Introduction
Most people in today's world suffer with anxiety, phobias, illnesses, depression,
stress and so on... They complain about all the bad, by which they create even
more bad, not even realizing how much they have to be grateful for. By this book I
intend to show you just how much good there is all around you and lift your spirit
up. I wish to teach you to be grateful even for the little blessings that you receive
everyday. How can you ever be happy if you constantly complain about everything
and never realize the good? Our purpose in life is to be happy. We were all born
happy because when we were small we lived in a magical world where all was
possible. It's only as we started to grow up we got introduced to a thing we call
'reality' that took the magic away. But the thing that many people don't know, is
that you choose your own reality, you create it.You can choose to be happy right
now and start attracting good things to your life.

I hope this book will make you happy and help you have a positive outlook on life.
Chapter 1
Is the glass half full or half empty?
That's how you know if you are a positive or a negative thinker. Positive people
aren't living in their dream world, they are quite capable of seeing the world in arealistic way. However they just choose to look at life from a different perspective.
They choose to focus on the good and as a result of that they are more grateful,
happier and live a more fulfilled life.
It has even been scientifically proven that positive thinking lowers stress levels,
attracts better circumstances into your life and motivates you to do your best in
whatever task.
Positive thinking can improve every aspect of your life, so why carry oncomplaining and being unhappy when you can do the opposite? Choose to be
grateful and be happy!
You might be thinking, what has positive thinking got to do with gratitude? And
the answer is everything! When you are grateful for anything in your life right now
or something that has already happened, you are being positive. As well as that, if
you are feeling the gratitude you are bringing more good opportunities and
experiences into your life.
I read many self-help books out there that tell you to be grateful and to think
positive, but many of them don't teach you how. They don't tell you what to be
grateful for or how to think in a positive way which is the most important thing to
know. This book I wrote is more about the 'how?' than about the 'what?' and it is so
simple that even a child could understand it.

In the chapters below you will find my list of 100 amazing things most people can
be grateful for and also the reasons why you should be grateful for them.
There will also be a number of gratitude activities that you can do as often as you
want, when you're feeling negative, to get you back to focusing on the good andattracting more of the good.
This will be followed by 30 inspirational quotes one for each day of the month.
Last thing will be the conclusion in which everything will be repeated in even
simpler terms, so there is no way you won't understand exactly what to do.
Chapter 2
There are many ways to be positive. You can be creative with this and have fun
with it. I am going to give you a few examples just to help you out a little.
Laugh.
A positive person laughs and smiles a lot. Laughing and smiling on its own makes
you happier, helps think in a more positive way and naturally relives stress and
tension.
How?
Watch a comedy and just laugh till you cry. Spend time with your friends telling
each other jokes, or watch your pet or baby being silly with a toy. The more you
laugh and smile the better. Life is better when you're laughing.
Go to nature.

A lot of people spend most of their time on technology these days and they aren't
to blame. Technology can be fun and it definitely makes life so much easier in
many ways, but the worrying truth is that it mostly prevents you from actually
living your life. Take a nice relaxing trip to nature and take time to connect with it.
How?
Observe all the beautiful things around you. Think about how beautiful nature is,
smell the flowers, watch the animals living their lives, feel the green grass like a
carpet under your feet, feel the gentle wind blowing through your hair and enjoy
each moment. Say thank you for each of the lovely things you see or experience
during this trip. You will no doubt notice yourself feeling happier and less stressed
after.
Exercise.
Another thing people lack these days and then wonder why they have so many
physical and psychical problems. Exercise is very healthy for your body and mind.
It also enables you to be in the moment. When you do exercise such as yoga, you
concentrate on your body, the way you're moving it which is very calming and you
haven't got the time to complain, stress or be thinking negatively. Yoga calms you
down and soothes your soul. There are countless benefits of regular exercise
including higher productivity, higher energy levels, better sleep, healthier body,stronger immune system, peace of mind and less stress just to list a few. No matter
how inflexible you think you are, do some yoga.
How?
Try these 5 yoga poses you can do every morning and watch your health improve.
1. Stand up straight and stretch your arms upwards as much as you can
standing on your tip toes. Hold for about 10 seconds and then bend forward
exhaling, towards your knees as close as you can. Hold for 20 seconds.
2. Come back up and stretch upwards for 10 seconds again and then bend
backwards inhaling, as much as your body will allow you, aiming for or touching
the back of your legs, and hold for 20 seconds.
3. Come back up and stretch to the sides. One hand on your hip and the other
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy

