Only this morning i complaint to a dear friend that i don't know if i have been happy. How does happy looks like anyway?
Aristotle once wrote,' happiness is a state of activity.'
Hmmm...check this out and let us ponder a bit and perhaps do what is suggested and then analyse our feelings:
1. Value relationship. The most stable, longest and contented relationship beat income, education achievement and political participation to feeling of happiness.
2. Express yourself. Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising hands...can contribute into self expression and provide feelings of happiness.
3. Focus on the positive. We can test this too. Write down three good things that happen to us everyday for six months and see whether we have an improved outlook.
4. Hydration. drinking plenty of water helps boost our happiness.
And according to World Happiness Report, more happiness predicts better future physical health.
If happiness can be seen by doing these activities or having all the four above, then, it is not that difficult to do and surely i will be able to tell my friend that 'Hey! I know i am a happy person now!'
