Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.
61. ________________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”
Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
62. ________________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”
63. ________________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.”
64. ________________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy people all have goals they care about.”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times. Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”
65. ________________
When times are tough, it’s easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mopping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”

How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more.This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up.Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way.You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.
1.___ _______.
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had.Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards.If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off.But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success.
2.__________.
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations.In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities.A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget.The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.
3. ______.
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work.People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with.These signals came from various areas of life.You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress.Say quite openly, "I can't manage that."
4. _____.
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier." This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy.Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges.Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road.But life doesn't consist entirely of these things.In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.
5.___________.
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work.Find out which places improve your creativity.For me it's the train.When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles.There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles).
