Choosing To Stay Happy Despite Life Challenges
How to Be Happy
Hello #indiaunited friends, I trust you are doing well. Welcome to my blog.
Happiness means being in a state of mind where we choose to remain positive, friendly, contented, and resilient irrespective of life's challenges. It is a choice we make in our subconscious mind that no matter what, I’m going to be happy.
Happy Moments
People have different reasons to be happy: after successful exams or certification, after a successful wedding ceremony, birthdays, winning an award, or even securing an appointment, job, or political victory.
However, for me, I intentionally like staying happy, engaging my friends with storytelling to brighten their day and put smiles on their faces. Little wins, progress, and my achievements also keep me happy.
However, sometimes life will happen; I will make mistakes, experience failures, or face setbacks. Other times, it might be obstacles or challenges that life throws up to test my perseverance and tolerance. This is when I activate the other side of me, which is resilient, because tough times never last; only tough people do.
Therefore, to stay happy in such tough times, I intentionally distract myself from the challenges by meditating on my past wins, counting my blessings one by one, and encouraging myself positively. I also engage in positive affirmations, telling myself that I can do it consistently.
Relaxing with friends
Furthermore, I avoid dwelling on failure and things beyond my control and meditate on the way forward with my goals and objectives.
I once failed a course and was pained about it. I nearly slipped into depression because almost all my friends excelled in the same course.
At some point, I looked at myself in the mirror and spoke to myself, reminding myself of my past victories that this one too shall pass. Intentional meditation, reflection, and affirmation assisted me out of that challenge, building a better version of myself. I remained in that positive mindset and made it on the re-sitting.
Intentionally Staying Positive and Happy
Therefore, when life turns tough, I put on resilience, deep reflection, reaching out to great friends for a happy time, playing country and gospel music, and staying positive, knowing that after the darkness comes the light and that, most importantly, I will smile again.
