Be Cheerful to feel happier and spread happiness

"Cheerfulness is what greases the axles of the world. Don't go through life creaking." H.W.Byles.

Cheerfulness is the quality or state of being noticeably happy and optimistic.

Why is it important to be cheerful?

Who would you like to be in the company of:
- a cheerful friend who is is bubbling with energy and enthusiasm as if he is the luckiest person alive or 
- a grumpy one who acts as if the world is going to end tomorrow and he won't be able to drive his favourite car which he hasn't even bought?

Who do you think would have a better immunity and ability to deal with challenges in life:
- someone who is cheerful and optimistic about life and future or
- or someone who always looks worried and anxious?

Who would you consider as more charismatic when you meet at conference or a public event:
- someone who is cheerful, smiling and meeting people warmly or
- someone who is cold, sheepish and frowning?

When it comes to assessing others we are quickly drawn towards cheerful, charismatic and positive personalities and this is the reason why we should also make every effort to be like one of them.

It will help us to to be more attractive, make friends easily, deal with any situation more effectively, and to be fit and strong. 

How to improve your cheerfulness?

First and easiest of all possible actions that we can take to be more cheerful is to learn to smile more often. A simple smile can trigger release of mood boosting neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin that can help you elevate your mood. 

Second initiative that we can take to be more cheerful is to appreciate and adopt humour in our life. You can simply learn to share funny moments and jokes to lighten any environment that you are in. You can also practice appreciating humour shared by others wholeheartedly. Humour and Laughter have the power to blow away the blues in your life, leaving you feeling lighter, happier and cheerful.

Third initiative that you can take is to add pleasure breaks to your daily routine. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy, goes a popular saying. By mixing fun in between helps to release the stress and anxiety that gets built up and comes out in the form of irritation and frustration at the end of the day. You can add 5 or 10 minute break every hour to listen to your favourite music, read or  listen to jokes, or just chit chat with your friend. This frequent recharging will prevent draining of your batteries and keep you cheerful throughout the day.

Wishing you more cheerfulness and happiness in your life.

Let's spread happiness together.

OPTIMISM is a Happiness Magnet. If you stay POSITIVE, Good things & Good people will be drawn to you. - Mary Lou Retton Optimism is hopefulness and confidence about the future or the success of something. It is a mental attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavor, or outcomes in general, will be positive, favorable, and desirable. Researchers have found that an optimistic worldview carries advantages such as Superior Health, Greater Achievement, Persistence, Emotional Health, Increased Longevity & Less Stress.  Pessimism, on the other hand, is much more common; pessimists are more likely to give up in the face of adversity or to suffer from depression. The good news is that you can learn & improve your optimism. Learned optimism is the idea in positive psychology that a talent for joy, like any other, can be cultivated. Seligman's process of learning optimism consists of a simple method to train a new way of responding to adversity.

Peace of Mind, a road to Happiness.

  When is the mind peaceful? When there is desire but not craving. When you have important goals but they are not making you restless. There are failures but you learn from them instead of regretting. When the journey towards your goal is as enjoyable as the feeling of accomplishment once you get there. When you are completely at ease with yourself and the place you are in, in your life. What takes away peace? Whenever we encounter negative emotions like jealousy, hatred, anger, etc. they take away our peace of mind instantly. An uncontrollable desire for something leaves feeling unhappy till we get it. Regret over the past leaves us feeling sad & Anxiety about the future leaves us feeling worried. We cannot experience peace in either case.

Grow happiness under your feet.

"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.", James Oppenheim. Assignments are boring, homework is such a waste of time, exams are absolutely needless, I wish my education is over soon and I don't have to deal with all this stuff. It would put an end to my miseries and I would finally be happy... often thought my foolish mind while traveling through, supposedly, the most amazing part of my life's journey, the schooling. Now when I look back and remember those beautiful days, I realize how wrong I was to wish it to be over soon. Happiness was there right under my feet. I could have had all the fun in my life, surrounded by joyful friends, loving teachers, and endless possibilities for a bright future.  And when I introspect about how I feel now about the present moment, I realize that I am repeating the foolishness all over again. I am working hard, trying to earn money and make my name, so that someday in the future
