1. 감사하고 긍정적으로 생각하기
모든 사람들이 운이 안 좋거나 기분이 안 좋을 때가 있을 것이다. 그럴 때는 부정적인 생각에 집중하는 것은 아무 도움이 안 된다. 그 대신 나에게 일어났던 기분 좋았던 일을 말로 표현하거나 글로 써보고 감사한 일도 생각해내라. 나 자신에게 긍정적으로 생각하고 고마운 마음가짐을 갖겠다고 약속하면 저절로 긍정적인 사람으로 변하게 될 것이다.
2. 몸과 정신이 신호를 보내면 듣기
우리 몸이 너무 지칠때 정신보다 몸이 우리에게 더 큰 신호를 보낸다. 근육 뭉침, 반복되는 꿈 등이 우리 몸에게는 적신호다. 이럴 때 신호를 무시하지 말고 스트레스를 주는 일을 피하는 것이 가장 좋고 안정한 방법이다.
3. 낯선 사람에게 웃어주기
미소는 다른 사람의 기분을 즉각적인 행복을 가져다준다. 연구결과에 의하면 미소 짓는 것은 자신의 기분을 좋게 한다. 다른 사람에게 미소를 짓는다면 나뿐만 아니라 상대방 기분까지 좋아질거니 일석이조다.
4. 나에게 친절해지기
자신의 외모, 능력 등을 포함하여 자신을 친절하게 대해야한다. 연구에 따르면 자기 자신을 인정해야지만 행복해질 수 있다. 그만큼 중요한 “약속”인데 사라들이 제일 행하지 않는 “약속”이기도 하다. 자기 자신을 지금보다 더 인정하고 친절하게 대하라.
5. 최선을 다하기
우리 자신에게 가장 가혹한 존재는 아무도 우리 자신일거다. 본인이 못하거나 부족한 것에 집중하기보다 자신이 잘 하는 것에 집중해라. 이런 애티튜드로 살아가면 다른 사람들도 더 향상된 관계를 자길 수 있을 것이다.

5 promises to yourself that you should keep
We often make commitments to ourselves or make a “to-do list” with all the things that we want to take on today. But we barely ever keep them. The Huffington Post revealed five important resolutions that people should keep.
1. Be grateful and positive
Everyone has a bad day or feels blue now and then. It’s no help thinking negatively in these moments. Rather, focus on positive moments you’re grateful for and write them down or describe them out loud. We can eventually become happy after promising ourselves to become a thankful and positive person.
2. Listen to what your body and mind have to say
If the body gets exhausted, “our bodies tend to scream louder than our minds.” “Tight muscles and recurring dreams” are signs of exhaustion. Don’t ignore these signs -- listen to them.
3. Smile to strangers
Smiling is an “instant wellness booster.” According to studies, smiling makes one happier. If you smile at other people, both you and the other person will get a happiness boost.
4. Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself. That includes how you treat yourself, including your abilities and appearance. Studies have revealed that “self-acceptance is paramount to a happier life.” In other words, it’s a key part of how you see the world and yourself, but not many people keep this fourth “promise.” Practice being kinder to yourself.
5. Give your best
Sometimes we’re our own harshest critics. Instead of focusing on “what we can’t,” focus on “what we can.” With this attitude, our relationships with other people will become more positive as well.
