Happy people don’t find happiness like you’d find a penny on the ground; they make it happen, with action. Cultivating happiness habits can make a marked difference in your life.
• Be deliberately optimistic. Optimism is imperative to emotional wellness.
• Prioritize mindfully. Consistently align choices, intentions and actions with the top priorities of love, happiness and health.
• Keep uplifting resources on hand. A few surefire mood-lifters may include a green smoothie, mani-pedi and solo dance party to at least one get-your-feet-moving song by a favorite artist.
• Put yourself first. It’s the best way to bring your A game to everyone else.
• Be a prolific seeker. Seek beauty, joy, adventure, pleasure, growth and powerful meaning in all areas of life. Let life move you to possibility, opportunity and gratitude.
• Don’t make things personal. Absolutely nothing others say or do is about you, ever.
• Examine the worst that can happen. Many of the limitations you’re placing on yourself aren’t real—they’re illusions.
• Practice loving-kindness. Making this a habit changes the vibration of your life and the lives of those around you. Plus it feels great.
• Be aware of your energy. Tune in to surrounding energy, as well as the energy you’re emitting and notice what needs to be adjusted or abandoned.
• Be wary of media consumption. Limit messages in everything from email and news to books and music that take you away from the calm, open space within that revels in joy and wonder. Conversations count, too.
