You Can Convince Yourself To Be Happy!  Here's How

If you're anything like me, happiness is a difficult thing to keep up with. I believe that we should always be happy, but when the days give little indication that life will be this way, it's hard not to start feeling down.

Fortunately, I found an easy way to make yourself happy: Convincing yourself is one of the most powerful and effective ways to do just that! Here's how you can do it. The best thing about this strategy? It doesn't matter if you're happy or not in the moment; what matters is whether you believe that your idea of happiness could come true when your time comes.

As with many things in life, the mind is often bigger than the world around us. Everyone has different ways to live his/her life and enjoy it, but I think that most of us would agree that we would be happier if we were in a healthier state, with a clearer view of what is going on around us, and a deep appreciation for who are and what we have. Unfortunately, these situations are easy to fall out of even when you know how to prevent them.

So why do so many people fall short in all these areas? Well, first of all, because happiness is subjective; there's no wrong or right way to be happy about something. But if we all would agree that one of the most important ways to be happy is to appreciate what we have, and see how beautiful our surroundings really are, then perhaps it's not a surprise that we fall short.

This is why I say that you can make yourself happy in any direction that you haven't been before; because if the goal is to remind yourself about your current state of mind, it doesn't matter what it is or how good or bad it has been in the past.

One thing that's clear to me is that when you begin this process, you will never be able to change your circumstances completely. But you can change your thoughts around them and convince yourself that your situation isn't as bad as it really is. This way, you'll never have that constant feeling of sadness and depression, or the nagging doubt of whether things could have been better.

So let's see how this works!

How To Convince Yourself You're Happy:

1) Start by realizing that you will always be unhappy in at least some aspects of life no matter what; something obviously wrong is built into your mind to help guide you through life until something better comes along. But this doesn't mean that everything has to be bad. The fact is, there are plenty of things that could actually be good for you and make you happy. The trick, then, is to see them as such; congratulate yourself for everything good happening to you in your life.

2) See all the aspects of life that could make you happy as something positive and beautiful. Things like healthy food and exercise can give you a lot in return. And that's what really matters in the end!

3) Remember that no matter how bad things get for you in the past: You can convince yourself to be happy about them. That's right; instead of looking at things that happened to you as negative experiences, remember them as a lesson learned. You can always use that knowledge in the future to do better.

4) Try to see everything around you as a gift from God. We don't have everything we want, but if you stick with what you do have and understand what it means and how it was given to you, then most likely things will turn out for the best in the end.

5) Be thankful for what you have; thank all the people who helped give it to you, encourage yourself for all that you've accomplished with them, and try to see yourself as someone who is needed and appreciated for all of your efforts.

6) Remember, there are things that you cannot change at all. It won't matter how hard you try or how much you want something to happen, it won't become true. But everything else is entirely up to you, and you can think about things as possibilities and not past events. This can help you to see change in your life as an opportunity to make something better come along in the future so that a new experience is similar only to the one before it.

7) Remember that happiness isn't dependent on anything outside of yourself, so even if something bad happens, it doesn't have the power to make you unhappy completely. Even if you lose everything you have, it doesn't mean that you no longer have anything. If your health and your savings are stripped away, all that matters is what remains.

8) Spending more time with people who made you happy in the past can help to remind yourself of how good life used to be when you were younger and happier. Don't forget those good days; it's easy to lose track of where they are when life gets stressful and difficult, but there are still chances for happiness even when the clouds seem to be thicker around us than ever before!

9) Remember, nothing lasts forever; things will change sooner or later even if it seems impossible. So try to let go of your worries, and remember that at some point in time you'll have a chance to do everything again in a better way.

9) Always remember that there's so much more potential for you to be happy in your life compared to everyone else. Even if you've done most things before, think about all the chances you have that others may never have in their life: It's easy to see how many new experiences are ahead of you.

10) Remember that you are always alone, even if you're surrounded by people who love and care about you. Always try to see yourself on your own in your mind when things get tough to remind yourself that you can make it through it all without anyone else's help. The world is an interesting place only if we look at it as our planet and home; but if we really want to enjoy the experience of being alive, then we have to go out there and do everything we can to make our moment in time one that matters the most!

11) In the end, remember that no matter what happens to you, your happiness is completely up to you. Feeling sad or depressed about anything else is pointless. It's up to you to decide how good your life is, and whether or not you can make it better. This way, if the bad stuff happens you'll be prepared to deal with it because you'll be able to say that you did everything that could possibly be done about it.

12) Don't think about the fact that there are so many things in life which are out of your control. No matter what happens, all of our lives will eventually come to an end at one point or another; but when that day comes, we're all thankful for what we've had in our lives up to that point (or we're not!).

Conclusion:

So there you have it! Twelve tips on how to convince yourself that you're happy no matter what happens in your life.

This list has been compiled and written as a guide over the years, but then again: It's only there to help you. At the end of the day, it's you who will have to accept things for what they are and try to feel good about your circumstances.

If something good happens in your life, congratulations are in order! But don't get too comfortable just yet because there will always be a chance for change; it's up to you whether or not that change is for better or worse.
