Thinking about Happiness brings one question to my mind, how many people are really happy? What can be really the measure of happiness? Some people i find are so very cheerful and happy it makes me ponder what could be the cause of their cheerful mind, i never see them in a sour mood. Some people are so very sad every time, it looks as if the whole world's burden is on their head.
Happiness to me is the state of my mind where i feel i have discovered the real me, a person who i recognise as being true to myself. I feel so very free so very away from the materialistic world. A person who loves to be cared and who loves to care!
When do i really feel happy. It doesn't take much for me to be in a cheerful mood. Just to be with someone who i really like, my parents and close friends. It just takes a phone call from my near and dear ones for me to become cheerful after a sour mood.
I have found out a new way of keeping myself cheerful and happy. When my mood becomes off and i start becoming irritated i just tell myself to calm down. When i feel let down by people around me, i tell myself to think about all those people who care for me, think about how they want to see me happy everytime. I tell myself to just forget about the people who hurt me as their opinion and their words do not have much importance in my life. Why get worried and irritated for people who dont matter at all for us?
I should only bother about the opinion and words of people who really are important in my life and their words really hav a weightage in my life. Why should i bother about people who are not so important enough so that they could impact the way i think and make me think so much.
I being a very sensitive type of a person get hurt easily by people's words or actions. After interacting wid a person for some time, if i happen to like the person, i tend to get close to the person and if the other person does not react in a manner i expect him/her to be, i get hurt. So the best possible way for me to just b cheerful after an hurtful interaction is to just forget abt the people not so important. dont get too involved with people so very soon.
Now there are times when i get up in the morning and i just dont feel Ok. I just dont feel things are going the way i want them to be.I just hate that type of a mood early in the morning. the best way for me to get out of tht mood is to be calm and tell myself to just take it as another day. Tell yourself tht u r wanted by someone in this wirld who cares for you. Just tell yourself tht this is just a passing moment and you will feel nice again.
Silence for me is a best solution to keep off my sour mood. If my mood is not so good, or if i hav some personal reason to ponder over, or i feel somthing bothering me, i make it a point to remain silent for some time at least and talk wid someone i feel comfortable talking with. I become cheerful once again.
God has given me some nice people around whom i call my close friends. they are always there for me wen i feel let down. Calling anyone of them and speaking my heart out makes me feel so very light and takes awsy all the bitterness in my mind.
These are some of the ways i try to become happy and cheerful after a bout of sadness and sour mood. Hope so someone readingt his will try to implement this thing when in a sour mood. hope so it works out for you too!!
