You can easily and systematically raise your everyday level of happiness!

To be happier, everything you need is inside you:

  * Take ownership of your happiness. Focus on solutions instead of problems, find the gifts in life, and make peace with yourself.

  * Don’t believe everything your mind tells you. Question the validity of your thoughts, let go of thoughts that don’t serve you, and incline your mind toward joy.

  * Let love lead. Focus on gratitude, practice forgiveness, and spread lovingkindness. (This works as well in business as it does in your personal life.)

  * Make the cells of your body happy. Nourish your body, energize your body, and tune into your body’s wisdom.

  * Plug yourself into spirit. Invite connection to your higher power, listen to your inner voice, and trust life’s unfolding.

  * Live inspired by purpose. Find your passion, follow the inspiration of the moment, and contribute to something greater than yourself.

  * Cultivate nourishing relationships. Tend to your relationships so that they grow, surround yourself with support, and see the world as your family.

You don’t have to have happy genes, win the lottery, lose 20 pounds, or become a saint. Follow the steps, which help you adopt habits that most happy people have, and you will live in an authentic state of sustained happiness for the rest of your life.
