A simple mindset shift can go a long way. Boost Your Happiness!


1. Maintain a positive and optimistic outlook. Encountering negative events in life is normal. Understand that they don’t define you; do your best to find the silver lining, and counter negative thoughts with positive ones.

2. Focus on what you can control. So many people worry about what is beyond their control. Take action rather than being a victim of circumstance and your own negative thinking.

3. Surround yourself with happy people. Happy people tend to be supportive, warm and giving. These qualities will encourage you to be happy too.

4. Enjoy your work. Most people spend one-third of their day working. Those who enjoy their jobs and find it stimulating and meaningful look forward to going to work every day rather than dreading it. Find a career that will allow you to do the same and pay the bills.

5. Have a life outside of work and change how you view money. That’s right, be less focused on money and more on time. It wasn’t more money that they wanted at the moment, rather it was time. Value it and strike a healthy balance between work and the other parts of your life.

6. Be flexible. Know that even the best laid plans sometimes don’t always go as hoped. Being able to adjust to change will help prevent disappointment.
7. Sleep healthy, eat healthy and move. Sleep restores vital bodily functions; eating provides nutrients that keep the body and mind functioning; and moving keeps us in shape and releases key endorphins that ease depression and enhance mood. 8. Let go of grudges. Holding them allows anger and resentment to fester and prevents happiness from flourishing. 9. Cultivate and nurture social relationships. People derive great pleasure and delight from others. 10. Experience life. Do you remember material items you had years ago or things you experienced? My guess is the latter. It’s these that have a lasting place in our memories, not material items. Value them because they’re much more likely to lead to happiness than possessions ever could.
Go out there and experience many things: trips, activities, people, classes, learning, food, culture and whatever adventures you can create.
