A psychologist shared tips that will help make life bright and happy.
The methods were revealed by a practicing psychologist with 30 years of experience, PhD and author of books Jeffrey Bernstein.
The expert named 3 important but simple steps that will make any person at least a little happier. The psychologist shared his opinion in an article for Psychology Today magazine.
The right attitude
Many people see behind the phrase "positive attitude" only ignoring problems and "forging" a smile. In fact, the psychologist's advice has nothing to do with this.
Bernstein doesn't recommend ignoring problems. But he does urge us to remember to look for the good in even the smallest details.
In some cases, a negative situation can be reframed and turned into a positive one.
Over 30 years of work, the psychologist has noticed that all happy people consciously avoid negativity whenever possible.
Communication and kindness
Happy people are more likely to be motivated to create strong relationships with their family and society as a whole.
They always receive emotional support and feel a sense of involvement and belonging.
And such people are also kind and generous to others. They do not skimp on gifts and are always ready to help.
The psychologist noted that acts of kindness create a positive feedback loop that creates a sense of purpose and fuels a sense of self-actualization.
Striving to become better
Happy people develop and become better. The doctor advises to perceive problems as a chance to learn something.
Bernstein emphasized that in the thinking of such people, life is a dynamic journey in which there is room for growth and improvement.
Previously, we talked about how to stop getting stuck in the past and start enjoying life today.
