The Rules of Lasting Happiness

Are you searching for the key to lifelong contentment? Psychologist Oliver James lists the five simple ways to find it.

Stop the comparisons

It is impossible to expect to be happy all the time, but it is possible to feel comfortable. It’s a fact that depressed people make more comparisons with others and as a result feel miserable. Happy people, on the other hand, rarely compare unless it is to learn something positive from someone they admire. Try to do the same. Don’t be afraid of other people’s choices, looks or lifestyles; instead try to realize that their lives have no impact on your life.

Appreciate your positives

Many fail to enjoy what they have because they spend their lives looking at what they don’t have. Take a look around you. Be grateful for what’s good in your life every day and it will become a habit. Encourage happiness in others by sharing what you have.

Live in the present

Our lives are full of worries about the past or the future. Why didn’t I have rich parents? When will I have enough money to buy my dream home? Learn to live each day as it comes. If you are not happy with something, change it.

Look at your childhood

Maybe your childhood wasn’t very happy, deal with it, then move on. Stop blaming your parents and make the best of what you have, and you will feel happier and more in control.

Speak your mind

Happy people are very honest. They say what is on their mind without fear. As a result, they are not keeping negative emotions inside. If you want to lie to someone, ask yourself why. You will feel happier if you just tell the truth. In the same way, if you have something positive to say, just say it – if you love someone, tell them as much as you can, and if you appreciate somebody’s act of kindness, say so.
