Our mind and thoughts are what creates us as a person. Our wealth, self-esteem, social status and everything that surrounds us directly depends on our thinking. But our thoughts are directly influenced by many factors: parents, close people, educational institutions, television and the press ... Every day we accept something for ourselves as truth and guidance to action, and reject something and consider it harmful for ourselves. From all this diverse flow of ideas, we build walls for ourselves, create rules. We drive ourselves into the framework of the system's standards and imposed patterns so much that we do not notice how we spew out streams of negative energy and block the flow of positive energy, destroying our own happiness.

You can take my words as you like. You can just scroll on and continue to complain about life, doing nothing at the same time, and imperceptibly continuing to worsen your life. Or you can listen, find something useful in them and start living in a new way: your problems will bypass you or be solved quickly and easily, the financial situation will improve, and in general, the grass will become greener.

So, here are a dozen rules that should be followed to make your life happier:

1. Meet everyone with a smile
The more negative the perception of the problem that has come, the more difficult it will be to solve it. Being sad and offended will not help, but on the contrary, it will take away the strength and energy you need to solve the problem. The worst thing is to get drunk with grief, so as not to think about difficulties. As a result: a headache in the morning, bad breath, and the problem is not solved.

Make it a rule to smile at every problem or difficult task, no matter how stupid it looks. Let it be difficult at first, but over time you will notice how with such a positive approach you will strain less and less, and great ideas for solving problems will come to your mind faster and easier. And a positive person will get help from the outside world faster than a gloomy, offended or angry one.

2. Get rid of bad thoughts
The more negative there is in our thoughts, the more it is around us. A negative thought has an energy impulse that is 2 times stronger than a positive one.

Therefore, you need to learn to notice every negative thought and immediately stop it, no matter how much you still want to feel sorry for yourself or take offense at someone/ something. It is quite difficult to rebuild your habitual thinking, and at the very beginning it will be simply unbearable. But soon you will notice how the grayness and darkness gradually leave your head, and instead you are filled with harmony and happiness.

3. Get your health in order
A sick person is not interested in anything and does not want anything, he needs at least not to hurt. And even if nothing hurts much, the sick person has little energy and strength.

Health is the basis of long-term happiness. A healthy person solves problems much easier, his mind is freer and more transparent. A healthy person is energetic, he freely and effectively implements his decisions. A healthy person lives with pleasure. Be healthy!

4. Don't be afraid of mistakes
We are all people, we all make mistakes, and if you say that this is not about you, no one will believe you. You can regret your mistakes, be sad, blame yourself and others, driving yourself into an even deeper pit of problems. And you can treat them as a learning process. Take mistakes as a lesson given to you so that you can learn to control yourself and the course of events happening around you. Then after each mistake you will learn something new, become stronger, wiser and more successful. And, therefore, happier.

5. Never demand more, do not whine about the fact that you do not have something yet
Thank the universe every morning (yes, it is the universe!) for what you already have. Many do not have this either, so you should not complain.

Besides, if you don't have something now, it doesn't mean that you never will. As we have already seen above, if you have a negative attitude to what is happening, then life will continue to deteriorate. But with a positive attitude, life will gradually become easier and better. Therefore, you need to want more, you need
to strive for it, you need to create it. But do it with gratitude to what you already have, to the universe and to yourself.

6. Never think that the money will come just like that
Do not hope that you will find a certain amount, whether it is 1000 or 100000. Money doesn't go to the lazy, get up and go act!

You can attract money in the following way: imagine that 20% has been added to your salary. Every day think about what you would spend this amount on, and it does not matter what it will be, the main thing is to set yourself up to think that you can get this money for your work and enjoy future opportunities. But at the same time, you still need to do something, work, change.

7. No desire to go to work?
There is a way out — you need to change your workplace. If you have an idea not to go to work, then most likely you have a negative attitude towards the team or the work itself. Thus, we return to the negative thoughts from point # 2, and we do not need it.

You either need to reconsider your attitude to your current job, finding enough positive aspects in it to make it pleasant for you to do it. Or just find another job you like.

8. Rest should be active
You can't earn all the money, which is why you definitely need to rest. And with a change of occupation and with active physical activity. Not alone sitting on the couch with a beer, but in the company of close friends on the street. Go in for sports, ride a bike, travel. In general - only an asset!

9. Make time for your hobby
Sometimes we forget about what we like to do the most. Not paying attention to our favorite activity, we bury ourselves in the routine even more, life becomes boring and not interesting.

You need to develop yourself and not look at the clock when you are absorbed in your hobby. Do something that brings pleasure. It is when doing something pleasant that the most brilliant thoughts in other areas come!

10. Get creative
Don't say, "I can't, there's no talent." All the popular artists also had such doubts, but they just believed that they would succeed, that they could become popular. Feel free to take up poetry, drawing, learn to play a musical instrument. Who knows, maybe you will eventually become a great poet, artist, musician. And even if you don't, you will definitely get a lot of fun and discover your creativity.

11. Do good to others, share joy with people
The more positive people around you will receive from you, the stronger the return and support from them will be. It is not so important how it will manifest itself, whether it is a kiss to a loved one in the morning or helping a homeless person, a gift of a flower from a flower bed or an expensive piece of jewelry. The very ability to share with other people and the desire to bring them joy and happiness is important. If you give with a pure heart, then what you have will come back to you a hundredfold.

12. Dream!
Many people are afraid to dream. Like, why want something, invent something, if everything is bad anyway. And if it doesn't work out, then the sensations will be even worse…

But without dreaming about our future, we have no idea how we want to see it, which means we cannot create what we want.…

Dream on! Imagine your happy future. Be imbued with this approaching joy, be filled with future happiness. Notice any positive changes in your life.

Great achievements begin with a small dream. Free your imagination from the shackles of fear, learn to see the beautiful and interesting in the little things. When was the last time you looked at clouds and wondered what they looked like? By the way, you can do this right now!
