A sense of community forms a large proportion of our overall happiness, and how much we cherish it depends on our actions. When you're in public, there's no harm in smiling at people and saying a simple "Hello", when appropriate. By doing this, you will be strengthening your social bonds rather than loosening them.
No one knows what the future holds, but hope is the only thing we have that connects us to it in a positive way. Once we have hope, we are more trusting of whatever comes our way. And people will see our optimism shining through from the inside. This also creates good vibes with the people we meet, hence spreading more positivity. Don't forget to use this word as a key to giving good advice.
Remind yourself that there IS a solution to nearly everything. It usually isn't as bad as you think it is. If something diverges from your expectations, it doesn't mean you won't be able to work your way through it. Using "good' or "great" enhances your sense of positivity; and, besides, they surely sound much better to people's ears than a frank "but".
There's nothing wrong with wondering about stuff. Having thoughts and questions popping up in your head is absolutely normal. Asking "how" means that you are interested in something, you want to learn, and you want to challenge yourself. As long as it is used for good intentions and not too often, this word can make you feel that you're taking the initiative in something positively, as in for instance: "How does this work?" or "How can I help?".
Things can not simply be good, they can be much more than that! At such times, we would want to express our excitement about what is turning out to be great in whatever we are doing. This is why words like "awesome" and "excellent" are vital to one's daily vocabulary. Remember that everything can be excellent if we rightfully decide it is so!
Show that you can give a "yes" now and again. This doesn't mean you should accept everything you come across, but adopting a 'yes' attitude towards life and its opportunities will make others realize you have a strong and reliable character. Avoid too much of 'no' and 'I don't know' in your answers and decisions - look at the bright side and open your mind to other options - there's always room for a 'yes'.
Where has your enthusiasm gone? Have you forgotten how to be awed at something? Don't keep looking into how much better something can be, appreciate that it's already amazing enough and that what is yet to come is something thrilling! Look for the opportunities that make you say 'wow' - you'll realize how many of them we come across every day but never notice.
We sometimes forget to say the most profound word of all. Let people know how important they are to you by saying the special three-word sentence - "I love you". Very often, we know it deep down but we fail to say it out loud. Love is something that grows, but also something that can be lost terribly quickly. So before you regret it, spread the incredible feeling within you with your friends, family, and partner in life, not only in words but also in actions.
Appreciation and gratitude are the greatest gifts of fulfillment you could ever give to anyone. Nothing beats letting someone know they have done something special. When you use "thanks", people will feel more significant and respected around you. Maybe there are some people in your life to whom you owe a big thank you. Let them know this before it's too late, and make sure you put a smile on their faces. You will feel lighter and happier yourself upon doing it.
Finally, don't forget "me". Remember: it's okay to think of yourself a little more often. Think of how you are feeling and what makes you feel better. When we reflect on ourselves, we often tend to examine our flaws. Rather than doing this, create the opportunity to feel good about yourself, observe your improvements and know what your skills and talents are. No one will ever know them better than you do. Apart from this, never forget that in order to make other people happy, you need to find happiness within yourself.
Radiate your happiness now, by sharing these positive thoughts with your dear ones.
