soul searching... it's a choice and a decision... look at yourself and evaluate.. if there are thing you can change that you don't like, work on that... look at the life style you lead..are you satisfied? love and accept yourself..........If you like reading find some self help books...I don't like reading...so, I took some time to do some soul searching..I "dissected" myself and I had to be honest with myself..

Well, I have some suggestions. Only you will know if it makes you happier in life! Think of yourself but don't be selfish. YOU are an important person and you must consider yourself and your needs and wants or you will be left feeling empty. Do things because you want to or feel in your heart that it's the right thing to do, not because you feel obligated or pushed. If someone needs your help and you have the time, be generous with it. If you really would be putting yourself out to help than you can't. People will take your time, money, effort, everything if you let them. You choose what , where and for who you will do for. Without time, you cannot focus on you at all. Hobbies make us happy but we need time to do them. Having fun with friends makes us happy but not if your friend drains you emotionally and mentally every time we talk to them. Make sure YOU remember YOU and I promise, your life will be happy and you will feel good about yourself! Tap into your inner most being...what all would you like to do that would make you happy? OK! Time's a wastin'! Do it!

Start off each day with a shower for refreshment and make a sincere effort to dress up nicely. Wear your favorite cologne, and go out and buy something you've been wanting. Try to keep an optimistic attitude, and soon that attitude will become your character.
When you look good, you feel good.
Read things you like, go places you want, eat food that is healthy and that provides serotonin. IE Bananas, sunflower seeds, etc. You can do research on this too to find out which foods are good. I think salmon is among one of them as well.
Don't give up on life because if not for yourself, live for others. (Help the needy, join a community organization like Habitat for Humanity where you're in a teamwork setting, or go help feed the poor through another group). Perhaps the enjoyment that you'll get out of helping others will make you feel happy about yourself, your accomplishments, and your life.

I don't know what bothers you so to ask this question, but I have a guess that you probably have a good marriage and/or a good job yet you still feel unhappy.
Find out what really want and why. This is not easy, it is a process, but believe me, it will be worthwhile in the end.
While growing up kids are taught that they should feel happy if they have achieved certain things (see above).
This is completely wrong as people have different desires and need different things to feel happy.
Some people only feel happy when they are loved. If such a person aspires to working for a lot of money and forsakes his / hers personal life, he will end up depressed and confsed about why is he not happy even though he's a millionaire.
On the contrary, some people only feel happy if they have lots of money. If such a person falls in love and leaves his career (and money with it) behind, he will also end up feeling depressed and confsed about why is he not happy even though he's loved.

Laugh a lot and listen to happy music. It's scientifically proven that music triggers a reaction in the human brain and depending on the music you listen to, it can help change your mood. Also, you can try playing an instrument too. Even thought it doesnt work for everyone, playing music can help people let go of their bad emotions like sadness or anger. Hope I helped!

This world is called Maya (illusion) it is temporary and full of misery. This is not our real home. If one wants to be free of illusion and misery, the quickest and easiest way is to chant the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from illusion, and suffering. Go to harekrishnatemple.c for all details, Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada which gives the purpose and meaning of human life.

In your question, you have used word "FEEL" and that is your answer.
Just feel it all the time, in any circumstances that You are happy, You are very happy, You are very very happy and you will achieve same happiness in your life.
Have minimum desires, do not expect from others and just enjoy. Do self suggestions that you are happy. Happiness will knock your doors of life dear.
Good Luck!

Well everyday you wake-up, stop and ly there in your bed for a minute, and meditate on how much you have to be "Thankful For", and all of your "Stregths" and how many people love you, for who you are, and all that God has blessed you with, and all that you are "Capable of" and the wheather, even if its raining outside, or cold.... And just the simple fact that God gave you another day, on Planet earth, to make thee most of it, in the "Best Way Possible".... And any heavy burdens you have just throw them into the wind, and or if you are a "Believer in God" just ask God to take all of your "Burdens" and lighten your load..... And to show your heart Joy Unspeakable, and to give you all of your heart's desires in this life, you know...... If you have the faith of a "Mustard Seed" God will bless you, hun !!! You'll see... Smile!!! I'm sure you have a Beautiful smile!!! And that you have so much to be Thankful for...... Life's too short,,to worry about tomorrow,, or to be down in the dumps hun!!! Just concentrate on all of the good around you.... Even the littlest things!!!! Look out your window and see all the Beauty God has given us in this day; too enjoy, just for us,, for our eyes to see!!! What a Loving God we have that we can enjoy, even the simplest things in life!!!! And its those things that will lift-up your "Spirits" hun!!!!

ive learned that no matter what, you have to do whats right for YOU, most of the time people arent happy because they spend their time making other people happy to avoid conflict,i say, tell people that you need some you time and do the things that are fun for you, and take a breather and relax, it will come with time, and i dont mean to be a downer, but it wont happen overnight, it takes work, but you can do it, just trust and have faith in yourself and it will fall into place, good luck in your venture and god bless you!
