Satisfaction comes (almost) by itself with these "building blocks"
Be happy, who does not want that? Friends and family, your own self-esteem, success in the job and heartfelt things that bring us joy: all this helps to be happy.
Be happy thanks to friends & family
They are our adventure co-pilots. Provide the best arguments why we are the loveliest man on earth. Listen, if we have problems. Hug us when we are sad. Always have a handkerchief ready, even before a tear rolls from our eyes. Encourage us to do things that we do not trust ourselves. In front of them we can be who we are - and we can even outgrow them at our side: friends and family are the cornerstones of satisfaction .
A healthy sense of self belongs to becoming happy
Okay, we may not have any model measurements and the hair does not shine like the shampoo ad, but we like each other. Our freckles. Our dimples. Even the little scar on his forehead. Not in an autocratic way - we just stand by us. Of course, this does not only apply to our appearance, but also to our inner values. Nice side effect: If we radiate this satisfaction, we are also attractive to men.
Success experiences help to become happy
We spend more time at work than with our partner. If we love what we do and do not grudge ourselves at the end of the working day before the next working day, it will provide us with more than just the money for rent and food. But confirmation. Appreciation. Success experiences that let us grow. Ideal is the flow state, in which we forget everything else around us - which of course we also experience when we lose ourselves completely in the spare time in a job - and thus become happy . And if our work succeeds well and is praised by others.
Heartfelt things to be happy
In addition to actions that bring us recognition, but we also need something to which we are attached to our hearts. A private project in which we rise, a hobby in which we relax - something we do only for ourselves. For some it is photography, for others the allotment.
And there is something else that can greatly enrich life: faith. According to scientific research, religious people are more likely to cope with rainfall, their faith gives them hope and confidence in something bigger. This helps to make you happy and therefore satisfies you.
