The Top 10 Things To Ask Yourself and Do Regarding Your Happiness Level.
<br>
<br>
Happiness is a term with different meanings and levels, depending on who one asks. Nobody can expect to be totally happy or content all of the time, since some days are simply better days than others, due to
circumstances, how we feel physically, etc. But we can develop an *attitude* and dothings to make sure we have the best chance of having real satisfaction with
our life situation no matter what it is. The following questions can be asked, and suggestions are made to boost your everyday mood and to create a healthy attitude.
<br>
<br>
1. Do you like and accept yourself? 
<br>
Pretty basic, yet a big problem for many with self esteem and self worth problems. Accept yourself as you are, and do what you can to improve in areas you feel need some work. Avoid judgments of yourself and others. Give yourself room for mistakes and not being *perfect* in what you do and say. If it is a serious long standing problem, get professional help to deal with this issue.
<br>
<br>
2. Is it easy for you to make friends and get to know people? 
<br>
We all need friends and some sort of positive *support system.* The easier it is for you to make friends and to reach out to others, the greater your chances of a happier and more fulfilling life over time. While everyone needs some private time, isolating yourself or being reclusive is *not* healthy emotionally nor physically.
<br>
<br>
3. Are you just as happy when you see someone else enjoying success or getting attention as you are when it is you? 
<br>
The ability to be happy and enjoy other people's successes and seeing them in the spotlight shows we are secure and not envious or jealous of others. The more we appreciate and celebrate others' happiness and success, the greater our chances are of attracting success and positive things for ourselves!
<br>
<br>
4. Is your home 'warm' and do you invite friends to visit often? 
<br>
Again, having a group, even if small, of support people and friends is vital to a life that's full and complete. Other people give us love, companionship, laughter, a sense of connection to the Universe, and other good things. Being social and sociable is a sign that you are enjoying life, and it is healthy for everyone.
<br>
<br>
5. Are you married, or if not, do you feel no deep frustration overthis? 
<br>
Studies show that married people live longer than single people on average. There is nothing wrong with being single at all if that is your situation or your choice. The important thing is that whatever relationships you are in, especially the intimate, close types, that you feel goodabout your part in them, and you are not wrestling with any severe problems or concerns that remain unresolved or unacknowledged.
<br>
<br>
6. Do you see yourself as an attractive and friendly person? 
<br>
Attractive here means fun to be with, a good friend, kind, etc., and is not referring to physical appearance. Remember, you will tend to attract the types of people (and their personalities) as you present to others. Being friendly to people is simply that. You don't have to be friends with a stranger to say hello or excuse me or to open the door for them
going into a store. A friendly attitude and an attractive spirit and personality will create happiness for you and it will attract people who are
happy people into your life.
<br>
<br>
7. Do you feel that most people like you? 
<br>
Again, people who meet you or know you do not have to love you or think you are the greatest person alive. What is often an indication of how we feel about ourselves, as well as what we are projecting to others however, is obvious in how other people respond to us. If people avoid you, something is wrong somewhere. If they are friendly and smile and laugh and chat with you, that is a good sign you are sending out positive, accepting, *likeable* signals.
<br>
<br>
8. Do you make conversations easily without feeling anxious oruncomfortable? 
<br>
Assuming you are not interviewing for an important job, or talking with someone with whom you have had a negative past experience, if you feel confident and happy and satisfied with yourself and what you have to offer the world, talking with people in person will not be a problem. Again, you don't have to be very close to the person. It can even be a stranger waiting with you for the bus. It simply shows you are feeling good about yourself and are accepting and trusting the people with whom you meet.
<br>
<br>
9. Is it comfortable for you to be in the spotlight or to be the center of attention? 
<br>
If this is a *yes*, you are comfortable with who you are, how you look, and what you have to offer others. You have your opinions and skills to share or show or talk about, and you feel fine doing that. This is a sign of a secure and self assured person.
<br>
<br>
10. Do you have a good sense of humor, and particularly, are you able to laugh at yourself? 
<br>
A sense of humor is one of the things people say attracts them most to other people. It is vital to be able to laugh with others and also to be able to laugh at yourself when you make a silly error or trip on a
banana peel (assuming you don't break any bones!). Laughter is one of the most powerful tools we have as humans to pull ourselves from despair or anger into hope and forgiveness. It is a crucial tool to staying physically well, and enjoying our own life thoughout all of its ups and downs. Above all, learn to laugh and laugh at every chance you get. Life will be much
happier and you will weather it though the good times and the bad with equal grace if you develop and use your sense of humor in all areas of your life.

<br>
The Top 10 Tips on How To Have a Positive Attitude
<br>
<br>
1. Take ownership of your attitude.
<br>
We control our attitude. It is not something that is
genetically or environmentally determined. Each of us can decide what our attitude is going to be. We can choose to have a positive attitude about life. A ready smile is a gift to all those around you.
<br>
2. Take action to eliminate what bothers you.
<br>
You may be putting up with more things than you have realized. Think about what you are tolerating. You may be tolerating things, or ways that someone speaks to you, that you don't like. Just paying attention to
what you are tolerating will be the first step towards eliminating it. Tolerations infect your attitude.
<br>
3. Live in the present.
<br>
Let go of living in the past or in the future and enjoy the present.
<br>
4. Let go of things that don't matter.
<br>
Stop wasting energy on being irritated and annoyed at things that really don't matter.
<br>
5. Be non-judgmental.
<br>
Let go of being critical of others. Try instead to listen and understand. As you open yourself up to not judging others you will be able to accept yourself and others more.
<br>
6. Listen to yourself and trust what you hear.
<br>
Let go of other people's voices that you carry in your head. Instead, listen to yourself and take responsibility for what you can and want to do.
<br>
7. Live your values.
<br>
By living your life according to your values you will develop an attitude of true acceptance of yourself. You will realize that you are fine the way you are. You may choose to make some changes in your life simply because you realize that you have greater potential than you have utilized so far.
<br>
8. Have fun and enjoy humor.
<br>
Take delight in life and create fun experiences for yourself. Don't make life be too heavy.
<br>
9. Invest energy in the people who you love and care about.
<br>
Meaningful relationships are developed and sustained by
positive attitudes and commitment.
<br>
10. Develop an attitude of love.
<br>
By developing a loving attitude towards yourself you will in turn interact with others from a basis of love.