arm going over your head in the opposite direction while exhaling. Hold for 10
seconds and do the same with the other side.
4. Kneel down, hold your arms in front of you and move your head down
trying to touch your knees while exhaling. Stay in this position for 20 seconds.
5. Lay down on your back and keeping your legs straight, move them as far up
and towards your head as you can. When you get to your limit stop there and hold
for 20 seconds.
And that's it! The simple side of yoga.
Meditate.
As well as exercise there are also countless benefits to meditation. It's really not a
hard thing to do at all and the benefits it can have are miraculous. Meditation is
100% mind. It doesn't have to take up large amounts of time either. Simply put
meditation could be explained as your time to relax, be aware of your thoughts and
make sure they are positive. So make sure you do some.
How?
Try this simple relaxing meditation. Sit in a comfortable place with your legs
crossed and your eyes closed. Let go of any stress you might have within you just
for now. Just for now feel completely relaxed, like the weight of the world was
lifted off your shoulders. Imagine yourself in paradise, whatever that might look
like for you. If it's a tropical one, a winter one or another one, doesn't matter at all.
Be in that perfect place and imagine yourself doing the things you love doing or
the things you wish you could do. Concentrate on this imagination and make it feel
as real as possible. Feel the happiness, excitement and peace that you would feel as
if you were actually in perfect, carefree place. Stay in this feeling for as long as
you wish. When you feel like it's the time to stop, slowly get back by clearing your
mind of all things and slowly opening your eyes.
Count the good things.
The blessings can be as little or as big as you want. After each one think about why
you are grateful for that particular thing. Counting your blessings puts you in a
positive state of mind, helps you realize your blessings and instantly improves your
-

mood. It is impossible to think about things you are grateful for while being
negative. I often find that when I focus on the good things in my life, I keep
finding more and more to be grateful for. Make a list of your blessings.
How?
Make the lists on paper, on your computer, or in your mind every day. For example
"I am so grateful for my dinner today, because it was tasty, it filled me up and gave
my body energy and the needed nutrition. I even had it made for me and I am
really grateful to that person. Millions of people in the world are starving and I am
so blessed to have such a delicious meal."
Chapter 3
This is a very good practical with many psychical benefits. However, you have to
honestly feel thankful for there to be visible changes in your life. Listing the
reasons why you are grateful or thinking about why you are grateful in your mind
helps you do this. Making lists of things to be grateful for is an amazing way to be
positive and make sure you are focusing on positive things. List things that make
you happy, activities that you love doing, moments that made you smile and what
you are truly thankful for. This exercise requires you to think positively in order to
identify things you are truly grateful for. Below there is a list of 100, I made it in
about an hour with things that just came to my mind then. Even you can be grateful
for the same things on that list or change it around. You can make your own or use
mine and feel the gratitude for the blessings in your life. 100 things may seem like
too much at first, but once you get into that grateful attitude you realize thatpicking 100 things to be grateful for from your wonderful life is really too little. If
you get stuck, which can happen, look around you. What can you see that you like?
Notice things you usually take for granted like the air you breathe 24/7, or the
bright blue sky, a gift you received from a loved one. The possibilities are truly
endless.

