Happiness Tip #2: Train your mind
As mentioned already, you can train your mind to become happier and it all starts with ‘awareness’. You have to develop awareness around the feeling and the concept of happiness to you.
Furthermore, ask yourself;
What is happiness for me?
What makes me happy?
Why am I happy?
How can I keep this happiness coming?
Give yourself enough time to ponder on those emotions, write them down if you want to, reframe your mindset, and then create an action plan on how you can pursue that happiness.
