Step 4:
When you find yourself faced with a situation that brings about negative thoughts and bad feelings, take time to acknowledge and assess those feelings. Then look at the situation from all angles too seek an equally true and positive thought to work from. This doesn't mean that you go into denial about the negative of the situation; it just means that you choose to pay more attention to the positive part of the situation and how to improve it. Seeking positive situations and outcomes is what leads to being truly happy in life.
Say, for instance, that you feel defeated with your job and are weighed down with all kinds of negatives about your job, your duties, your co-workers, your boss, etc. Take time to re-evaluate everything in your job. If you take the time to do so, I'm sure you'll find a few positives that you can choose to focus on in order to make your work days more pleasant. If not, then focus on a positive outcome by considering what you can do to find something that you truly would enjoy or that would improve the situation for you. Use this technique for any negative situations and thoughts that arise about yourself, your home, your family, your relationships, etc. This is how you can become truly happy!

Develop A Positive Attitude To Help U Be Truly Happy
Step 3:
Direct your focus away from the negatives and more towards the positives. When you focus on the positives, you naturally stimulate your brain with its' own happiness chemicals. Our neurotransmitters respond to and produce various emotional responses in the brain and body based upon our thoughts and behaviors. Some typical neurotransmitters/ chemicals in the brain include Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Endorphins.
When we view things in a negative perspective the amount of these neurotransmitters that are created in the brain will decrease; which keeps the mind and body in a state of melancholy, negativity, anxiety, pain, illness and even depression. On the other hand, having a positive attitude and seeking positive outcomes will activate more of these neurotransmitters in the brain, signaling the brain and body to feel truly happy and positive, which energizes the body and allows more blood flow to the muscles to help reduce anxiety, pain and illnesses.

Re-Direct Ur Focus From The Negative
Step 2:
Realize that not everything is all negative; and the negative side of a situation is not the entire truth. For every negative you focus on, there is also at least one positive to be found within any situation. Focusing more on the positives rather than fixating on the negatives helps people to create an outcome that makes those people happy. Seeking positives provides them with the attitude they need to overcome the negatives of the situation. Just as negative thoughts create negative outcomes, the power of a positive attitude and seeing positive potentials can drive one to redirect their efforts in creating positive outcomes that can make a person happy.
