Happy people keep the sun shining out of their bum? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! In contrast to dissatisfaction, happiness is often quiet. 10 things that make people happy
Woke up with bloated stomach and fat legs, only managed half of what we set out to do in the office, stress with: the partner: in – everyone has a bad day. But that has nothing to do with whether we are generally happy with our lives. Satisfaction is reflected in the way we respond.
And since the things that we do and that we don’t do are usually so intuitive and natural to ourselves that we don’t even think about them, we often don’t even notice how happy and balanced we actually are. Would you like some examples? No problem! These ten subtle signs speak a lot about the fact that you are pretty happy right now.
Recognizing satisfaction: 10 signs that you are happy
1. You don’t talk yourself out.
Accidentally sent the mail to the wrong Meyer? Full pipe sweaty parents’ evening? Damaged the neighbor’s car while parking? Well, mistakes happen. But then dwell on excuses and justifications? Not your thing. In the time that others may spend explaining, you have long since made up for the faux pas. And learned from it.
2. You are always happy about the little things in your everyday life.
Is it always nice to come home in the evening? In autumn you often catch yourself thinking “finally time again for scented candles and scarves”, even though you are actually an absolute summer child? Do you love that feeling when your first morning coffee starts your day? Congratulations! Then you obviously hit it pretty well. In any case, dissatisfied people are far less likely to find what they enjoy in everyday life.
3. You keep calm most of the time.
Traffic jam, train failure, girlfriend late – maybe a bit annoying, but no reason to be stressed and nervous. Are you going to get a coffee or browse your Facebook feed. Hui, what a cute dog video …!
4. Excruciating boredom? Do not you know!
Sure, going out in the evening and a short trip to the sea or the mountains on the weekend is great. But it doesn’t have to be all the time. You can also enjoy empty time wonderfully. Wake up in the morning and have nothing to do? Absolutely no problem for you. In a way, sometimes you’re just enough of yourself. In addition, you often have the best ideas when it comes to “boredom”.
5. You are good at forgiving.
Even if you wanted to: You can’t hold back on other people’s missteps for long! You know: there is usually no bad intentions behind it. Sometimes you don’t think of everything or you are so distressed that you accidentally step on the feet of others. If you get something out of it, it’s not cool, but you don’t have to worry about it for a long time.
6. You take others at their word.
“How did he mean that now? Should that be an allusion?” You know that others often have such thoughts, but you don’t even know that about yourself. Why should you do great puzzles, interpret statements made by others and look for problems where there probably aren’t any? If something is unclear to you, you ask, it is much easier and more effective than agonizing your head.
7. For you, problems are more like to-dos.
But life really never goes according to plan. Well, what’s the point ?! Are you rewriting your plan? You see problems as stumbling blocks that you bump into, but which in most cases you can get out of the way. Stop in front of them and pretend they are insurmountable boulders? Nope! Don’t clear the way any faster.
8. You don’t compare your life to that of others.
To be honest, there are so many different ways of life, and everyone has something appealing about them. But it just doesn’t do you any good to constantly look left and right and look for something in others that might make you happy too. Why not? Chances are, because what you have already makes you pretty happy.
9. You stand by your responsibility.
If you are overwhelmed, you stand by it and ask for help, but sneaking out of the affair is out of the question for you. Of course, responsibility has something frightening, after all, a possible failure is always primarily the fault of the person responsible. But everyone knows that failure is part of life and that it is not the assignment of blame that improves a situation, but only that to continue with renewed courage.
10. You are little angry about politics and news.
Granted, the world is not perfect. But there’s no point if you’re angry about who others choose or what they shop and eat. You do your part to make the world a little better by living consciously and by being interested in your surroundings. But getting angry about things that you cannot influence only spoils your mood unnecessarily and eats up energy – so you let it go.
