While experts have validated that depression and unhappiness are the leading causes of suicide among people (what other reasons would one readily think of?), it would be useful to embark on a deliberate journey in order to begin living in happiness, especially amidst  mountains of tasks to accomplish, maybe a couple of financial obligations, etc.

Also, Suicide.org (yes, there is such a website), has also published that the most common mental illness observed among people is depression. This means that whether it is deliberate, which we do not need any experts to tell us isn't the case.. unless they tell us that they have conducted a study which has revealed that people are setting out to lose happiness on purpose.

People seem to be struggling with happiness and so here are 5 habits that can be cultivated in order to begin easily helping the situation.

Active Constructive Responding

This refers simply to the ability to engage in a genuine exchange of thoughts with another person. People who cultivate close, meaningful friendships with others, as well as those who form the habit of expressing their genuine thoughts, tend to experience happiness more.

While people who have strong ties with friends and family, and have been committed to spending a quality time with them tend to be happier, it would be ill-advised to become needy and expect every strain of happiness to come from others. A lot of good can be done when we learn to engage ourselves in the things that spell happiness for us.

Acts Of Kindness

Still bordering on the things that help generate happiness, caring for others, which could mean volunteering to perform tasks, or to be a part of an organisation, can have its payment in happiness.

It takes a sense of reason and purpose beyond the things that stir thoughts of depression, i.e, the quest for survival, to volunteer to be a part of an organisation, usually for no immediate personal gain, and to perform acts of kindness for others as well.

Exercise

It would seem as though no conversation on health and life could be held without the topic of exercising, except, of course, the 'fat cutter' drinks that are surfacing everywhere recently...

The Cochrane Review has said, after multiple analyses that there is a connection between exercise and happiness. 

Put simply, the research follows recent discoveries made on the brain, linking the overconsumption and retention of excessive sugar to depression. Sugar refers to food, at least to a major extent, exercise burns excess sugars and fats, and there we have it. Happiness.

Meaningful Engagement

Instead of simply performing tasks, more happiness would be realised when one resolves to get things done out of a sense of understanding and belonging. It comes with an inner resolve that we are engaging in tasks that are needful and will be useful in meeting a need.

Use Of One's Strengths

Taking time to celebrate the area that we excel at can help supply some encouragement to take on new areas as well. Engaging in challenging activities that task us yet suit our skills is one good way to achieving this.

While progress is often recorded by pushing to expand the frontiers of our capabilities, appreciating the progress made so far can be a useful tool in realising happiness.
