What is the happiness factor?  The happiness factor is you.  Most people believe that external things will make them happy.  Most of these external things will make you happy, but only for a short period of time.  Of course, if you bought a new car, an expensive watch, a nice home, this will create happiness.  The question is, once you have become acquainted with these things will your level of happiness be the same.  So what is happiness and how can one be happy?   

The definition of the word happy is as follows: “Enjoying, showing or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy.”  Happiness is a feeling that exists inside whether you use it or not.  Can one be happy all the time?  Yes, if one appreciates the things in life they do to experience happiness.  Happiness is a learned activity and therefore begins with your thoughts, which lead to feelings of happiness. 

Are you producing thoughts of being happy?  Most people think external things produce happiness but being happy is a result of internal communication.  There are many things you can do to produce happy thoughts.  Engaging in these activities will assist in programming your mind to believe that you deserve to be happy.  The memories of that experience you have will start to create a long-term effect in your life. 

Happiness is an activity, so here is a list of tips that you can use to produce thoughts of happiness.

1.      Be thankful and grateful for what you are and becoming.

2.      Affirmations

3.      Playing sports, if you do play sports play the sport for fun instead of competition.

4.      Show feelings of love to the people in your life.  Showing and receiving love produces happiness.

5.      Being in sunlight put you in a mood of happiness.

6.      Exercise will allow you to reduce stress but also allow you to have better thoughts.

7.      Living in the present- paying attention and focus on what you are happy and excited about now.  Doing this is one of the ways to experience true lasting happiness in your life.

I mentioned affirmations.  Affirmations are great to assist in producing beliefs that will direct your actions on which you desire in life. 

Here are a few affirmations on happiness:

1. “I choose to feel happy, therefore I am happy!”
2. “I am the creator of my happiness.  What I think and feel, so shall I be.”
3. “I am overflowing with joy over each and every one of my accomplishments.”
4. “I love to succeed. It makes me happy.”
5. “I am happy to share the tools for my success with others.”
6. “I am aware that my success and happiness is a direct result of my positive thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.”
7. “I am happy for others when they succeed.  We are all one, and another’s success is mine as well.”

Once we begin to understand that our thoughts make us happy and not external toys.  This will become a breakthrough for us. This observation, in my opinion, will add more years to our life on earth.  Also doing this will give us an edge on life as well. 

What we want to do is learn to influence ourselves to experience the feelings of happiness. By influencing our thoughts, beliefs, and actions we will experience happiness more consistently.  By practicing this everyday we will start to set higher levels of happiness in our life. 

Remember, practice makes improvement.  So start to practice to be happier in your life.
