10 Things That Happy People Do

Happiness is not a destination but a journey and if you have ever looked at someone who is so happy and wondered what they are doing right – don’t wonder for too long! Here are 10 habits that happy people who are emotionally strong inculcate that helps them to stay the way there.

1.The Art of Gratitude

Being thankful for what you have is almost like practising an art! This is something that those with good emotional strength do because how can you stay happy if you are not cherishing the things that you do currently have?

2.They understand the power of the “Self”

Being accountable for your own actions and not transferring blame or responsibility on someone else, helps people stay strong and happy. Those who are happy understand this very well and have a huge amount of accountability on themselves!

3.They have clear boundaries

Defining your personal boundaries is almost like giving other people guidelines as to how to treat you. This will help avoid any frustration or anger that you might harbour towards other people because if you tell them exactly how to treat you, the chances of them going wrong are lesser!

4.Being comfortable with the past

Happy people are those who have learnt to make peace with their past. Constantly dwelling on what happened is only going to keep pulling you from what happiness that life has to offer for you!

 

5.They deal with failure

Emotionally strong people don’t let failure pull them down. In fact, they view failure and mistakes as opportunities to grow stronger and come back with an inclination to perform better.

6.They accept when they are wrong

Not accepting when you make a mistake can put a lot of pressure on you and accepting it in fact is a very healthy habit to practise that is vital for your own happiness!

7.They understand that emotional energy is limited

Happy people are careful where they spend their emotional energy because they understand it is limited. Instead of wasting it on pointless arguments and things that drain them, they only choose to do so when it is truly important.

8.They don’t over-think

Are you someone who imagines at least a hundred different possibilities to every situation? This might just be the habit that is keeping you from your happiness! While it is important to plan well, over-thinking is a definite happiness jeopardiser.hey are optimistic

9.They are optimistic

Optimism and having faith that good things will happen, define happy people – constantly thinking negative thoughts can pull you down and make you feel worse and imagine possibilities that probably only occur in your imagination.

 

10.They are comfortable being alone

Learning to be alone is a huge part of embracing happiness – people who constantly don’t depend on other people to validate, entertain or look out for them are much happier and stronger!
