How Do You Make Someone Happy

 How Do You Make Someone Happy

The first step in making someone happy is loving yourself. The second step to making someone happy is finding your happiness. You see, you will have a great deal of trouble making someone else happy if you're not happy.

Assuming you're happy, the following will put a smile on the face of someone you care about:

* Smile at them. A big smile is contagious. It's hard not to smile back when seeing someone's big smile. 

* When someone is giving you their "woe is me," change the subject and tell them about the great ham sandwich you had for lunch. You can also change the subject by asking them "what made you happy in the past. Giving them a "woe is me" back will never make them happy. "Misery loves company" is bullshit. No one wants to be miserable. 

* Surprise them with something. I don't mean give them something that costs a lot of money. The best surprises are something you know they love. Take them to the restaurant they always wanted to go. Give them flowers. Surprise them with a girls day out to a spa or surprise them with tickets to a ball game. I think you get the idea.

* Hug them. A really big hug is personal, loving and intimate. Every time you see someone you care for - hug them. Guess what, after a few hugs, they will hug you back. Maybe, they will like the hugs so much, they will hug you first. There is nothing negative about a hug.

* Complement them. The proverbial "pat on the back," will always make them happy. When someone has lost weight, make sure, they know, you notice. Always complement someone when first see them after a long time. Everyone has an ego. Some big - some small. Everyone loves hearing good things about them.

* Making them feel they matter. Never assume they know they matter in your eyes. Make a point to tell them they matter. When a person feels they matter their self-esteem is enhanced and that makes them very happy.

* Truly love them. If you truly love someone it will show in your eyes and body language. It's hard not to be happy when around someone that truly loves you.
