When most people talk about happiness, they might be talking
about how they feel in the present moment, or they might be referring to a more
general sense of how they feel about life overall.
Because happiness tends to be such a broadly defined term,
psychologists and other social scientists typically use the term 'subjective
well-being' when they talk about this emotional state. Just as it sounds,
subjective well-being tends to focus on an individual's overall personal
feelings about their life in the present.
Some key signs of happiness include:
1.
Feeling like you are living the life you wanted
2.
Feeling that the conditions of your life are good
3.
Feeing that you have accomplished (or will accomplish)
what you want in life
4.
Feeling satisfied with your life
5.
Feeling positive more than negative
Happy people still feel the whole range of human
emotions—anger, frustrastion, boredom, loneliness, and even sadness—from time
to time. But even when faced with discomfort, they have an underlying sense of
optimism that things will get better, that they can deal with what is
happening, and that they will be able to feel happy again.
When you find yourself stuck in a pessimistic outlook or
experiencing negativity, look for ways that you can reframe your thoughts in a
more positive way.
Simply because, People have a natural negativity bias, or a
tendency to pay more attention to bad things than to good things. This can have
an impact on everything from how you make decisions to how you form impressions
of other people.
