1.
Be comfortable in your own skin.
The first step to becoming happy is to feel comfortable in your own skin. Everyone was born with a flaw. No one is perfect. Accept yourself with what you’re born with whether it be your background, your skin, your nose, your eyes, your hair, your freckles, your breast, or the size of your private part. You have to accept yourself for who you are and love yourself.
2. Appreciate what you have and never compare yourself with others.
You will never be truly happy if you keep looking outside and wish you have what you don’t. The grass always seems to be greener on the other side but that does not mean it’s actually greener. If you keep wishing, hoping, expecting for something else and don’t feel happy with what you already have, you will always feel miserable and feel like something is missing in your life

3. Believe a Positive Attitude is a Choice
This
step was hard to take at first. I thought that people were either positive
or negative (and I was in the latter category). I used to blame my negativity
on all kinds of outside forces—fate, experiences, parents, relationships—but never
really stopped to think that I could choose to
be positive.
4. Rid Your Life of Negativity
If
you want to live a positive, joyful life, you cannot be surrounded by negative
people who don’t encourage your happiness.
As
a negative person, I attracted negative people. When I decided to make the
change to live a more positive life, I had to rid my life of the most negative
influences in it. No one is perfect—and perfection isn’t the goal when it comes
to positivity—but there were people in my life who were consistently negative,
who constantly brought me down, and I had to stop spending so much time with
them.
5. Look For the Positive in Life
In
every person, in every situation, there is something good. Most of the time
it’s not obvious. We have to look. And sometimes we have to look hard.
The
old me was content to sit back and just glance around. If I saw negative, I
went with that feeling. I didn’t want to look harder or think too much about
the good. I found it much, much easier to sit back and just accept what I saw
(which was usually the bad).
6.Share Positivity with Others
Not
only do you need to be positive with yourself for this training to really take
effect, but you need to be positive with others. You have to share your wealth
of positivity with the world.
The
best way I’ve found to do this is quite simple and basic: Be nice to other
people, no matter what. Tell someone s/he looks nice today. Tell someone s/he
did a great job on that presentation.
