Helloooooo people!!! Yes, I’m really excited🎉🎊. It’s 2:23 A.M and I really couldn’t find any sleep so I’m like why not write another article. I know It’s been like two days since I had published my last one but heyy there are no rules over here😉😁. Today, we’re going to talk about HAPPINESS 💃🏽💃🏽. It’s an exciting subject and I hope that I’ll be able to deliver. I have finals coming up so you won’t hear from me for at least two weeks so enjoy this one. If you are new to my page, welcome, bienvenido,byenvini,bienvenue😁 please click on the menu at the top left to find my other articles. Sooo let’s get to it✨✨
If you have read my “Self love , Self confidence ” post, you’d remember how I mentioned that nowadays I’m the happiest version of myself. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy before but all that because I started to love myself more. So this post is kind of the part two of the “Self love….” one. If you haven’t read it yet you can just click on the link below👇🏾

Today there won’t be a story time☹️ but I’ll try to use examples in each tip so you can understand it better.🤭🤭
Tip #1 : Learn to accept things as they are🙌🏾. My number one motto in this life is that everything happens for a reason. I wasn’t always so optimistic but I’ve learned to trust God and I am certain that he knows what he’s doing. Why should you stress about something that you cannot change or that cannot be undone??🤷🏽♀️ X or Z didn’t happen like you would’ve preferred because maybe in your head it was the best option but in reality it wasn’t. If you’re a believer, this is the step where you have to just put your trust in God and let him be the one to guide your life. Two years ago, I’ve had a panic attack after an exam, I had to be rushed to the hospital so that I could get oxygen. All that because I was stressing over a situation that couldn’t be undone. It’s serious guys and it’s real.
Tip #2 : Speak positivity into your life💯💯. I have read somewhere that the things we say, the way we speak, the way we think, can affect our lives. If we speak negativity, then negativity will manifest in our lives. But if we speak positivity, then positivity will manifest in our lives. My mom taught me this so well. For example, she could say something like “When you’re married, I’ll do this or that….” and I would answer like “Sa k diw m ap marye?” (creole for who said I’ll get married) and she would answer and say that the words that come out of my mouth are powerful and that I should not take anything lightly (I’m single btw🤣jk). Start speaking positivity into your life✔️. Yes you will pass the class with a 80+, You will get that promotion, You will get the job, You will do good…..Make this a priority and watch how your life will change😉🤗😘.
Tip #3 : Try new things✨. Like I said in the last article, you need to find a passion (like today)🙄. The best way to find your passion is to try new things. I don’t know about you guys but the idea of trying something new, the excitement of doing something for the first time makes me really happy. I have a whole bucket list of things I wanna try and I know every single one of them will make me happy😁😁. When trying new things, I’d say to just go with something you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t limit yourself. Even if the happiness might be for a short period, it’s a great step when creating your own happiness. All my life I’ve wanted to know how to swim. I’d never found the opportunity to do so and I became afraid of pools (not really the ocean but mostly the swimming pools). I’d have nightmares about drowning. One time, a coworker told me that it was unsafe for me to be working with kids and not knowing how to swim. She told me that she’d teach me (she’s a swimming teacher). I jumped on the opportunity and although I had cried most of the times during practice and I still haven’t fully recovered from my fear, swimming makes me really happy.
Tip #4 : Social media detox📵🚮. I’ve mentioned this already but I think I should put it here too. If you’re someone who uses social media a lot and you’re trying to be happy, do a social media detox. Detach yourself from your favorites apps. Social media has this power over us. A study have shown that social media’s apps can led in increasing feelings of depression, anxiety, poor body image and loneliness. If you’re someone who isn’t comfortable in your body, being on social media and seeing how society portrays what can be considered as beautiful, can make you feel sad or miserable. If you’re unhappy, seeing other people having the time of their lives can also mess up your happiness. So take a break, learn how to be ok with yourself, with your situation and then go back.
Tip #5 : Stop seeking for acceptance🚫. I strongly feel like we only try hard to be accepted when we don’t feel comfortable in our own skin. Like we’re trying so hard for others to like us and it’s just sad😪. You can’t be happy if you’re constantly concerned about what others think of you. You’ll live a life of stress because you always wanna do what everyone else is doing, you wanna look perfect etc… When this happens, you value other people’s opinions over your own and when their opinion is different than yours (which happens in most of the cases), you’ll become upset and sad. So don’t wait, STOP NOW!!!!
Tip #6 : Avoid arguments🙅🏾♀️🙅🏾♀️. In the past two years I have learned that sometimes it’s better to stay silent🤫. What’s the point of bickering non stop? It’s better to just expose how you’re feeling and if someone else doesn’t agree with it, it’s okay. Don’t try to point out that you’re right. Just let it go. As humans we’re all different. We won’t always agree on everything because we have different opinions and it’s normal🗣. Stop forcing your opinion on others. Don’t say stuffs while you’re angry. You’ll regret them later☹️.
Tip #7 : Appreciate the little things🤗❤. It’s the little things that matter the most. Sometimes we focus on big things, on achievements but we often forget where we came from and how we got there. We have so many blessings in this life that we don’t even acknowledge. Being able to wake up everyday, being able to breath is a blessing. Being grateful makes you realize the good side of everything that has been happening in your life. Always thank people for what they do for you. Once you become grateful you’ll attract positivity into your life 😉.
“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.” Kurt Vonnegut
Tip #8 : Give more, expect less💯💯. Expectations aren’t real. They are just our imagination telling us what would be the ideal situation and that’s why most of the times, things don’t go as we expected. When we expect less from people we save our little hearts from disappointments and sadness💔. Cause when you don’t receive back the energy that you gave, you’ll feel sad and we don’t want sadness over here. No no🙅🏾♀️!Only good vibes and good energy! Like I said last time, you are the only person responsible of your happiness. Do not depend on others to be happy. Always give 100, you’ll always be the bigger person. I strongly believe that the more you give, the more you’ll get🎉🎊.
Tip #9 : Let go of the past🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♀️. Letting go is mandatory. If you keep looking back, you’ll never move forward. If a situation has hurt you and you keep thinking about it all the time, you’ll always be drown in sadness. You won’t be able to appreciate life as it is because you’re stuck in the past. It’s only acceptable to look back in the past to take notes of what you did wrong in order to become a better version of you but once that is done, you should just keep moving forward and leave the past where it belongs. The past cannot be changed. It can only help us to change our state of mind. Accept what happened and move on🙌🏾.
Tip #10 : Practice forgiveness👫🤝🏾. Last but not least, learn to forgive others in order to become happy. Forgiveness is accepting that things have happened and there’s nothing that we can do about it. Forgiveness is letting go of any pain that a situation has caused us. When we forgive, we feel free and freedom is a step forward in finding happiness. Forgiveness brings a peace of mind. Holding grudges is unhealthy because you’re living with anger or hatred in your heart. You’ll never be truly happy if you don’t forgive others.
“It hurts more to hold grudges than to forgive; the anger we hold inside damages us. Do not be prisoners of yourselves ” .- Unknown
