10 Sure-Fire Ways To Be Happy!

1. TREAT YOURSELF LIKE A CHILD The caring, the attention, the concern that you would give a small child, give that same attention to yourself.
2. CREATE MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS What gives you happiness depends on who you are. Do you enjoy a half hour of exercise? A few minutes of absolute quiet? An evening with a crowd of friends? Create those moments.
3. CLEAR OUT UNHAPPINESS What obstacles to happiness are there in your life? These can weigh you down. Avoid things that make you unhappy. See less of unpleasant people whenever possible.
4. KEEP A GRATITUDE JOURNAL Positive emotions create feelings of happiness. Optimism, hopefulness, curiosity and gratitude are part of the basket of emotions. Every day you can write down in your gratitude journal the things that you are grateful for.
5. SIMPLIFY! We are generally too busy, trying to squeeze in more and more activities into less and less time. Prioritise and simplify your life to make it stress-free.
6. BE SPONTANEOUS Take the opportunity to enjoy life as it happens. Be curious about life. Be inquisitive. Be amazed.
7. FIND WORK THAT YOU LOVE Find meaningful activities that give you a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment. Look in that direction for your career or your hobby.
8. PRACTISE BEING HAPPY Find activities that'll add a buzz of happiness to boost your mood throughout the week. Hang a funny cartoon on the door. Get a funny book to read. Play with your pet.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR APTITUDES? Examine your abilities and skills. Try out different activities. When your activities have meaning, you will find happiness. Concentrate deep in thought as you seek to understand that some things are, in itself, a pleasure.
10. HAVE A GOOD LAUGH! Going through the motions of a good rollicking laugh for no reason at all can easily chase stress and worries away.
