Taking joy from the simple pleasures in life is definitely the way forward for m

e. There is so much to be thankful for. One thing I love is walking every night,
absorbing the fresh air, and the scenery. It's pure bliss for me.

So how about you?
Do you know what feeds your soul or and makes your happy?
Do you find it hard time to take time out from the hustle and bustle of everyday
life to think about it?
I suggest that we make happiness the ultimate goal in our life. That we build e
very day, every relationship and everything around this goal "Happiness."

Enough big picture stuff, let’s get to the specific.
Tip 1: Set Goals
Research shows that the pursuit of goals that are concordant with your values ca
n produce significant increases in your sense of well-being. Interestingly, the
data show that achieving goals (or failing to do so) doesn’t seem to matter so m
uch. There is something about having a focus on something important that helps u
s get more out of each present moment.
Tip 2: Seek Flow
The magic state for increasing well-being is to be neither bored nor overwhelmed
. This means you should seek challenges that exactly meet or slightly surpass yo
ur current abilities. For college students, in particular, this translates to fi
nding that perfect course load that pushes you intellectually without overwhelmi
ng you with more work than you can easily manage.
Tip 3: Simplify Your Life
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify...Psychologist Time Kasser has shown time affluenc
e consistently predicted a wheather or not a client had a sence of well-being w
hereas material influence does not. For the uninitiated: Time affluence is “the
feeling that one has sufficient time to pursue activities that are personally me
aningful, smelling the roses, time to reflect, and to engage in leisure.” In oth
er words, under-schedule what you have to do so you have plenty of time to deal
with what you WANT to do at the moment.This means resisting the urge to fill up
all of your free time with friends and activies that aren t persoanlly meaningf
ul. Instead, purposefully under-schedule, and then use the excess hours for fun
stuff that randomly pops up.
Tip #4: Focus on Happiness
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a h
eaven.” The practical translation: put in an effort to both seek out happiness-b
oosting experiences and learn to express gratitude for what you find. There will
always be crap lying around in your life. This will never go away. If you focus
on it, your world will become Emerson’s hell. The real trick is to learn how to
keep moving amidst this crap — acknowledging that its a part of life that spare
s no one — and continually seek out or construct experiences that make you happy
. Don’t just have these experiences, but also reflect on them later and show rea
l gratitude. Dr. Ben-Shahar points to compelling research that mindful reflectio
n on what you enjoyed during your day can significantly boost self-reported well
-being. A simple mantra is "I choose to be happy NOW." What we focus on grows, s
o focus on what s going well in your life.

Qurey?
This is, of course, just a hypothetical scenario. But the big ideas are concrete
:
Such as what you have to do; do daily so you don’t have do too much of it; get t
he most out of the free time that remains. Enjoy your life:)
It’s a simple way of life. Yes, some might say radically simple. But it’s worth
thinking about. Here are the key questions to ponder:
1.What changes are you willing to make in your life to make happiness your ultim
ate currency?
2.Are you willing to make daily twicks to make your life happier?
3.How would this impact your loved ones?
4.Does this impact matter?

I’m curious to hear the results of your ruminations…
