I know it is difficult to be happy, but listen to me. Happiness is like a badly treated cat. It does not come when you call it; It ignores your careful plans, and sometimes it knocks on your favorite mug without any good reason. But if you are patient, gentle, and perhaps a bit strange about it, happiness may be curl next to you when you expect it at least.

We think that happiness is a grand event, such as winning lottery or finding out that your local cafe has started doing free cake on Friday. (Dream big.) But in fact, it is more than a collage of small, funny things. A good cup of tea. You forget to feel strange with so much hard work. Putting a dog out of the window of a car with his head looks absolutely thrilling from life.

Of course, being happy does not mean feeling fabulous all the time. No one is suspicious. Life can be chaotic. People are unexpected. Wi-Fi goes down. The real trick is still looking at the small happiness when things are a bit nonsense.

Start foolishly. Wear socks that smile you. When you wait for the kettle to boil, dance a lot in the kitchen. Name your houseplants. Give them personality. (Brian the Fern is a lot of decision.)

Khushi also loves the company, but correctly. Find your people. Those who tell you about your bizarre dream from last night or send you to memes at 2 o’clock. Humans are wired for connection, not perfection.

And sometimes happiness is calm. It is setting boundaries, without crime, closing your phone and asking to get eight hours of sleep like an absolute champion. It is about allowing yourself to be boring if it recharges you.

Finally, and this is important, reduce the bar. In a few days, happiness is not crying on the spreading milk (or at least when you mop it). This day is surviving. brushing your teeth. A deep breathing and saying, “Okay, it was a lot.”

Happiness is not a permanent situation. It is a visitor. And like that badly behaved cat, you don’t need to chase it. Create a life that he wants to travel, bizarre, dirty, human. And when it shows it? As long as it likes it, let it sit on your lap.
