There comes a time where realization hits us hard where we know we are not happy with the life we are living. Here are some tips how to be a happier person and enjoy even the simple things in life.
1. Treat yourself
Sometimes rather than being disappointed with yourself because you fail to do something that you were aiming, praise yourself more on the effort you made. This is because deep inside you know you have tried your best. It does make you happy once you acknowledge what you have actually achieved. Celebrate your achievement by pampering your own self such as going to the spa, party with your friends or even indulging a big delicious breakfast.
2. Think positive
Start each day with a grateful heart. Change your thoughts by having a positive mind. A positive mind can affect your daily life and how you see things. Train your mind to see the good in everything.
