Being happy comes from within yourself. Know the difference between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is what you get from things like food, clothing…so pleasure comes from things. Happiness is not dependant on things, it is not conditional. It is a state of being that comes from inside you. You’re only as happy as you want to be. Try to make the best of everything..I can’t really help you, you gotta help yourself!
But some keys to happiness are:
1. Daily exercise
2. Happy, motivating friends. Not people who bring you down.
3. Enough Sleep!!!
4. Self trust…trust your own judgement..love yourself!!
5. Always be grateful. You’re alive, breathing..be grateful! :)
6. Smile!!! Studies show even when you’re not happy, smiling increases your mood!!!
Some Buddha quotes I try to live by are:
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
“To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
Hope this helps a little bit!? Now go for a walk and smile because you deserve it :)
Anonymous: You seem so happy lately and it's so great!!! What is the secret to being happy honestly? I know that sounds stupid, but I was hoping you had some tips on how to be a generally happier person.. Everytime I am happy even if for a second, something comes along and brings me down again. Whether it's self confidence, home life, or feeling like I'm not good enough. Idk how to get through it.. I'm having a rough time with happiness right now..
Anonymous: I remember like last year you would always talk about the great gatsby and like no one even knew what it was or anything and now since the movies been out everyone acts like they're so involved with literature and they have always loved gatsby and stuff lmfao
Hahaha I thought the same exact thing..But it’s whatev..Live and let live right? It’s just a shame that a lot of people probably won’t read the book because it’s impeccable.
