Your past, your history
We all have unique personal histories. You may have had a relatively, uneventful life while others have endured many hardships, some have emotional and physical scars from their past, but what happened is done. Stop giving time to things, which no longer exists when there is so much joy to be found here and now.

When something bad happens, you have three choices, you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you to become an indestructible trunk. For when the storm comes, all other birds seek shelter; but the eagle alone avoids the storm by flying above it. When the storm breaks, the eagle spreads its wings and harnesses the storm’s energy to lift and soar above it. While the storm is raging below it, the eagle is effortlessly sailing above it using the very power of the storm as a means of transcending it.

The eagle does not escape the storm; it simply uses the power of the storm to rise higher. So, to all women, in the storms of your life, may your heart soar like an eagle. Truly happy people have a balanced perspective, meaning the conscious and the unconscious mind is in harmony with one another. Happiness is not something you achieve by earning a higher salary or finding your ideal partner; rather it is the acceptance of your true self.

Alter your attitude
If you want enduring satisfaction, you have to have to approach life with a mind-set that allows you to walk on the bright side, no matter what is thrown at you. You need to learn to select your thoughts the way you select your clothes in the morning. Try looking at difficult situations and painful experiences as opportunities for learning and growth, trusting that something good will eventually emerge from them learning to see things differently will help you react differently.

Count your blessings
Gratitude is the gift that keeps on giving – the more grateful we are for what we have the more good we will find in our lives to make a daily mental list of three things or people for which you are grateful. This will slowly retrain your brain to focus on the present and the positive. By telling the people on your list how blessed you are to have them in your life, you will also make them happy.
Give and receive love
Our relationships play a huge role in how happy we are because they provide us with a comforting sense of belonging.
Spending time with our loved ones strengthens the human connections that silence those self-defeating thoughts and improve your mood.
Examine the connections you really value and ask yourself how you can be a better friend to your spouse, children, family, friends and colleagues. Love and happiness go hand in hand, so love as much as you can and accept love in return.

Embrace the now and here
Everything that has happened in your past has led you to become exactly who you are today, your family history, your education, your experiences, your choices – these things belong to you and cannot be taken away. Truly, deeply happy people like who they are, take responsibility for where they are in life and are able to enjoy the situation in which they currently find themselves.

This means letting go of grudges from the past and forgiving those who may have wronged you. This inner peace will generate even more energy to spend on savouring life’s little joys.

Do not worry be happy:
*Exercise releases endorphins and serotonin, which are feel good hormones. Even just 10 minutes a day will lift your spirits.
*Boost your serotonin further by being kind. Selflessly helping someone is one of the easiest ways to feel good inside.
*If you are feeling down, force yourself to put a big smile on your face, just by grinning you can shift your mental state, Besides smiling people are always more attractive.
*Every woman deserves to be loved for the wonderful and amazing person that she is. You are an individual, original and a unique masterpiece. Don’t be someone other than the wonder you are.
