What kinds of positive things do you do to stay in happiness as much as possible?
One of the biggest ones for me is living by the philosophy of: Holding myself to the highest standards in all areas of life and expecting nothing from others. It is amazingly effective to reach personal happiness.

Good answers.
What about your mental and emotional happiness, such as how you speak (mentally) to yourself or about others? Making it positive has a huge effect on your personal well being too. Interaction with fellow humans, one I am still working on, how do you interact positively to make life better for yourself and others? I try to never judge since I can't walk in others shoes. I try to smile a lot when I encounter others to make it a more positive interaction. |

Very interesting question Dragoness
At a very basic level ... I choose it. When faced with multiple ways to react to situations, I always think which way feels lighter, which reaction would make me happier and bring more joy or peace to others. I don't judge people, I expect the best and I don't spend a lot of time around negative people or circumstances. I cultivate a feeling of gratitude for whatever shows up and look for the value in it ... |

If I feel down I look into my daughters beautiful faces. They are both Gods greatest gifts to me. I see their wonderful Father in their mannerisms .They are my greatest joy in life and always bring a smile to face.And when that doesn't work I try yoga. If that doesn't work a big bowl of chips and dip always does.

You know that is a very thought provoking question. I am a perfectionist and strive to be that way but although its suppose to make me happy; it ends up making me very unhappy when I can't perfect something. It makes me happy when I volunteer to teach music and of course donating food and clothing to those less fortunate. |

I always look at the silver lining and don't worry about it.

IDK - haven't thought about it much
I avoid negative people & busybodies works for me otherwise I stay healthy and know what that means I am not particularly happy ATM but all things considered I have a pretty positive outlook and I find ways to make some content moments for myself but I really don;t think about it that much |

Several years ago I decided to avoid as many negative people as possible.. What a change it made in my life..and I do have standards that I try to follow... Having had 3 surgeries in the last 2 yrs, my drs are amazed that I heal so well and quickly.. They say its because of my positive attitude... I agree...

I will always try to find something positive in every situation. I've always been that way. If I've been wronged, I look at it from the other persons perspective. I think my headline even says happiness is a choice. It really is.

Yes, it is personal responsibility.
I pretty much agree with what others have said, including Ruth.

hmmm...good one. In india we have a traditional way. When u wake up,before opening ur eyes completely,have a sit in bed,take ur both hands close,take them in front of ur face ,open ur eyes slowly & watch the lines on your hand. This watching pleases you & whole day becomes pleasant!! It works,just try it. (Sorry for my poor english,but I hope everyone got me )
