There is no right formula to be happy, sometimes a person can have everything and not find happiness, or have nothing and still feel the happiest in the world, with nothing to worry about.
Happiness has nothing to do with what you have, it's a state of mind, what you do to feel good, regardless of the factors that surround you. Mind and soul in harmony collaborate for the proper functioning of your body and all the energy that emanates around you.
Being happy doesn't mean that you won't have problems, or that there won't be sad moments, but knowing how to manage them without letting them affect your life in a way that puts you down or discourages you.
We separate some tips that help to cultivate good things, in search of such happiness:
do good
There's a song by rapper Slim Rimografia that says "do good and feel good", that's the purest truth. Donating something, whether material or not, such as clothes, your time or your attention, makes you feel good to be able to help someone in need. In addition to showing that there are more serious and bigger problems than yours.
be grateful for what you have
Take a moment in your day to think about everything you have. Give thanks for what you've already achieved and don't regret what hasn't come yet. It's important to have ambition, but we can't just be always looking to improve and never value what we have. We should be grateful for what is possible now.
You will laugh… Without realizing it, happiness is just a matter of being!

Practice physical activities
It is proven that when we practice physical activities, our body releases endorphins, a natural substance produced by the brain, which generates a feeling of pleasure and well-being, reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety.
See the bright side of things
As we said before, a happy life does not mean that there will be no sad moments, however, feeling sorry for yourself and brooding over the facts does not improve the situation, much less solve the problem. Don't allow negativity to not let you see the positive side of things, know how to survive difficulties and not live them intensely.
Try, risk, dare
Exploring new learning stimulates us, renews our energy and stirs our emotions. It is good to experience new experiences, to be open to new knowledge, to meet new people, to discover worlds different from our own.
Don't care what others say
Of course, constructive criticism helps us and makes us grow, but if that's not the intention, ignore it, don't give importance to what others will think or say about you, gossip and teasing only serve to put us down.
cultivate bonds
Giving and receiving affection is very good, know how to value the people around you. Of course, there will be times when you will be alone, but it is important to have people we can always count on.
love yourself a lot
Nobody can do more for you than yourself. Take care of your health and well being, seek activities that do you good. Have fun, allow yourself moments of pleasure. Value your qualities, your appearance, above all, love yourself a lot, just the way you are.
The essential thing is to focus your energies on things that do you good, so being happy will just be a consequence!
