How to stay optimistic in life?

We often feel alone and life sucks. But do anyone realize why do we feel so?. It all depends on our mindset and our vision of life. If we are positive and optimistic about life, our horizon expands. Our horizon expands in terms of relations and happiness. So, what must we do in order to stay optimistic and stay happy. how to handle the situations when we feel pissed off with life. Here are some ways through which I try to stay positive in my life. I hope these will be helpful to you all also.

1. Create a positive environment

This is the first and foremost thing we have to do in order to stay happy in life. We must avoid saying and listening to negative thoughts. People who are surrounded with persons who discourage them are more likely to become pessimistic. Avoid people who tell you can't do or its impossible to be done. You must try to encourage and motivate people positively and you will definitely find happiness in their achievement.

2.Try to get socialized

Often when we get depressed, we inactivate ourselves from our social life. This is a blunder. We must try to mix with friends around us when we feel depressed because only they can help you to get out of your depression.

3. Recite a mantra within yourself

Choose a good one liner and recite it like a mantra whenever you feel down. One lines like "Be the change you want to see in the world" or "Everything happens for our own good" Or" It's better to lit a candle than curse the darkness" would be helpful. 

4.Maintain a Journal.

Try to list out the reasons what are making you feel sad in a book or journal. Try to analyse these reasons and check if they are valid reasons or are they too silly to get yourself deprived of your happiness.

5. Don't define your happiness by your environment

This is most important and the most difficult thing to overcome. We often give the key of our happiness to others hands. If they speak nicely with us, we would be happy, else no. If they praise us, we would be happy. Here we must understand that we are giving the control of our happiness to others which is very foolish. I strongly feel the control of our life must be in our hands only. 

6.Exercise daily

Try to mediate or exercise everyday as these will not only keep us fit but also by doing these activities we give time for our self, for the well being our body. To make the world love you, you must first start loving yourself kada!...

7. Try to help others.

When we help others, the smile which we bring on their face gives us euphoria of life. This will boost your positivety. So, figure out what you have and share it with others generously.
