Helping the people around us is one of the most rewarding things there is. Because being the reason others smile is one of the many ways to find that magic formula called "happiness".
However, many people think that material possessions, a relationship, or a good job are reasons enough to be happy. For this we want to reveal how you can be grateful to others with five simple tips.
Write down the things you are grateful for in a notebook
Sit down, grab a pen and paper and write down all the good things that have happened in your life (work, health, love, emotional stability, etc.). This will make you take a much more positive attitude towards life and towards others.
Remember the negative things
It's time for some "reverse psychology". Think of all the bad or negative situations that you, or your loved ones, have faced and be happy and proud to have had the courage to overcome them or to learn to live with them..
Do you have friends that you really care about?
Think of a longstanding friendship. First, ask yourself what you have received from this report, then what you have given yourself, and finally, if you have caused any problems for your friend. In this way, you will realize that perhaps you "owe" more to this friend you care a lot about.
Use your senses
Would most of you say that you are happy that you are healthy or have a good job? So how about stimulating your senses and going out into the countryside, breathing fresh air and just feeling the ocean breeze? In this way, the problems will "get smaller" and you will feel grateful for what you have. Your setbacks and unforeseen events will take a back seat and you will worry more about the people around you..
Remember to be "visibly" grateful
The stress and responsibilities of everyday life sometimes make us forget that we are grateful. To avoid this, write yourself a reminder on your phone or on a post-it to thank those who have helped you so much. For sure you will feel better about yourself and without much effort.
Ultimately, these are simple tips to feel happier more or less immediately. Now you just have to put them into practice, as if you were to reach a goal. If you reach it, you will feel the feeling that you have done your duty and contributed to the happiness of the people around you..
