ARE WE HAPPY?????

HAPPINESS~ a state of mind.... being content and .... well, just satisfied and full of smiles :) What brings me to this topic today? i saw an article this morning and it lists 10 sure ways to be happy. i looked thru all 10 and i can safely say ... I guess i am happy! :)
Let's go thru all the 10 and see if u are happy too!
1. Lighten up about $$$ ~ i don't have all that much money but i don't worry too much about it. extra cash would be great but i don't sit and think that much over it! i hear of everyday people who have millions ( honest!!) but i know i won't achieve that. So let's move on la! :)
2. Talk yourself happy ~ in other words, discard all negative thoughts ..... think & talk happy :) we are what we think! so yeah , no point mulling over the GRRRRR stuff
3. Act happy ~ almost the same as no.3 , except u just don't think happy thoughts, u have to act happy too. i guess that might mean u have to walk around with a perpetual smile on your face and look pretty loony! i can do that :) starting NOW! :)
4. Don't get nostalgic ~ i do get into that sometimes and realise that it does no good for the ego. if u think of past happier times , it makes u want them back. if u think of the bad ones, it makes u
:( It says in the survey that if u make comparisons with people who are worse off than u , then u will feel better about yourself. In other words, count your blessings :)
5.Regular exercise ~ that's the ONE for me! I have been called the fitness freak but honestly it really does wonders for me! i can vouch for it ~ when i feel :( or moody , a good workout cures that :) I love exercise and look forward to that everyday! Call me weird!
6. Get organised ~ we are suppose to prioritise but not get into a control freak regime that follows schedules right to the T! i don't know where i stand in this one...i am not a very ogranised person, in fact i am the biggest procrastinator ever!! but , hey 9 out of 10 isn't bad! I have not reached the end yet tho! ;)
7. Do things you really enjoy ~ oh yeah, i have more than enough time to do all that !!! I enjoy my PC time, i love my workouts, i look forward to my dance classes.... i go crazy over food .... enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D
8. Stay close to your friends ~ oh yes yes yes , how much closer can we get ... MSN is just a click away..even tho they are miles away in another end of the planet! And my friends include my family too ... my kiddies ( who are no longer kiddies actually!) my mum ( the PC savviest grandma around!) and brother ( the PC expert) Everyone is just a click away!
9. Make the most of your job~ My mini part time one is sheer pleasure for me too! It is not about the money ~ it only gives me peanuts but i love it! hey i am not sounding too perky in here am i???? Sorry la!
10. Believe in something ~ and they don't just mean religion. Hopefully we all believe in God. i know i do !!! I turn to Him every night and pray :) and sometimes fall asleep in the middle of a longer prayer ( Come on, admit it , we all do that!) But besides religion , i think u have to believe in yourself and that u are worth a lot more than anyone else thinks!!!
So there! i can deduce from this little article i read that I AM HAPPY :)
What about u??? Hey even 8 out of 10 isn't bad!
Be Happy !!!
E-happy ..... heheheheheh!
