How to be Happy in 7 Days - My Guaranteed Happiness Formula

Be in the moment
The happiest person is the one enjoying the moment - be it sipping tea, walking in the drizzle, doing your work, enjoying the sunset or playing with the kids or the pet.
Immerse yourself completely and your experience and awareness will raise beyond unimaginable heights. Your capacity to learn and perform is dramatically upped when you do this. Life offers a thousand moments everyday, just that you're missing it in the anxiety of waiting for something big or worrying about the future.

Be aware of your expectations
They can kill the spirit inside you. Aspire for the best but don't let expectations bog you down and make you under perform. Give 100 percent to everything you take up and push beyond the boundaries of your capability. Mere expectations, without effort, is like sitting on a bike with no fuel. You have to push to make things happen. Try and you'll be surprised by the results and the capacity in you. Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.

Hug and kiss nature
We were created to coexist in our surroundings and therefore you can be happy only if you live the fragrance of flowers, the shade of the trees, the joy of the gushing waters, the beauty of the sunset...

Lend help to those who need, doesn't matter if they don't seek
We are given two hands so that we could help people around us. Be emphathetic, be aware and care for others. It's most fulfilling and happiness will pervade your being.

When you see the tree, become the tree
Learn to rise above your circumstances and your experience. Don't see the world through filters of your experience or capability. By just being aware of how you react and behave, you will soon understand why you do what you do. That awareness will help you overcome the filters.

Don't judge, don't be judged
See people fresh every time you meet them. Not through the previous experience. Give them an opportunity to make mistakes and learn. Forgive them, it's healing. Don't react to opinions. You can't be weak to let opinions hurt you. Stay still, stay calm.

These are fundamental things which have kept me happy, full of "Josh", devoid of negativity and mood swings. I like like a child. You too can.
