A happiness, a concept so well-known and at the same time so mysterious, has been the subject of reflection for years. From ancient philosophers to the most recent neuroscientists, everyone has tried to decipher its essence.
Although there is no universal definition, happiness can be seen as the search for fulfillment, that is, the ability to feel good even in the face of life's challenges.

A Positive Psychology, a field that focuses on the study of well-being and happiness, offers valuable lessons on how to find and achieve happiness. Check out!
1. Define your own happiness
Often, we don't stop to think about what makes us happy. Establishing what this feeling means to you is the first step towards achieving it.
Recognizing and verbalizing your sources of happiness is the beginning of seeking more experiences that will bring you to this state. Therefore, understand what happiness is for you.
2. Cultivate self-knowledge
Happiness is subjective and personal. To find it, you need to know yourself, identifying your strengths and virtues. To increase your chances of living a happy life, it is essential to align your attitudes with your goals.
3. Practice gratitude
Take a moment every day to reflect on what you are grateful for and express your appreciation, whether through words or actions. This simple exercise can have a significant impact on your happiness.

4. Take care of your relationships
Human beings are social animals, therefore relationships positives are fundamental to happiness.
While we can't always choose our relationships, we can choose how we interact with them. So cultivate relationships that make you feel good.
5. Practice self-care
Take time to take care of yourself, whether it's taking a moment to relax, getting a little more sleep on Sundays, taking care of your appearance or doing activities that bring you joy. Self-care is an act of self-love.
6. Live the present
Learning to live fully in the moment, without clinging to the past or worrying too much about the future, is fundamental to the search for plenitude.
7. Get therapy
Finally, if possible, do therapy. This is one of the best ways to get to know yourself, which strengthens your journey towards happiness!
And remember: it is a personal and unique journey, so it is in your hands to shape it according to your life preferences.
Positive Psychology can only offer valuable guidance, but the search for this state is an individual journey.
