This is a really complicated question. Because in normal times, I might be able to easily say how to find peace, how to stay positive, or how to keep myself happy. But when life gets tough, it becomes much harder to follow those words in my own life. Still, I think that if you believe and follow some things, it is possible to get through tough times a little easier.
The most important thing for me is to remember that no situation in human life is permanent. Just as happiness is not permanent, neither is sadness. When I find myself in a difficult situation, I try to convince myself that this time will also end one day. Maybe everything seems dark because of today's problems, but better times can come again. This thought helps me to stay mentally strong.
I find it very important to have faith in Allah. Asking for help from Him in difficult times, praying, supplicating, and focusing on worship gives me inner peace. Not all problems can be solved immediately, but trusting in Allah gives me the strength to accept the situation and be patient. For me, religious faith is a great source of mental strength not only in good times, but also in difficult times.
In addition, spending time with family members or good friends is also very beneficial, not leaving myself alone during difficult times. Sharing my thoughts with close people reduces my mental stress. Sometimes a good advice from them, and sometimes just the feeling of being by my side can be a great relief.
I also try to find small things to enjoy during difficult times. Such as going for a walk outside, seeing nature, taking pictures, doing something I like, or spending some time on my own. These may not solve any big problems, but they lighten my mind a little.
Finally, for me, happiness does not always mean being free from problems. Rather, the real thing is trying to stay calm even in the face of problems, being patient, and not losing hope for something good. When life is difficult, I remind myself This time too will pass one day.
