Everyone Likes A Jolly Good Fellow; See The 6 Quick Tips On How To Become Jolly Always

Achievements are limitlessly satisfying, but being a 'cock-a-hoop' is not what we have in mind while talking about a jolly good fellow. To be in perspective, a jolly good fellow is a person who is always happy and cheerful, always full of good humour and jovial. Someone once said; ''Hurting people hurt people''. Conversely one could argue that ''happy people dispense cheer and happiness''.

The bottomline is, ''you can't give what you don't have''. So if you wanna have folks coming back to you, you better be a jovial fellow. People love happy people!

Here are 6 tips on how to become loveable


1. Be positive always:

The truth is that life without challenges is unexistent. Life is full of ups and downs. As a matter of fact, it’s impossible to have a challenge-free life, but your attitude makes all the difference with how you respond to life’s challenges. Thinking positively means approaching difficulties with a positive outlook. It doesn’t mean you avoid or push away unpleasant experiences, but that you see the best in situations.

Thinking positively means reminding yourself that negative events are temporary and opportunities to learn and grow. Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects, look for ways to learn from each situation. Check anyone who ever achieved or made a mark in life, you will notice a strain of continued positive pattern of thinking.

2. Be present:

One can be so engrossed in activities that he begins to neglect those things that rally matter. In all honesty, your body is always in the moment but your mind can be in the past, present or future.

If you feel disconnected from yourself or others, practice directing your thoughts and attention to the present moment. Use your senses to bring you back, one by one: tune in to the sounds you hear, even the things you tend to tune out. Use your eyes and look around. Notice any smells. It’s not important to label what you experience, just experience it.

3. Be contented:

 It’s easy to get caught up in consumerism; believing that next thing (spouse, car, house, purse, shoes) will make you happy. People that are wealthy and have an excess of money do not report higher levels of happiness.

 Make sure your monetary basic needs are met, and much of the excess beyond fulfilling your basic needs will eventually become meaningless to your life. Feel content with what you have and learn to not be in want for things you do not have. Eschew envy of any sort. ''You are you and can never be Mr.X'', so the early you'd appreciate this fact, the better and happier you'd become. Don't believe everything you see on social media. As a matter fact, studies has shown that social media posts has effected most mood swings more than real life experiences in recent decades.

4. Choose a life of gratitude:

Gratitude is #Key. Learning to appreciate the big and the little things in life can have a profound impact on your life. Get in the habit of saying “thank you” often. Giving gratitude doesn’t just make you feel good, it can positively influence your physical and psychological health and boost your self-esteem.

When you feel a negative thought coming on, notice it, and then replace it with something you are grateful for. You may be surprised how quickly your mood can positively change! Yaay! You'd try it out...helps a great deal.

5. Avoid dwelling in the past. 

Maybe something went down that you regret, or you wonder if you could have done something differently, well....''There is no changing the past, but you can change the future''. Don’t allow yourself to enter the non-existent time warp. Ruminating on past events can lead to a cycle of negative thoughts, depression and anxiety. Instead, use the situation to problem solve any future problems and reflect on how you can respond differently.

Let go of what’s out of your own control. Ask yourself what you can change (if anything). If you can’t change anything, let it go. If you can change things, determine what can be changed and how you will handle it. When reflecting in the past, don’t just rely on negative self-evaluations. Also remember what you have done well and when you have responded positively.

6. Learn to manage your stress daily:

While you can’t stop the bills or halt the work or school deadlines, you can learn to manage your reaction to daily stressors in a healthy way. By practicing stress management every day, you can address stress daily instead of letting it pile up. Do things that help your mind and body relax.
Practice regular restorative yoga, meditation, and relaxation. Use daily progressive muscle relaxation. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, and relax your body.

I #guess all these will go a long way in making you a happier person. A person whom everyone would love to identify with. Cheers!
