I think of myself as a very positive and happy person but I am also an overthinker.

Often there needs to be calm discussions to sort out issues that upset each other. We can’t alter our behaviour if we don’t know we may be doing the wrong thing that upsets somebody else. Compromise is often needed. Something that irritates can become a huge emotional issue for some people.

Yep, I always say people that bully are just insecure, pathetic and sad.

I think we all do this but moderation is key. While it is okay to feel hard done by its important to remember what you have and to focus on your goals not those around you who are seemingly doing better

great article, too much misery and sadness lately

Great reminder!

We all need a little happiness

The only thing I do wrong is live in the past as I’m really bad at getting over the death of a close person- family and friends- more so when it’s an accident and I never got to say goodbye. 🙁

Happy people are calm and have always a smile to others, making other people happy too.

I love this post 😀 As I said on another post recently, I get up in the morning and write down one positive thing about my life and it has changed my world. I also now try very hard to live by the adage “if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all’. With people I have had personal conflict with, I go out of my way to try and think of and say something nice about them. A few small things makes for a much happier, healthier life

  Such words of wisdom 🙂 Might have to add those to my list. Thank you for sharing!

Funnily enough, I’ve made a few changes and I’m feeling fairly happy of late, even though I do a few of those things listed above. I have found that doing less, but more of the relaxing things that I really love (and often feel guilty for doing) has made me really happy. Working less. Reading a book in the middle of the day because I can. Having time to prepare meals rather than rush something. These have all made me happier.

I am thinking after reading this list, there must be a lot of unhappy folk around. 🙁

Love this article. Great reminder on what to do (or what not to do) to stay on a positive and happy path.

A great read & great reminder to us all.

They are all so true and I already practice nearly all of them.. Nearly.. Lol

Think happy people also don’t hold on to grudges or bitterness and are willing to forgive.

And they don’t cry – have no need to! Thanks for sharing these tips.

Oh wow i need to improve myself. So many changes to make!

I am going to discuss this with my kids (8 and 6) – the first 3 I think they need to consider, the rest I think they are oK with already!

Great points they are so true I think we must all strive to do at least some of them!
