3 Habits of Happy People




spiritual happiness
There is no universal recipe for happiness, unfortunately, but there are certain things that can increase our chances to be happy and they do not necessarily involve money.
Positive thinking counts enormously. You can train your mind to see the full side of the glass just as you train your muscles in the gym. People who tend to give in to despair, melancholy or pessimism should learn from optimistic and happy people and even "steal" some of their healthy habits:
1. Being grateful - Happy people are always aware of the reasons that make them happy and they show gratitude for the good and beautiful things in their lives.
2. Having healthy social relationships - Happy people do not necessarily have a lot of friends, but a couple of very good friends. There is no need to emphasize friendship and confuse it with social obligations or needs. For the happy people, what matters is the quality of the friendships, not the number of friends. This aspect is good to be kept in mind, especially now, when most people chase illusory friendships on social networks, based on tons of likes and shares that actually mean nothing.
3. Being independent and having hobbies - Happiness comes from us and we have to find it within ourselves instead of expecting others to bring it to us. Our independence (financial and emotional) makes us the masters of our own lives, so we have to do anything in our power to reach it and keep it. Also, hobbies make us happy because they are the things we like to do and which are often creative and full of motivation.
If you are finding yourself unable to feel happy or at peace with your life or marriage, consider seeking Christian marriage counseling in Littleton CO to help you find the happiness you deserve.

  It is perfectly normal to feel nervous or emotional in some social situations. When we go to a first date or make a presentation in front of many people, we usually feel that unpleasant sensation of "butterflies in the stomach".

These people get to do all sorts of things and look for all kinds of excuses to avoid social situations. Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health problem that involves anxiety and an irrational fear of situations and activities where certain individuals think that they are noticed, evaluated and/ or judged by others.
