7 Great Happiness Tips

Happiness Tip No 1: Smile. Raise the corners of your mouth. Soon your smile will become genuine. The smile that begins as an effort and a pretense quickly grows to become genuine, and given time, a habit of happiness. In the words of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh,

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the sense of your Joy”


Happiness Tip No 2: Forgive someone for something right now. Release the resentment and anger. This practice is for you to become happier. Telling the other person that you forgive them is completely optional, and is merely a bonus.

Happiness Tip No 3: Stretch your body. Do yoga, do qigong, or just stand and stretch. As a simple stretch, stand and hold your arms out to your sides forming a cross. Gently bend each hand back at the wrist until the fingers point straight upward. Twist each hand and arm in a wringing motion.Oh, another thing, Don't compare your life to others,
You have no idea what their journey is all about J

Happiness Tip No 4: Be of service. Find someone who has worse troubles than you and do something nice for them today. .......

Happiness Tip No 5: Turn on happy music and dance. Don't stop 'til you're tired. Dance with someone or dance all by yourself. Choose music that makes you want to move and keep moving such as Latin Fitness Dance music.Have you tried a Zumba Dance class yet?
Happiness Tip No 6: Spend some time with a furry friend. If you don't have your own, borrow a cat or dog to love today....... (I love my dog :)

Happiness Tip No. 7: Take a quiet walk by yourself. Focus on each step and on your breathing. As stray thoughts enter your mind, thank each one, and quickly release the thought and return to a focus on your breathing and your steps. (PS If you are in London - Take an umbrella :) :)compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about. :)imes your smile can be the source of your joyimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
