In our daily life we all have good and bad times, which can make it hard to stay happy. Wether we are having a life crisis, a divorce, sickness or just a bad day, a change of attitude can make us feel better.
Happiness doesn't come from other people, or things or even feelings. It comes from our decision to take control of our present, accept what we are and understand where we are in our life.
But, how can some people always stay happy regardless their situation?
We have put together 6 tips on how you can stay happy, and I mean truly happy:
1. Be grateful with your world
Gratitude is always confused with the act of "Saying Thanks" to people when they do something for you. But Gratitude is a more complex and general term than that. It involves the idea of understanding what is happening in your life, opening our mind to observe who we are and where we are in our life story.
More importantly accepting that if we want to walk forwards we need to accept and recognize all the positive things we have already in our life.
Gratitude is having the right positive attitude that will help to create the next pleasant moment.
Be grateful with nature, with your health even if you don't have it, be grateful with all those things you want to call into your life.
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” Eckhart Toole
2.Happiness is a choice, make it your habit:
When we decide to look at the world will positive eyes, we can find confidence, harmony and self believe. When we look at the situations with a clear mind, our decisions are better and we become happier. Also when you practice Happiness you will feel healthier, kinder and positive in every area of your life.
Recognize your blessings and start to enjoy you present .
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
3.Recharge your energy in Nature:
A daily walk in the forest, countryside or a park can give you so much. When you look at nature and observe it's perfection, colors and changes, you can get inspired to start your day with a clean perspective, knowing that nature is the best teacher to learn from about patience, resilience and growth.
Deep breathing will give you more clarity of mind, a clear view of the ideas, problems or challenges. When in nature, try to hug a tree, smell flowers, touch the grass and feel the air; all of these elements will recharge your soul, Its like meditating with open eyes.

4.Be Kind with others, we are fighting battles
Recognize other's efforts by acknowledging their achievements. We are all on similar journey's, trying to walk different parts, finding the right way or the right road, if we only look to other with ego and jealousy, we will never be able to feel happiness in our daily being.
Nobody is competing with you, because your journey is at your pace and you will face your own obstacles.
So being kind with our selves and others will help to make us more positive in life.
Try to look at everyone like a part of the world and not like a part of a race. We are all unique and we all deserve respect and kindness, be the one to start living by example.
“Be nice to the environment. Be nice to animals. Be nice to people. If you do that, you will leave a mark on the world.” Enock Maregesi
5.Keep yourself inspired:
When we keep our mind inspired we are creating goodness. Make your dreams come true with little daily actions, keep active in the pursuit of your goals, surround yourself with things that reflect your dreams, your thoughts, your feelings.
Put positive energy around your and keep it flowing. Visualizing your thoughts is a great way to give them life, you can write ideas, paint them and take actions that will get you close to them. Happy people will take actions to achieve their dreams, and keep themselves busy and inspired.
“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Jane Goodall
6.Act now, don't dream in future
People who stay happy live in the now, the present moment, the present feeling, the present action. When you decide to focus on to what is happening now, your actions are more accurate and your decisions more efficient. If your mind in in the future, you will not achieve anything now, and now is the next step for tomorrow.
So if you want to love, do it now, if you want to create start now, if you want to forget start now. Our actions now will define the results of tomorrow. If you want to be happy tomorrow, then start today. Live in your now, not in your dreams.
“We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.” Bill Watterson
7.You are not happy because everything is perfect:
Our actual world is full of many unfortunate things like poverty, hunger, wars, abuse and political issues, but we can't wait for everything to be repaired to be happy.
By being happy, you are not turning your back to the problem, on the contrary you are understanding the blessing in your life and the fact that you can help others by being helpful, kind and supportive. If you are sad or mad, you will never be able to do things to change your world.
But if you keep a positive attitude you can bring faith to others, you can help your community, or you just can be a good citizen in order to be part of a changing society. A good attitude will not remove unfortunate events, but it will change how you react to events, and most importantly, will lead you to a healthier and happier life.
Turn all those negative thoughts into happy, loving and kind thoughts by consciously managing the habit of a positive attitude. Use your energy to keep it.
Be aware of your thoughts, let them flow by deep breathing, train your soul to feel free, and enjoy life within nature, the universe and appreciate your personal inner peace.
