Instruction manual
one
Do not take everything you have for granted. Maybe you forgot how you worked to achieve this or that good, and now you don’t even notice what surrounds you. Thank yourself and the universe for all that you have. Make a list of what you have. Include in it relatives, friends, health, work, wealth, the ability to travel, freedom and personal comfort. If you like what you do, you can already call yourself a happy person.
2
Look for the pros in what you have. Perhaps you do not always value your work, family, or friends. Think about the fact that the opportunity to work opens before you the path of self-realization and provides a livelihood. Remember that your near and dear ones love you, that you can rely on your friends.
3
Get rid of the habit of complaining forever. Look for the pros in everything. Instead of getting nervous in traffic, think that you are lucky to be driving a car in a comfortable chair, and someone is now walking in the heat or cold. When you are unhappy with how your spouse behaves, remember that some people are generally single and only dream of having someone close to them.
4
Arrange an experiment. Give up comfort items for days or weeks. Do not turn on hot water, do not use the Internet, do not sit on the couch, but on a hard stool, eat simple, rough food and drink only water. Deprive yourself of all sorts of pleasures, whether it be going to the cinema, reading a book or sex. Do not buy new clothes and give up all sorts of excesses. With the help of this indicative experience, you will see what you have, what to rejoice at and why to thank fate.
5
Understand that happiness does not consist in the possession of certain things, not in money, not in power and not in luxury. The ability to feel happy is embedded within a person. If you are unreasonably dissatisfied with your own life and in vain are capricious, realize that changing external circumstances can bring only temporary relief. If you are not ready to allow yourself to enjoy life, new acquisitions will not help you.
6
Recognize the beauty and wisdom of nature. Walk more in the air, communicate with animals, enjoy the beautiful scenery. Try to find pleasure in the contemplation of a beautiful lake, forest, sunset, rain or leaf fall. Realize the futility of the pursuit of new things and rejoice in the fact that you already have what surrounds you.
