How to be Happy Every Day: A Guide to Living a Good Life. Part 3 of 3.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory states that humans have a fundamental need to fulfil specific requirements before being content. The hierarchy starts with basic needs like food and water and proceeds to safety, love, esteem and self-actualization. It may take time to work your way up the pyramid, but it is worth it in the end! Once you have satisfied your needs on a physiological level - including those higher on the list - you will be ready for self-fulfilment. This involves living purposefully based on what YOU want rather than relying on societal norms or expectations. In short: You become a fulfiller of your own needs instead of just meeting others' demands.
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is a relatively new field that tries to understand and promote people's happiness. It has been proven repeatedly that being happy leads to better physical health, increased productivity, and reduced stress levels.
1. Happiness isn't something that you achieve- it's something that you create by focusing on things that make you happy.
2. There are five steps to happiness - find your purpose, connect with others, do good things, develop healthy habits (such as exercise), and stay positive in tough times.
3 Make sure to keep these tips in mind daily and watch your life transform for the better!
Do I Need Help?
Self-sufficiency is a great goal, but it takes work to achieve. To make things easier for yourself, begin by setting primary objectives you can easily conquer. Remember that happiness isn't something you reach destination-side; it gradually grows with each accomplishment. Next up is health - the foundation of good mental and physical well-being! Make sure to get enough sleep every night and don't skip meals because hunger pangs are potent enemies of self-discipline. Stay away from stressors at work or home as much as possible, and exercise regularly to keep your mind sharp and your muscles toned. Last but not least: be grateful for what you have in life! Dwell on the good things rather than dwelling on the bad ones, learn to savour small pleasures instead of getting bogged down by negative thoughts. Taking these simple steps will help you lead a happier life overall!

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I start building happier habits in my daily routine?
First of all, it's essential to understand what happiness is. Once you know what it is and looks like, you can start planning to cultivate more of it in your life. Here are four tips on building happier habits:
Make a plan: Take some time to think about things that make you happy, and then create a plan of how you will find ways to bring those things into your everyday routine.
Set small goals: When starting, don’t set a few big goals you can't realistically achieve. Instead, set smaller goals that are manageable and attainable. The more you can do in a short time, the easier it will be to stick to your new happy habit.
Believe in yourself: It's essential to have a positive attitude and believe that good things will happen for those who let them. Look for the good in people and things, and don't forget to savour the little moments along the way.
Be patient: Don't get discouraged if your happy habit doesn't work right from the beginning. If, at first, you fail, try again and continue trying new things until you find something that works well for you.
What will things make me happy and help me feel fulfilled in life?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as everyone's happiness is unique. However, some things that may help you feel fulfilled and happy in life are:
1. Pursue activities that make you happy regularly. This could mean going on walks with your dog, writing in your journal, spending time with friends, or doing something you love to do.
2. Believe that you can be happy no matter what life throws your way. If you have low self-esteem or a negative mindset, it will be hard to find happiness. However, suppose you have a positive outlook on life and believe you're capable of joy. In that case, it's much easier to find fulfilment.
3. Take care of yourself mentally and emotionally. Do things that make you happy, eat healthily, get enough sleep, and don't stress out about things that don't matter.
4. Make time for your loved ones. Prioritize relationships and cherish quality time together. Spending time with people who care about you is one of the best things to happen to your happiness quotient!
How can I stay motivated every day to live a good life?
To stay motivated daily to live a good life, start by listing your personal happiness goals. Once you have a list of things that make you happy, start working on achieving them one step at a time. For example, if goal number one on your happiness list is spending more time with loved ones, start planning to do things together this week. Once you have accomplished one small step in reaching your goal, feel happy and motivated to move on to the next. Remember to spend some time each day reflecting on your achievements and how you can build upon them tomorrow. Dwelling on the past or future will only stress you out and take away from the happiness you currently experience. Instead, focus on living in the present moment and taking things one step at a time.
