Beautiful ones, in this article I want to discuss with you what will help you get a few steps closer to the answer to the question - how to be a happy person? Answer your question, what is happiness. Write down point by point everything that brings you joy, pleasure, and makes you happy. You don't have to only mention the "big" things - love, family, luck - sprinkle your list with small moments of happiness, such as a latte in the morning, snowy weather, winning the lottery, etc. Believe me, having such a “happy list” is very convenient. You remember exactly what can bring you joy when everything seems bad. Sometimes we really just need to remember what will help lift our spirits, and do this to prevent moral exhaustion and burnout. Tune in to opportunities. When the focus is solely on difficulties, a feeling of impasse and hopelessness can be created. In life situations, no matter how terrible they may be for us, there is always a way out. Your task is to give yourself more opportunities. Consider as many options as possible, take advantage of other people's support and reflect on how they see your situation. When immersed in thoughts about the failures of life, financial difficulties, problems on the personal front, think about possible solutions and support. About the opportunities that you have. Remember how many resources you have, what helped you cope before, and believe that in the future you will experience a period when everything will be much better. Identify your strengths. We are used to focusing on achievements and obvious results, like grades in school, numbers on a map, purchases and acquisitions. But life is dynamic, not stable and not fair. To understand which direction you need to move, you need to understand yourself and your skills. I recommend you read this parable How many times have you sunk your boat? What have you already succeeded in? What knowledge do you consider most valuable? You have to answer all these questions honestly for yourself. This way you will not only add motivation, but also outline a “sketch” of your near future. Who knows where and when your talents will come in handy - maybe very soon? Our internal resources are abilities, skills and knowledge, an important support in life that helps us feel safe. It is by arriving in a feeling of security that we are able to feel happy. Put yourself first. To feel like a happy person, you need to love yourself. Pay attention to how you evaluate yourself, what you think and say about yourself. Pump up your strengths and engage in self-development to feel more confident. Praise yourself often for big and small successes and give yourself compliments - this is the best support you provide for yourself. Surround yourself with people who share your interests in self-development and respectful communication with each other. Accept yourself without internal criticism and shame in your desires. Realize your needs with acceptance and love for yourself. Do what you like. It is impossible to spend all your time on something that does not cause interest and inspiration. If you don't like your job, then devote time to looking for a real alternative and opportunities for development. Find the types of creativity available to you that will allow you to fill your life with new colors and a way to express yourself. Activities should bring you satisfaction and pleasure so that you feel energized and inspired. Remember that happiness is already in your hands. You have an important task: learn to organize it in your life. With respect to you, psychologist Olga Bychkova!
