Many a times we come across incidences like someone bumped our car and we at our extreme anger look at the person and are about to say something and a sweet smile on his face suddenly reduces the intensity of anger and a little later the anger goes off. Also if you see someone fall on the ground or slipped on a muddy road makes you laugh. The response to such things could be different if you have a different approach, you might become more angry if you see a smile on the person's face who had bumped your car or you might not react at all if someone slips.
The only way to be happy is to discover the 'Happy Hormones' in you. No, I am not taking about the Serotonin or the Endorphin rush, it is not about the chemical composition of the body or mind but about your thought process, your way of reacting toward things.Children remain happy most if the time just because they react to things in a different manner without any logic n reasoning.I still get scolded on laughing in front of someone on any trivial thing but there are instances in everyone's life when you can't resist yourself laughing but you shouldn't as it will go against the norms of behavior.(one instance came to my mind right now is in a strategy building meeting my boss encircled with all of us started writing the future plan and the first thing on the blank page was his saliva, imagine......)
Well, how can you discover the happy hormones in you? It is as simple as anything the more you look at the things on a lighter mode the more easy they become.Laugh as much as you can and of course a true laughter is different from making fun of someone. Whenever I am depressed I give myself a big smile and laugh at petty things and sometime at nothing and believe me it works, someone is getting angry at you and you divert his mind on something that makes him laugh really works.(unless the issue is not grave otherwise it will backfire at you).The company of kids is a wonderful source of being happy, you laugh to make them laugh, you run, jump, do all sorts of nonsense acts just to see them happy and then gradually you also seems to laugh on such non sense things and make a habit of enjoying little things.
Remember every thing that makes sense may not make you happy.
