There are many different spiritual practices in this world that lead a person to understanding and then achieving true happiness on Earth. For example, it can be Sri Aurobido's Integral Yoga school or Vadim Zeland's Transurfing. However, each such practice requires from a person a tremendous return of strength (almost a feat), and sometimes a certain spiritual readiness - that is why there are so many different schools of development and improvement in the world.
However, there is a very simple way to always be happy, a kind of magic magic wand, is to awaken a feeling of gratitude in your soul. Scientists have conducted hundreds of different studies and experiments in recent decades, and all of them, without exception, have shown that there is a direct relationship between the level of happiness and gratitude. Try to thank God (the Universe), Fate, Nature, Mother Earth for a whole month for what you have in life, finally, just the people around you and any situations (even those that seem negative), and you will find to your amazement that the world transformed, filled with light, joy and happiness.
However, gratitude also needs to be learned, otherwise you will be enough for no more than a few minutes, at best, for a few days. How can one overcome this barrier of disbelief (this cannot be, because it can never be), laziness (which of us does not have it!), Impatience (well, where is the promised happiness?), Fear (and if I fail ?) and so on and so forth?
One hundred thanks at once
As soon as you decide to try the practice of gratitude, take a pen, a blank sheet of paper and write on it a hundred things for which you are ready to thank God (the Universe), Destiny - well, anyone. This exercise is interesting because you suddenly understand how you impoverish yourself, passing by your eyes, ears, finally, mind and heart dozens of insights, events and situations that push you to happiness, and you do not even notice them in your deep sleep of momentary worries, worries and fears.

Gratitude journal
Then, by all means start a journal of gratitude (you can electronic, if it is more convenient for you), in which you enter everything that you managed to thank for the day. You can devote just a couple of minutes a day to such a magazine, for example, before going to bed (or in the morning - with a fresh mind). Such a magazine will teach you to remember the things and events that happen to you and that make you happy.
For example, a modern person without a feeling of gratitude, even getting a very desirable, for example, a cool foreign car, knows how to enjoy it at all - two or three days, and then drives it with the same bored and dissatisfied look as before in the Zhigulenka. A gratitude journal, kept in short and concise phrases, is the best way to acquire the unique spiritual skill of Gratitude.
Mental gratitude
This is the most difficult, but very necessary and productive part of the work - to learn in your soul to thank everything and everyone in this life. Woke up in the morning - and first of all, thank God (the Universe) for giving you one more day of life, remember the best moments of yesterday and thank Destiny, Life for the minutes of happiness you have been given.
And then we learn gratitude for every hour, for every minute. For example, we have prepared for ourselves your favorite Ceylon tea and thank in your soul everyone who was involved in this, for example, the rural workers of Sri Lanka, who raised and collected it for you. Get on the tram - and thank the driver from the bottom of your heart, who is taking you to work or university, and so on.
And finally, a little advice: find a little patience in yourself and show maximum perseverance. As a rule, people notice the first positive results from this practice after a few days, after a month your life will be transformed, and after three you will no longer imagine how you can live without gratitude, without this sun of joy, which is much brighter and warmer. than the usual light in the sky. Unfortunately, a common man in the street rarely notices him, but he often dreams of a magic wand, not even suspecting that she is very close …
