When we think of happiness, it’s easy to come up with a list of people that we believe are “happy,” based on certain criteria like looks, success, or fame. Of course, none of these things actually predict happiness. Happiness is a choice, so are here are some decisions you can make to help you live your best life. Watch our Smartte Minute, or scroll down to read the list!
1. Just SMILE! Try smiling BIG for 15 seconds and see how your mood improves.
2. Exercise! If you are feeling down, even a 10 minute walk will make you feel better!
3. Stop complaining!!!!!!! Even about the smallest things! Take our 24 hour Smartte challenge – no complaining for 24 hours. If you complain, about anything, you have to start all over again!
4. Be Positive! Studies prove that positive people are happier and are overall more successful. One way to be positive, write down 3 empowering affirmations and read them OUT LOUD every morning including:
• TODAY is an AMAZING DAY!
• I EXPECT wonderful things today!
• I FEEL full of energy and I am going to make today AWESOME!
• I AM SO GRATEFUL for this Beautiful moment!
5. On the grateful note, keep a Gratitude journal and write down even the smallest things that you are grateful for.
6. Get enough sleep and make sure you don’t let yourself get hungry! We all know that when you are tired, hungry, or worse, both, it is hard to be full of energy and feel great!
