How to be happy every time
Mood swings – It is probably the most common term used by the Millenials. Irrespective of age, we use it within and out of context. Despite the situations in our life, we need to be happy. Sadness and anger have been underplayed or probably overplayed by us as two negative traits which humans should never feel. We forget the truth that these are human emotions, and as humans, we are naturally supposed to feel them. But, we want to know how to be happy every time. Why?
- Happiness is overhyped
- Need for instant gratification
- Social media influence

These are some of the numerous reasons why we are sold on the thought that being happy always is what we need. It gives us a feeling that by doing some gimmicks, we can immediately start feeling happy and content. However, only a minority provides us with a reality check. Being happy is a slow and steady process to attain by exercising happiness.
