Perhaps you have heard someone say "...so-in-so is great, but I'm just not happy." Or were there times when you wondered why you just couldn't seem to find happiness? Keep reading so that you can learn how you can choose to be happy.
Something that you have to choose to be is called happiness. A person could have all the money in the world, and still be unable to acquire what it is they really want, and ultimately remain unhappy. A person could still be lonely even if they are surrounded by all of their friends and loved ones. And, a person could have to eat bugs to survive, in a cold, wet prison cell, and still be happy to eat those bugs, and happy to be alive. This person has gratefully accepted their surroundings, and has found some good or greater meaning in it, making the experience more pleasurable. By being mindful of the moment and recognizing the potential it may have, this person chose to be happy with what they had.
It is quite easy to get into the habit of being happy. The first step is learning to appreciate your blessings, seeing the good or greater meaning of things. This requires that you become more aware of your five senses. How else could the smell of freshly baked cookies cheer up your woefully dreary day? How else could the faint sound of your sleeping child's breathing ease you into your own peaceful resting state? In order to become more aware of our surroundings and accept them, we need to use our senses. It's then that we can change our surroundings to become more pleasing to us. Small but insignificant changes such as placing candles by the bathtub, or buying a special lamp for your reading area would be included here.
Colors play an important role in one's moods and this was suggested by scientific research. It seems that light green and orange make people feel happier while red can make them feel hungry. Interior decorators are being hired by a lot of people as part of their strategy for feeling better, as interior decorators have studied colors, patterns, layouts, etc., and certain factors are what they use to create a comfortable living area that's tailor-fit to your needs. Keep in mind that you need to be frugal and also research your interior designer. As for the positive effect that's brought by redesign, they don't need to be boggled down by guilt from over-doing it. Doing things that make you feel good is the idea here. Overspending won't make you feel good and neither would overindulging. But if you shopped around and you got the best deal that's completely fitting all your needs, then it will make you feel good.
Again, awareness is the key to happiness. You can choose to be appreciative and happy as long as you become aware of yourself and your surroundings.
