Some people will always be unhappy because they are negative people. They lack the ability to look at a situation and see the good in it. When presented with a challenge or critique they see it as a sign that they’re doing something wrong, not an encouragement to do better.

Some people are grumpy because it’s easier sometimes to be grumpy. It seems to take less energy. Once you start being grumpy everyone expects you to be grumpy so then you have less expectations to live up to. It can make for an easy life.

Everything in the news at the moment seems designed to depress us. Even people whose jobs are not affected by the economic climate still seem to be grumpy. It’s almost as if you’re made to feel bad for being happy at the moment.

If you are in a job the chances are your boss is using the recession as an excuse to get longer hours and harder work out of you, often with no extra financial compensation for it, by holding the threat of redundancy over your head. Now that’s enough to make anyone unhappy.

The best ways to tackle these negative feelings are through getting yourself in a positive frame of mind in the morning, lots of exercise and time outside in the sun, and socialising with people who make us happy.

So of us are just unhappy and grumpy because we’re waiting for the sun to shine!!!!!
