If you at times feel stressed out and overwhelmed, you are not alone. “Stress is the dirty secret of success: as life gets better than ever, people are feeling worse.”
Daily life can be made happier. It is a matter of choice. It is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy. It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive to happiness. We can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events, and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and instead, relish the happy moments. All of us constantly go through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.
These suggestions to move to a healthy level of stress include both short-term lifestyle changes as well as longer-term goals:

This can be a kind word, helping your colleagues, stopping your car at the crossroad to let people cross, giving your seat in a bus to someone else, or giving a small present to someone you love. The possibilities are infinite. When you make someone happy, you become happy, and then people try to make you happy.
- change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side. The mind may drag you to think about negativity and difficulties. Don't let it. Look at the good and positive side of every situation.
- Think of solutions, not problems.
- Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.
- Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.
- Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.
- Watch your thoughts. Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant things.
- Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't. Sometimes you may begin the day with the desire to accomplish several objectives. At the end of the day you might feel frustrated and unhappy, because you haven't been able to do all of those things. Look at what you have done, not at what you have not been able to do. You may have accomplished a lot during the day, and yet you let yourself become frustrated, because of some small things that you did not accomplish. You have spent all day successfully carrying out many plans, and instead of feeling happy and satisfied, you look at what was not accomplished and feel unhappy. It is unfair toward yourself.
- Each day do something good for yourself. It can be something small, such buying a book, eating something you love, watching your favorite program on TV, going to a movie, or just having a stroll on the beach.
- Smile more often.
- Associate with happy people, and try to learn from them to be happy. And always Remember, happiness is contagious.
