For those of you in a rush, here’s the short version…..
About 50% of our happiness is set through genetics. Some is affected by circumstances, and some we can control. The tips below are for maximising happiness in the areas that we can control.
- Be in the present. Don’t be distracted by the past or the future.
- Take notice of the little things in life and in the world. And enjoy them.
- Build and maintain good quality relationships.
- Train your mind.
- Use your strengths.
- Plan for happiness.
You don’t need to change your attitude to everything right now. Simply be aware that you can take responsibility for your own happiness and take steps to improve it. And wouldn’t we all love to be a little happier?