Chapter 4
In this chapter you will find methods that I made and use to be grateful for specific
areas of my life.
Method 1 - Mirror Practical
Many people are unhappy with the way they look and only concentrate of the
things they hate about themselves. In this exercise we are going to do the exact
opposite and focus on things you like/love about yourself.
Look in the mirror. Look at yourself carefully from head to toe. Notice your good
features and don't hesitate to compliment yourself on them. E.g. say (your name)
you have very nice hair!"
Notice the features you perhaps don't like as much about your body as well. But
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy
14/30
instead of bullying yourself about them look at them and notice they aren't even as
bad and realize that it could be much worse.
Stop comparing and judging yourself based on the ideals of beauty. Take the time
to think about that no one is perfect but everyone is special and beautiful in theirown way. There isn't one single meaning of beautiful or good looking. Different
people find different things attractive and that's the beauty of it. Remember
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" what you dislike about yourself might be
the adorable flaw someone loves about you.
If there is something that really bothers you on the other hand, think about ways
that you could change it and make it better. Because no matter what people say, the
way you feel about yourself has a huge effect on your happiness. You can't be
happy in life unless you love yourself or are at peace with your appearance.
Method 2 - Nice People Practical
This is a bit of a meditation. It can be as long or as short as you wish it to be. Sit
down in a comfortable spot and close your eyes. Relax, calm your mind and
monitor your thoughts for a while.
Start thinking about random acts of kindness that people have helped you with inthe past. It could have just been a stranger on the street that helped you pick up
your shopping when you dropped your bag. Someone that gave you a smile when
you were having a bad day. A hug from a friend when you were upset. Someone
offering to lend you something. Etc. Etc.
Go back to when these things happened, and imagine them, see them as if they
were happening all over again. At the end of each one smile to yourself and say
thank you to that person. In your mind or out loud but make sure your eyes are still
closed.
When you have done as many as you want or as many as you can remember, sit
and just relax for a while still thinking positive thoughts as you slowly open your
eyes.
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy
15/30
Method 3 - Amazing Family Practical
Think about your family and answer these questions in your mind in as much detail
as possible.
Why do I love my family?
What do I appreciate most about (name a family member)?
What would life be like without my family?
What are the most amazing things my family had given to me/done for me?
Take as much time as you need for this because it's important that you realize how
much your family has done for you.
Then repeat the below words in your mind or out loud.
"Thank you mum and dad for giving life to me and raising me. Thank you for
making sure I always had clothes and shoes to wear, food to eat and a roof over my
head. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and forgiving me each time I made
a mistake. Thank you for your patience and support for all these years."
"Thank you (siblingsnames) for keeping me company and making life more
interesting and loving me"
The point of this and many methods in this book is to make you realize something
you usually take for granted and develop a positive attitude because of it.
Method 4 - Gratitude Letter Practical
Write a gratitude letter to yourself. Start it with "I am truly happy and grateful......"
Outline all good things that happened in the past month. You might have went on atrip; had a really relaxing, long, hot bath; spent a nice weekend with friends;
brought a new book; made a new friend; got a bonus from work; received a gift
and so on. Anything positive that happened you should definitely acknowledge and
write down.

3. Think of your home and all the homeless people that would love to live in
one just like that
4. Think of the food you eat every day and of all the starving people in third
world countries that would be so happy to have food
5. Think of your pay cheque that you receive on the same day every month,
how happy would the poor be with that kind of money?
6. Think of everything that you buy with money that helps you out and makes
your life easier or more comfortable
7. Realize how lucky and blessed you are
8. Motivate yourself that you are able to make even more money and enjoy life
more
9. Think how fortunate you are and ways you could help those less fortunate
This should provide you with a bit more insight into the big picture of the world
and realize how fortunate you are. It should also make you want to help out people
that need it. Helping out in any way, shape or form is an act of kindness, act of
love, a positive act.
Method 6 - Health Gratitude Practical
Health is what people take for granted the most. It is also the most important thing,
if you don't have health you don't have anything, or whatever else you have is
pointless because you can't enjoy it.
Do a similar exercise with this as you did with money. Imagine all the people that
suffer from various illnesses and diseases and then see yourself. Healthy body
being able to walk and with everything functioning properly as it should. Feel that
gratitude for your health. Write "THANK YOU THAT I AM HEALTHY" with big
bold letters on an A4 sheet of paper, fold it and then unfold it and look at it, read it
and feel very grateful for it many times a day.

