How to become happy??

Most of the people keep wondering about some people who always seem to be happy. Ever tried to be friends with them or know them better?
Well, I did. Most of the time I found they are just showing off that they are happy but inside they are all tense and worried and under pressure to maitain that false happy personality. But some  people are there who are genuinely happy. It seems like nothing is bothering them. How are these people stay happy?

Some people say money brings happiness, some even say that, 'Who ever thinks that money can not buy happiness does not know where to go shopping.'

One definition of happiness which I found usefull is, happiness is the state of mind where the positive thoughts dominate the negative thoughts over a much greater margine.

So the happiness is not connected to the materialistic possessions. These possessions may bring some happiness but not for long time. Quickly there charm fades away or we get used to them and the happiness because of them fades too.

I am a follower of lean system so I always keep on doing experiments so check out the things first hand (We will discuss the lean system some other time). So during some experiements I found that good health also has connection with happiness. If our health is good we stay positive towards the things happening around us. But if we are not at good health, sleep deprived, tired or ill then we start thinking negatively. We start complaining, nagging, irritating others etc.

The experiment I have suggested to friends is, take atleast 50gm of protein extra in a daily diet for a day, mostly during the dinner. (You can check out the protein content of food items on net and then eat what you like with the most protein content). For those who have no problem in gulping down raw chicken eggs, gulping down 10 raw eggs half an hour before the dinner works very well (Raw eggs are easy to digest than boiled or cooked). Then on the next day observe the difference in the positive or negative nature of the thoughts. You will find great difference, You will find yourself energetic, confident and full of positive attitude all day. You will take up any challenges thrown at you or just charge on the problems to solve them for ever (which you previously just used to avoid or neglect their existance). You day will be full of achievements and happiness.

This happens because the extra proteins heal up ur body in the night more than usual. So the next day you woke up healthier than normal. Hence the difference in attitude.

The purpose behind this experiment is to experience the happiness firsthand and to understand that happiness is not dependent on external things.

Once you understand this then whenever you will feel low or unhappy you will quickly think that 'My body and brain needs rest and nutrition, that is why I am feeling like this.' You won't blame external things. And doing this consiously again and again when you feel low and unhappy will become your habit. Which will result in a permanent change of attitude. This change of attitude is the base for further nurturing the happiness in your life.

Happiness is a habit and not any external phenomenon that happens to us. We can choose to be happy in simple ways.

Just try it out for a week and tell me your experience.

Of course this is not all about happiness. There are other aspects of happiness which we will discuss soon. Till then keep working on this new habit of happiness and enjoy.
