Want to know how to be happy? Try practicing gratitude throughout your day by cultivating awareness for little (and big) things that you're thankful for. Buddha is quoted as having said, "Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so let us all be thankful.
" Regardless of your religious or philosophical outlook, gratitude may be one of the factors that can increase your happiness. On a person to person level, saying "thank you" positively reinforces the person who has offered you a gift. Therefore, that person may choose to give again. Interestingly, women may be better at offering thanks than men.
Being grateful doesn't mean that you won't strive for more tomorrow, it means acknowledging what you have today. What does this mean on a practical day-to-day level? Of course, being thankful isn't the only piece to being happy. How Do YOU Define Yourself Lizzie Velasquez at TEDxAustinWomen. Amanda Palmer: The art of asking. David Steindl-Rast: Want to be happy?
