How to be happy every day Simple mindset shifts that can transform your life (Image AI Generated)

How can you flip your life from being unhappy to happy? What are the small steps that you can take to transform your mind? The happiness reset is possible with what I call a happiness card. Do you have a happiness card? You may wonder, what is this happiness card? It is a simple card that has a list of 10 happiness triggers, 10 things that can instantly make you happy. For example, you may be tired and feeling low. May be a cup of coffee will cheer you up. For somebody else, it could be a toffee.

Create your own happiness card

So, what are the small things that can change your mindset? According to Happpy AiR- Atman in Ravi, Happiness Ambassador, "Make a happiness card enlisting them. And whenever you feel low, look at that card and pick an activity that lifts you up. It could be playing with your pet dog, going for a long walk or a drive, listening to your favourite song or tune, or watching a TV program. Sometimes, it could be calling your best friend. Or simply enjoying your favourite food. Whatever it may be, there are small things that make us happy. And we must learn to reset to shift our mood."

Move from mind to consciousness

But what is most important is to move from mind to consciousness. Because mind is M-I-N-D Misery because of Ignorance, Negativity, and Desire. Even if you have happiness card, if you let the mind take over, it will become your greatest joy stealer. What is the use of having wealth if a thief robs you of your happiness? The happiness reset is about resetting from mind to consciousness, from ignorance to intelligence, from negative to positive. Therefore, we must learn these small tricks, these simple daily choices.

Start your day with a positive affirmation

Why not begin each day with a powerful affirmation:

"I choose to be happy today,
Though the skies are cloudy and grey.
Despite what people say
Despite the problems that come my way,
I still choose to be happy today."

This itself is a trigger to give you bliss.

Why small things matter more than success?

Remember, it is not the big things that make you happy. It is the small things that matter. Unfortunately, we have been taught a lie, that success is happiness. So, we keep running behind money, name, fame, pleasure, success. But we don't have to be a millionaire or a billionaire to be happy. We must become a smile trillionaire.

Choose happiness every day

Therefore, what mindset must we change? We must refuse to be pessimistic or sad. We must learn to smile. Smile all the while. And laugh. Remember this, when you are happy, you laugh. But you can't always be happy. However, you can always laugh. Make it a habit. Because when you laugh, you become happy. When you smile, you become happy. These are small triggers. And these small triggers can change your life.

Replace negative thoughts with positive energy

Sometimes, when NEP, Negative Energy Poison, tries to enter, flip to PEP Positive Energy Power. Don't let toxic thoughts steal your bliss. Choose happiness over unhappiness. Tell yourself: "If I can be glad, but I choose to be sad, then am I not mad?" Don't be mad, choose to be glad. Don't be sad, because happiness is a choice. And if you make the happiness reset a habit, you will never remain unhappy.

Practice gratitude and kindness daily

Small things can transform your life. Give. Give. Give. Give someone a smile. Give someone a helping hand. Give someone what they need. Give and forgive. Count your blessings. Live with the attitude of gratitude. These simple choices can transform your life into a life of bliss, peace, love and joy.
