There are rough times in every person s life. Everyone has problems of their own b
ut some people seem to handle their problems better than others. Different indiv
iduals react differently to stressful situations. Some tend to freak out when so
mething bad happens while others have stronger nerves and manage to stay calm. A
ttitude plays the biggest role when it comes to managing the rough moments in li
fe. If you want to learn more, here are 13 ways to become happy again.
1. Mahatma Gandhi says: If you want to change the world, start with yourself. Thes
e are some true words of wisdom. Remind yourself of that when you are feeling do
wn with how your life is unfolding. When you feel unsatisfied with the world aro
und you, just remember that you are a part of this world and if you wish it to b
e different, you will need to change something about yourself first. After all w
hat we see in the world is a reflection of ourselves. And if you are stressed, c
haotic and sad, you ll see the world the way you are. Be the change.
2. Refusing to accept the difficult situation you are in and not trying to chang
e it will only make you more miserable. Hard times are a part of life. The soone
r you understand and accept that, the easier you will get through the confusion
and stress that often occur when we are experiencing something bad. If you conti
nuously worry about the situation, the negative thoughts will continue to haunt
you.
3. Just because you want something so bad, doesn t mean that it is best for you. S
ometimes we won t get the things we want the most and most of the times that turns
out to be a good thing. The way your life unfolds will sometimes surprise you.
Everything happens as it is supposed to happen and being rejected for something
often times means that the Universe has something better for you. Have a little
faith and everything will be alright.
4. Your approach to life is everything. Many of us tend to create problems in ou
r minds that don t really exist. When you are going through a difficult time, thin
k of how this affects you and whether the situation is really as bad as you thin
k. When you train yourself to ask these questions, you may realize that the way
we look at things matters the most. If you trick yourself into thinking that a n
ormal situation is actually a big problem, you open your body to the negative em
otions, but if you really happen to be in a bad time of your life and accept and
honor it as a an opportunity to learn and grow, you will no longer see it as a
problem.
5. Live the moment. Appreciate each moment just as it is because you will never
have it back. Experience everything, don t just absently go through everyday activ
ities. Experience the fresh mornings, the smell of your morning coffee, the cozy
feeling of watching the rain pour, express your emotions, show your love, smell
the books you read, feel the sun on your skin. Appreciate every little thing of
your life because one day you re going to look back and realize that the little t
hings we actually not that small and insignificant.
6. Focus on the positive aspects of your life and make time for things that you
love doing. There are people who are so obsessed with the hardships they are exp
eriencing that they don t allow themselves to relax for a bit and have fun. They m
ay even have forgotten how to be happy. That way of thinking can cause some seri
ous harms to your health and your soul. So try giving yourself these moments of
peace and joy as often as you possibly can. Your soul will be thankful for that.
7. Acknowledge that the only thing that is standing in your way is yourself. Real
ize that you are only a victim of your own thoughts, actions and emotions. Stop
blaming anyone for the situation you are currently in. Take your life in your ha
nds and learn that if you wont to start fresh and change your life, you should f
irst change your thought, habits and mindset.
8. Recognize your fears. That is the first step to overcoming them. Exploring yo
ur fears helps you face them because you will already know what exactly you have
to be cautious about (be it your mindset, your body language, emotions). Overco
ming fears is not an easy job and often times it takes practice to master them.
One of the top three fears people have is the fear of speaking in public. If you
look at the situation (speaking in front of public) clearly, you will see that
the viewers aren t scary, it is just that the person who is speaking has a differe
nt vision in his head about them and about themself, too. It s important to remind
yourself that fear is forged inside your mind and it s not impossible to beat it.
9. Failing is a way to learn. If nobody ever failed, the world wouldn t be the way
it is right now. Some people learn best through failure. We should stop viewing
failure as a bad thing because it does not mean that we are unsuccessful when w
e fail. It means that we are still searching for ways to reach our success. The
path to it isn t easy and by overcoming the obstacles, we learn new skills and see
which ways don t work and which-do.
10. Be grateful for what
t you don t have because
gratitude every day and
ugh and you will feel at
you already have. Don t concentrate your attention on wha

you will never have everything. Train yourself to express
you will soon realize that what you have already is eno
peace with yourself.
11. If you are feeling sad, just know that this is not going to last forever. No
thing does. This too shall pass. When you feel stuck, think of that as a normal
phase that every person goes through. Evaluate your situation, experience it, do
n t fight it too much. It is better to express your feelings, even the sad ones, r
ather than to suppress them. In that way, when you are done being sad, you will
see the world with a clearer vision.
12. Don t let jealousy make you a bitter person. It is human to feel a little jeal
ous at someone from time to time, but some people tend to get so obsessed with o
ther people s lives that they start acting grumpy and mad because of their jealous
y. When you feel that a jealousy feeling is arising in you, don t hate yourself. J
ust try to acknowledge that feeling and explore it. Ask yourself what triggered
your jealousy and when you find the answer, focus on how you can improve yoursel
f in order to get that thing you are jealous about. For example, if you are jeal
ous of your friend who has learned 2 languages, is successful at their job and t
ravels the world, then that means that you should work harder and dedicate yours
elf to the activities that will help you achieve these goals.
13. Have faith. Believe that anything can happen. You just have to believe that
miracles happen and you will see it for yourself.
