How to be happy being yourself?

        Some people may think it's impossible to be happy being yourself or being single. Some times its easy to wish you looked like or acted like someone else, or wished to have the same life like others have. However, until you learn to accept who you are and work to address your flaws, you'll never grow as a person. Once you follow these tips, you'll find that being happy with being yourself isn't as hard as you think.

Being Happy with Who You Are

1.Be confident. Being confident about who you are is the first step to happiness. Recognizing what you love about yourself first will make you much happier to be in your own skin. Start by making a list of all of the things you love about yourself, whether it's your attitude, your talent or even your nose.

Here are some ways to improve your confidence:  

• Think of the compliments you get. If people are always telling you that you're a great friend, or admiring your ability, take it as a compliment and you should be happy for it.
• Appreciate what makes you unique. How good you are in singing or art making using unique craft, appreciate whatever skills or quality that you have and be thankful for your uniqueness.
• Find at least ten things you like about yourself. Because after listing down the thing you like about yourself, you will then realize that you are still a luck person, because you have those things in your self.
• Minimize your insecurities. Everyone is insecure about something, but if you find yourself insecure about absolutely everything about yourself, you're probably filling yourself with anxiety for no reason. Make a list of all the things that make you insecure and examine which ones are just plain silly.

2. Be aware of your imferpections. Confidence is the key to happiness, but if you're so confident that you don't recognize where there's room for improvement, you won't be seeing your real self and may be an unpleasant person to be around. 

Here are some ways to be real about who you are:

• Accept constructive criticism. If someone is rude or just plain cruel about your not-so-great qualities, you don't have to listen. But if your friend, parent, or even your coworker suggests that you need to work on a certain aspect of yourself, such as your listening skills or your attention to detail, listen with an open mind.
• Learn to laugh at yourself. Nobody's perfect, and if you can join your friends when they tease you for your weaknesses, such as your untidiness, or for always being late you'll show that you don't take yourself too seriously.
• Forgive yourself. Let's face it—we've all done something we're less than proud of. Maybe you said something really cruel to a friend, cheated on your boyfriend or girlfriend, or made a major mistake at work. Whatever you did, you should recognize that it was wrong and understand why you did it, but after that, it's time to let it go. If you're so hung up on your past mistakes, you won't be able to focus on the future.

3. Be grateful. Never forget how lucky you are to be you. If you spend so much time preoccupying about your imperfections and things you want to change, you'll never be fully happy just being yourself. 

Here are some ways to be grateful:

• Appreciate your health. If you're a healthy person who doesn't have health problem issues, be grateful! There are many people whose lives revolve around their poor health, and if you're not one of them, don't forget how lucky you are.
• Be generous. Volunteer in your community for some outreach programs, by giving a little share of blessings to the less fortunate people. You can also be a generous friend, son/daughter, sibling, or spouse by doing nice things for the important people in your life.
• Always say thank you. You should always say "thank you," for every one who did favor to you regardless how big or small things it is.

4. Don't forget to laugh—-ever. Laughter is the best remedy for all infirmities, and you should always leave some room for laughter in your daily life. No matter how horrible your life may seem at a given moment, never forget to take a break to laugh. It will not only feel you better, but you'll live longer.
