Boost Your Happiness...

Positive Daily Habits

Every person on earth will experience happy moments. Those moments lift us up. They open our hearts and increase our energy. However, maintaining this elevated state of being is not easy. It takes well planned daily rituals.

Multiple studies suggest that those “happy” feelings start to fade within five to ten minutes unless they are encouraged. By actively choosing to appreciate, share and relive our “happy” moments we can increase our positive emotions, which also improves our health, originality, hardiness and overall well-being.

It is important to make the choice to create positive daily habits that help you appreciate the happy moments you experience each and every day. Take the time to put one idea into action this week and start enjoying your new overall happiness.

• Be sure to share your highpoints. Make it a habit to review the day’s highpoints, perhaps at dinner. When you share your joy it uniquely expands your positive feelings.
• Seize the moment. Work to take a mental picture of the moments that lift your spirits the most. It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. The images you choose to save have the power to bring us back. Thus, making it much easier to relive the experience when you need a pick-me-up.
• Journal your experiences. I know, journaling can be time consuming. However, when you journal you capture those positive experiences on paper. The simple act of journaling anchors the memory and teaches your brain to see more of what lifts your spirits.

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
