You CAN consciously raise your happiness level

Where are you on the Happiness Scale? Be honest about your happiness level. If you are on the lower part of the happiness scale, here are some simple things you can do to bring more happiness into your life. When make these a habit, you will be amazed at how quickly they work and how your happiness increases.

1. Slow down and rejoice in life’s everyday pleasures. If you think you don’t have any little pleasures, then you aren’t looking. Every hour find 2 or 3 things (at a minimum, since you should have hundreds daily) to bring you happiness…a flower, a hummingbird, something someone says, a sunrise, the way the wind is blowing the trees, a child, the song of a bird, for example. It’s you who decides whether to be filled with awe or just go through your day with a hum-drum attitude and not pick up on the the things around you. Happiness is about finding joy in the moment.

2. Be forgiving of yourself. There will never be true happiness without this! Make peace with the little errors you make every day. Laugh at them and don’t take yourself so seriously. You’ll have a greater level of happiness if you aren’t stressed when you screw up. You’ll also be more successful in life because you won’t be afraid of making mistakes. When you are spontaneous and look at each adventure as a fun challenge instead of a worrisome situation, you’ll succeed more often with your goals. The adventure itself, will bring you happiness when you accomplish it with that attitude and the improved success rate will also raise your happiness level.

3.  Force a smile when you’re feeling down. Research shows smiling really does lift your mood and bring on happiness. It’s easier to smile when you focus on the positive things in your life than the negative ones. When you smile on the outside, research shows that you also smile on the inside. When your smile muscles are engaged,  your mental and emotional attitude is being improved. It’s a neuro-muscular reflex that causes smiling to create happiness..so fake it ’till you make it. Doesn’t it just make sense, if you have happiness, you’ll have a smile?
