks more and more as you envision greater issues.

So you refrain.

3. LEAVE YOUR BAGGAGE BEHIND

If you are continually unhappy with your past, you cannot have a happy existence.

Your brain is unable to distinguish between your fantasy and real-world experiences.

Your mind makes you feel as though the wrongs you’ve experienced in the past are currently taking place.

Karen White once said, “If you hold on to the things that make you unhappy, you will never be genuinely happy.”

Try to put your pain, rage, or embarrassment behind you…

Concentrating on the good things becomes simpler when the intensity of your past fades.
