JAKARTA – Everyone has a different measure of happiness. Even the way he gets a feeling of prosperity and satisfaction with every process he goes through in life, even though he doesn't always get his goal, can still feel happy.

According to a review by Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology and brain sciences at the University of Massachusetts, by remembering a pleasant experience one can get 'healing' and achieve happiness. On the other hand, someone who feels happy has the following signs.

1. Live life with integrity

David Leonhardt was quoted by Reader's Digest, Monday, December 27, saying that people who have integrity live what they believe in. The author of Climb Your Stairway to Heaven: The Nine Habits of Maximum Happiness added that people who believe in what they need and get it by enjoying each process will feel more valuable.

2. Make peace with everything, including those that don't match expectations

Enjoying the present and focusing your energies without worrying about the past or the future, according to Michelle Keeley, means embracing life to the fullest. He also said that life is made up of a series of moments, worrying about them just wastes your time and makes you unhappy.

3. Often grateful

Gratitude can lead to feelings of being more satisfied and happy. For example, when you do an act of kindness, or even give a compliment to a colleague, the changes will be felt in your body.

4. Satisfactory work results

Happiness can be felt when you find something meaningful. For example, when you like your job, it makes you happier. Even if there is no work that is not tiring, you are still happy with the results of your work.

5. Enjoy the relationship

Fighting is bound to happen, but as long as you can make peace with yourself and practice respect and patience then you can have a better relationship. Not only relationships with your partner, but relationships with family, coworkers or your circle of friends.

6. Don't criticize yourself

Self-criticism often makes a person so undeveloped. He will be filled with doubt in achieving the goal. So, happy people know very well how to find happiness by letting go of negative feelings and thoughts on themselves.

7. Easy to adapt to change

Many people are afraid of change, but happy people go with the flow of life, including all the changes they experience. Michelle Keeley says that if you feel more in control and more adaptable, you have a greater chance of being happy than reacting to change.

8. Enjoy the simple things

Never take small things for granted, because happy people often think of them as bricks to build a house of happiness. They take time to enjoy a healthy meal, a beautiful painting, or a sunrise.

9. Spread happiness to those around him

Happiness is contagious, says Michelle Keeley. He adds, giving back happiness to others is the best way to find happiness in your life.

10. Take life not too seriously

It doesn't mean letting go of responsibilities, but paying off responsibilities by still being able to smile. Even happy people have a sense of humor that can cheer up those around them.

Do you have all the signs above? Maintain your happiness, yes, because it turns out that happy people have good physical health.
