A person seeks happiness all his life. Many say I want become happier"but that happiness is in us. Most are waiting and dreaming to meet someone who makes them happy. But as it turned out, no one can make a person happy until he wants it. In this article I would like to share the secrets of happy people and the basic rules of life, which can be implemented by any person.An attempt to use them is not worth any effort, but the result in the form of such a long-awaited happiness will not keep you waiting.
1. Try to smile more, laugh, laugh, learn not to hold back positive emotions
Laughter - the best cure for all ills. Sometimes laughter can take any serious and funny case to a completely different level of perception. Self-irony is a powerful weapon and a great way to get out of conflict situations. Remember children, in many situations, having fallen into puddles, having worn in the mud, even having struck hard, they find something funny, shake off and continue to move forward.
Laughter helps to overcome even physical pain, whereas tears and self-pity only make it worse. In the hottest disputes, a successful joke or a witty funny remark helps to defuse a heated situation. According to statistics, Russia and Ukraine are among the most unhappy countries in the world.
But you look at the expression on the face of our fellow citizens. As often on the street, in public places and transport, in the service sector, we are faced with gloomy, disgruntled persons. Why do we have enough strength and energy to splash out negative emotions - the same rudeness, remarks, disgruntled statements - and not enough strength for elementary politeness, a smile, instead of a rude word, a joking remark instead of a disgruntled grunt.
After all, the result will be completely opposite. Good always attracts positive, and negative encourages even more negative emotions. Even in the fight against rudeness, happy people disarm their counterparts with a calm and positive reaction, something that the other person does not expect from you.
If you start to smile in public places and on the street is difficult for you, start this activity from home, start the day with a smile to yourself, family and friends. On the street, try to fill yourself with an internal smile, it will gradually turn into an external one.
You yourself will not even notice how it will become commonplace. Recall the song of Little Raccoon - a smile always comes back. Happy people know how to notice funny. If funny, do not hold back emotions, laugh from the heart. Laugh to tears, release yourself. Laughter is a great source of endorphins.
2. Happy people walk at a wide pace and don’t hide their eyes.
Remember, psychologists have proven that confident and successful people have a special gait. Success very closely accompanies harmony, inner peace and happiness of a person. A happy man does not slouch, he looks forward and holds his posture, his head is slightly raised.
Confident and joyful people do not look at their feet, do not make shoes and do not slouch, they look widely around and directly into the eyes of the interlocutor, therefore they notice a lot. And walk in strides. Try not to mince with a fine gait, but to widen a step; it is easy to go, as if floating above the ground, and you will feel completely different.

12. Happy people know how to cope with failures and quickly move away from them.
A happy person perceives any obstacle or mistake as a challenge, and any failure as an experience from which appropriate conclusions are drawn. Such people have learned not to reproach and scold themselves in difficult situations, but on the contrary, to strive to find an excuse for themselves, comfort. It didn’t work today - it’s tomorrow, there’sn’t enough knowledge, experience, time — all of this can be fixed. This is just a chance to become smarter, faster, learn new things.
