Hidden Things The Happiest People Won’t Let Other Know, But Here I Am To Expose Thier Secret

Look. Here’s what happy

people do (but don’t

talk about).

× They Practice

Gratitude.

I’m a gratitude convert

who used to think that

keeping track of things

to be thankful for was

a stupid and contrived

idea. Because, check it

out: I was too unhappy

to make my way to

grateful. Then, during a

very dark time, I

agreed to try a daily

gratitude list as a way

to dig out of it, and it

worked.

Almost three years

later focusing on the

good things that I

always have, no matter

what may be going

wrong, helps to keep

my perspective clear

and my attitude at

least partially positive.

Research backs up that

whether it’s expressed

just to ourselves for

what we have or to

others for what they

bring to our lives,

gratitude makes us

happier.

× They Enjoy Their

Own Company.

Strong social ties are

key to good feelings,

but a truly happy

person can be

comfortable on her

own, too. Solitude and

down time is a good

chance to relax, do the

things we like to do

alone, and build up

energy to go back out

and deal with the world

and its people again.

Alone in healthy doses

doesn’t have to mean

lonely, and if I’m

happy on my own and

comfortable with

myself, I really can be

happy anytime.

× They Make Time

for Fun.

One of my friends

recently carved out

time to ride horses

again. Another friend

dedicated time and

resources to follow her

favorite musical artist

on tour for a few

months this year, and

another transports

rescued dogs to their

new homes. Fun and

joy are the bottom line

in each of these

activities, and the

happiness is following.

Work is obviously

necessary to life, but

the happiest people I

know regularly plan

and do things just for

fun and fulfillment .

They make time for

hobbies and vocations

on their own or with

family and friends, and

take the time to

nurture relationships

away from professional

obligations and chores.#

× They Make Sure

to Get Enough Sleep.

Sleep is a non-

negotiable human need

that too many humans

try to negotiate. The

average adult needs

seven to nine hours of

sleep each night for

health, performance,

and safety in daily

activities. Lack of sleep

can disturb moods, sex

drive, memory , weight,

and cardiac and

vascular conditions,

among other things

that are intrinsic to

health and basic

happiness.

It makes sense that

rested people are

happier people, or at

least they’re not as

edgy as anyone fresh

from an all-nighter and

way too much caffeine.

× They’re Honest

and Tell the Truth.

Lying may provide

some short-term

reward, but it’s a

complicated and

inauthentic (and

uncool, let’s be honest)

way to live on a

regular basis. Even the

most honest people

can lapse from time to

time, but a life that

includes regular

dishonesty breeds

stress, the fear of

being found out, and

the need to keep

complicated stories

straight as lies

inevitably compound.

Honest people benefit

from the happiness

Related Post

that comes from being

real no matter what,

and happier, stronger

relationships based on

trust and open

communication — a

way better approach

than a string of shady

stories.

× They Practice

Forgiveness.

Grudges are exhausting

and depressing no

matter the cause, and

moving past them

makes wonderful space

for freedom and

happiness. It isn’t

always easy to forgive,

and it doesn’t always

mean liking the

circumstances of how

we were treated. But if

there’s a way to do it

— on your own or with

help from other caring

people — it can help to

leave old hurtful

situations behind and

open you up to writing

a new, happier story.

× They Enjoy Their

Work.

Adults tend to spend a

lot of time working.

Think of the people you

know who really enjoy

what they do. Their

work likely involves

personal strengths and

interests, a good

indicator of what works

for the happiest people.

The people who are

most miserable at work

may talk about it more

often, and they need to

get that out.

But I really love talking

to people who are

happy with their

careers. It tends to

spill over into a

happier life. Makes

sense.

× They Help Others.

Ever notice that those

tearjerker Facebook

videos that you just

“have to watch right

now” usually involve

someone doing

something nice for

someone else? Some of

the happiest people are

focused on helping

others. As early as

the toddler years,

giving and helping are

found to increase

happiness in the giver

as well as the getter.

Helping others is a

self-esteem booster; it

just feels good to do

good. And when the

focus is on helping

someone else, it’s hard

to focus on the things

that may be bringing

us down. Double win.

× They Believe in

Something.

The happiest people

often have meaning in

their lives from a

larger purpose than the

daily grind. Whether

it’s a traditional

religious practice or a

more general spiritual

framework for life, time

spent in nature, or

service to a cause,

people with a purpose

tend to be happier.

An organization, a

faith, or a belief

system can provide a

support system for a

person in stressful

times, a daily structure

for living, and a

broader idea of the

purpose of life and her

place in it

× They Have Good,

Healthy

Relationships.

Research shows time

and time again that

strong personal

relationships are a key

to happiness — more

than income, race, age,

or gender. The happiest

people have people in

their lives — partners,

children, friends,

colleagues, and

extended family — who

consistently provide

mutual support,

companionship, and

social activities.

They can avoid

loneliness and

isolation, and have

opportunities for

connection and service

on a regular basis.

Happy people like to

hang with happy

people, and they can

make each other even

happier. It would be

gross if it weren’t so

awesome.

And that’s all

    • All you have said or written is actually very true. Because happy people don't struggle too much to be happy. The simple things in life are what make us or keep us happy. Most of us struggle with practically everything, we never take the time to enjoy the simple things in life. We tend to think that when we struggle we will be more happy and relaxed. But that's not true. Taking time to rest from your everyday work or routine is very important. Then we also need to take time to do what we love to do, that will bring fulfilment in our lives and also cause us to be happy. We can make so much out of that. This is something that i have experienced myself. Whenever I do stuff that i like I am always happy and i can work for hours and not get bored. So i actually agree with you on this topic makes all is sense for real.