Chapter 5
Love yourself
"Self-love, my liege, is not as vile a sin as self-neglecting."
- William Shakespeare
Loving yourself is one of the most important things, as you can never be trulyhappy if you don't. Don't listen to the people saying that it's being vain because it
isn't. Loving yourself to a certain extent is good and healthy for you and everyone
should do it. No one can achieve great things without loving themselves. If you
don't love yourself you don't think that you deserve good things because your mind
is subconsciously telling you "What are you doing? That won't work and you don't
deserve it anyway." Without self-love you won't let yourself feel happy and have a
good life.
You need to get your subconscious mind to motivate your efforts by saying "Youcan do this, you deserve all the good things in the world!"
To learn to love yourself you need to get to know your true self by spending time
alone, meditating and just thinking about all that you have been through.
How old are you? Try to list as many things as you have lived years that you are
proud of yourself for.
-To help you with this think about all the things and hard times you have been
through in your life. For example a financial crisis that you got out of.
-How many things you managed to sort out and overcome. For example arguments
with people and relationships preserved despite them.
-Any achievements that you are proud of. For example starting your own,
successful part time business or getting good grades in your exams when you were
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy

at school.
Think of each individual year of your life. There must have been something major
that you achieved your job now is to find it and be proud of yourself.
There are also two other very good ways to start loving yourself unconditionally
and completely that I'm going to share with you.
Pamper yourself
How much time do you actually spend doing this? We all eat food we like and go
to sleep at night when we get tired but that isn't pampering.
Make time for yourself. Maybe you could select one day after work or on the
weekend to be your 'pamper day'.
Make sure you have a few hours available for you to relax on your pamper day or
pamper time. And here are some relaxing suggestions on what you could do:
- Have a candle lit, hot and steamy, bubble bath. Just lay in it for about an hour
relaxing, enjoying the feel of the hot water on your bare body and playing around
with the bubbles. Or you could close your eyes and completely relax, letting go of
all the stress and tension you might have within you.
- Make yourself a nice, big, hot cup of herbal tea or coffee, and sip it while sitting
in your bed, wrapped up in blankets and reading your favorite book.
- Put on your favorite music, sing and dance along alone in your room and don't
worry about looking stupid. No one has to know and it is a wonderful way to boost
your happiness and lower your stress levels. In fact there is also evidence
supporting that when one listens to music they enjoy, it reduces anxiety and lowers
your blood pressure by the release of Endorphins which are chemicals that make
you feel good.
- Do gardening. Forget the gloves and get your hands dirty! Get rid of the weeds
and focus on the wellbeing of your herbs/vegetables/flowers or whatever you're
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy

growing. Gardening has countless physical and psychical benefits as many studies
over the years have shown. It connects you with nature, reduces stress, and
improves self-esteem and mood. Also being outside when it's sunny boosts your
vitamin D levels which has protecting effects against a number of illnesses and
diseases. Most people are vitamin D deficient. This is pampering as you are doingsomething that you know is good for you and has a calming effect on your mind.
Also hopefully you will enjoy taking care of your plants and naturally develop a
stronger, loving, nurturing connection with your plants any yourself.
- Buy yourself your favorite sweets and eat them while watching a film you love.
- Take care of your body by moisturizing your skin, shave your legs and have a
nice deep cleaning facial mask. And yes you can still do this if you are a guy.
My definition of pampering is an enjoyable, relaxing activity that is good for your
body and soul.
Give yourself attention and lovingly care for your body. Spoil yourself from time
to time. It will all build yourself love as you will find out how good it feels.
"Embrace and love your body, it is the most amazing thing you will ever
own." - Unknown
Make others happy
Ever experienced that type of satisfaction, proudness and fulfillment when you
made someone happy? If yes that's great and if no it is time to do so!
Here are some things you could do to make someone happy. It will have an impact
on your happiness as well, guaranteed!
-
8/13/2019 Anyone Can Be Happy

- When you say hello or good morning do it from the heart. Look the person in the
eyes and smile while saying it.
