Dr Raj Raghunathan happiness researcher published an article on well-being in The Guardian newspaper.
Here I show 5 activities based on the article that can be actively carried out to increase your well-being and become happy again.
1. Striving for balance in order to increase happiness
The ideal state would be if we could balance and experience all areas of our lives to an adequate extent.
Let’s make a list of what makes you happy. These can be activities, people, or objects too. If the list has been made, number them from least to most fulfilling.
You can even place this list in a visible place in your house so that if you have negative feelings, you’ll immediately know what to do.
2. Assuming responsibility
Dr. Raj Raghunathan emphasizes that we are the forgers of our own happiness; we actively are able to increase our mood in order to feel a little better at any given moment.
Doing sports or other physical activities, and eating healthy food is our primary happiness source, so let’s include these as well on our daily to-do list.
3. Avoiding comparison to increase happiness
Watching other people’s happiness and success, and comparing it to our own, of course, doesn’t make anyone happy. If you really want to compare, then let’s compare past accomplishments to the present and remember our successes or show self-love.

4. Search for the flow
The term flow is attributed to Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. This state arises when we forget about our activities, lose track of time, and focus on our loved activity. We are fully experiencing the present moment, we experience mini-happiness.
5. Trust strangers to become happy
Trust is a positive feeling that contributes to our well-being. The author suggests that we talk to happy strangers on the street, and in the store. Let’s be open to trust people!
What do you do to feel good about yourself? What makes you feel happier?
