8 Easy Ways To Be Happier Right Now (4 of 5)

Focus on someone else

Sometimes we are just too focused on our own problems. Get some perspective and focus your energy on a friend, family member, or significant other. By taking some time to help someone else or learn about their current life situation, you give yourself a breather. You may also realize that your problems are just not that bad. Also, generally helping someone else is a great way to boost your mood and attitude. Putting a smile on someone else’s face is sure to put one on your face too.

Concentrate on some positive words

Thinking positive thoughts will yield more positive thoughts. This is also the case with merely thinking of positive words. Try concentrating on words that have a position association for you, like “family,” “vacation,” “fun,” or “smile.” Try this method and you may just sense a feeling of happiness shine through.
