Enjoy your own company. Embrace everything about you! Without a doubt, it&#8217;s the most important step towards being a happy person.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Smile, giggle, snicker, or chuckle!</strong> Smiling releases serotonin in the brain, which instantaneously gives your mood a lift.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Dream big in every area of life.</strong> Set your life in motion and manifest your heart&#8217;s desire.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Shut the doors and the windows tight!</strong> And then put on your favorite song and sing out loud. Let it rip!</p>
<p>5. <strong>Cook a healthy, delicious meal.</strong> Serve it up pretty and savor the flavor, one bite at a time.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Expect a miracle.</strong> Believe that something wonderful will happen for you today. The universe is waiting to shower happy blessings on you.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Meditate, pray and chant.</strong> Research shows that people who are spiritual tend to be happier and healthier than those who are not.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Pull up your best pair of warm socks.</strong> Wiggle your toes and enjoy a cozy kind of bliss.</p>
<p>9.<strong> Sleep baby sleep.</strong> Seven or eight hours each night should increase your energy and decrease your moodiness.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Count your blessings daily.</strong> Gratitude, the emotion of thankfulness, is one of the key ingredients for living a happy life. Make gratitude a habit and happiness will be yours.</p>
<p>11. <strong>Wake up early!</strong> Start the day off on a happy foot, with a happy thought. The morning hours are full of spiritual energy and prana (life force).</p>
<p>12. <strong>Let the sun shine in.</strong> 20 minutes of sunlight per day improves mood and wards of Seasonal Affection Disorder (SAD).</p>
<p>13. <strong>Take a hot bath.</strong> Feel the tension melt away as you sink into a pool of happiness.</p>
<p>14. <strong>Say &#8220;Good Job!&#8221;</strong> Give yourself permission to pat yourself on the back. Recognize your accomplishments and positive qualities.</p>
<p>15. <strong>Happiness is contagious!</strong> Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values, your goals and dreams.</p>
