Before you going to bed tonight, answer the this questions. this may not be typical day, but from this spot check you will get the general idea of what it takes to be happy all or most of the time.
1 Did you start off today feeling generally positive?
2 Did you do something today that made you feel happy?
3 When the things went wrong,was your reaction, "Could I have prevented this?"
4 Were you truthful with others about how you were feeling?
The more you answered yes,the more chance there is that you were happy today,
because each of these questions illustrated one of the key attitudes that happy people share.

Hello veronica! Thank you for asking this question . Today my mood is quite off. I don't feel quite happy as always. And even I don't know the reason of me being unhappy. Today every face I say, I see them happy, smiling,having fun but when I look into the mirror I see a boy which is upset about something but can't express it.
Do you have any solution of getting rid of this kind of solutions?
It would be really helpful.

hi atulmalla
don't be upset sometimes it happens.
stands close to a mirror and look yourself in the eye.
complete the following phrases"I pretend that...", "The truthis..."
For example." I pretend my so and so friend and I are close" and
" The truth is we never talk."
You don't have to do anything about what comes up right away. You're just being honest with yourself and that's the first step to being honest with others.

hey awiral29
Do you feel low, or dispirited, or just a bit unsure whether your life is taking the right track?
OK, you wouldn't say you were depressed, exactly,
but like you don't feel especially terrific at the moment either.
If so, a new branch of psychology may hold the answer.
"Positive psychology" teaches that feeling happy is a skill.
Positive psychology has its roots in research conducted on
happy adults who had very difficult childhood.
Despite growing up in homes where crushing poverty,
neglect and often abuse were the norm, these children
turned into well-balanced, contented adults.
The psychologists believe that it is possible to change
your behavior and learn this attitude. Indeed,
you can go from being a generally unhappy one
without having to win the lottery in between.

Well I didn't start my day feeling generally positive, I was rushing to go to school. But I did something today that made me feel happy which was riding on a kalesa (horse) again! Well things didn't went wrong, although I didn't have much money to spend on food. Yes I was truthful with others about how I was feeling. :) Yay! I'm happy.

i'm very happy today :)
based on those questions, i should be happy every day now!
(and i usually am :D)
very interesting thread, i approve!
can you say for yourself, that you are happy or you agree with this?
i am not quite sure i agree with number three, but it sounds like you're being constructive and trying to learn a lesson from things that go wrong, and i think that's what you mean correct? i think happy people always try to take a positive stance on events and learn lessons based on them instead of brooding about how it went wrong :)

1. YES (I got to meet an old friend whom I haven't seen a long while and meet new friends later on.
2. Yes, I did. It even made more people laugh. That is good. :)
3. Apparently, nothing went wrong today. Just felt nice.
4. Yes, I have been. Simply states, I just blurted it out as a joke. :)
Happiness dwells within and exudes out.. :)
