5 Tips To Be Happier

Would you like to be happier this instant? The good news is that happiness is within reach every second of the day. You don’t need to be richer, thinner or have the latest gadgets and toys to be happy. Happiness is a state of mind. It’s a choice that you make every day and a by-product of your daily habits. Happy people are more successful than their peers, enjoy stronger social connections and deal with stress better than others. Are you ready to be happier? Start right this instant with these tips:

Choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice we make every day. When you wake up in the morning, be excited to see what the day will bring. If problems arise, see them as challenges meant to strengthen your resolve not as insurmountable obstacles. Each moment you’re presented with an opportunity to be happy—seize that opportunity.

Adopt a happy attitude. Some people seem to have been born with a happy disposition. They smile readily and can inject positivity and optimism into any situation. But, happiness isn’t genetic. It takes practice, time and a change in perspective to achieve a happy attitude. According to happiness expert, Shawn Achor, “If the brain can be imprinted with a negative pattern, it can be imprinted with a positive pattern.” Work to reprogram your brain to think positively and you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of a happier disposition.

Practice every day. Happiness takes commitment. Whether you read a positive affirmation throughout the day, keep a gratitude journal or constantly fight negative thoughts with positive ones, make an effort to assume and maintain a happy, positive attitude.
