  1. I find that if I surround myself with happy people, the mood seems to be contagious. I try to distance myself from the negativity.

  2. For me absorbing myself in Gods word helps me to be a better person! You are so correct about each area though! When I eat nasty foods I feel like crap later! It only is temporary happiness!

  3. I try to eat healthy, too, and it definitely makes me feel better about myself. Sure, I have my moments (like yesterday when I downed six slices of pizza), but feeling good for me is the first step!

  4. These Happy Life tips are fantastic. Pursuing hobbies that make you happy is a great idea. We spend so much time doing what we have to do but so little time doing what we love to do.

  5. Great tips and steps. I have promised myself that this year I would cut out unhealthy foods and alcohol. To a lot of my friends it seems extreme but I am determined to get my mind, body, and soul right. I have been wanting to make a big change for a long time.

  6. All of this is sound advice for improving the quality of your life. And step 2 also brightens other people’s day, so the happiness can be multiplied out! 🙂

  7. This is so true! These are such great tips! This year I’m trying to focus on the “it could be worse” attitude!

  8. Great post. I think I’m happy almost all of the time, and when I’m not, I try to remind myself that a positive attitude really affects how my day goes. 🙂

  9. As RuPaul says, how the h*11 you gonna’ love somebody else if you don’t love yourself? That’s the center of happiness for me!

  10. I’m trying to do better at a lot of these! Fatty foods and exercise go hand-in-hand. I LOVE the tip to surround ourselves with positive and happy people!

  11. Great tips, I love them!I’m trying to keep a positive outlook on the year, I think that’s the best first step to happiness!

  12. It’s definitely important to remember that there are always those bad “moments” but that they don’t have to “define” you or your life – great tips

  13. These are such great tips to help achieve happiness. For me I’ve found simplifying also provides great happiness, sometimes “stuff” tends to get in the way and the less there is the happier I seem to be.

  14. Eating healthy, spending lots of time with my children and husband and exercising often bring up my mood and make me a happier person. These are great tips!

  15. my tip is to recognize the small things. i find i get annoyed easily but if i stop and actually look at what is going on it really isn’t that big of a deal.

  16. I think it’s up to us to be happy. I like to think that by helping I can help other people’s happiness as well. My way of giving back. 🙂

  17. Step four is one that I struggle with on a daily basis. I love the way certain foods and drinks taste…but they usually make me feel run down and gross afterwards!

  18. Wonderful tips! I totally agree that being happy is not dependent on other people or stuff; it’s totally up to the individual. Find happiness within oneself and find happiness with the world. I’ve found that sleep, eating healthy, exercising, and being truly present with my children help me stay positive.

  19. Do unto others is something that a lot of people need to do more often. I can’t count the number of rude looks and comments that my husband and I get.

  20. I so agree that negative people can really drain the life right out of you. This is all good advice, Ms. B. 🙂

  21. I agree with you. Happiness is completely internal. You can’t expect other people, money, or things to bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within yourself.

  22. I am working on Step One myself right now! I have realized how much I miss playing music – so I am doing what I can to get back into a band.

  23. I definitely agree that the people you surround yourself with can rub off on you. It’s good to hang out with like-minded, positive folks.

  24. Exercise has been a crucial component to my happiness. It’s not even about appearance, it’s about the way I sleep and eat better. It’s also about the way it forces my to be disciplined. I can’t say enough good things.

    1. I feel more happier when I exercise too. I have to say I have been lazy though and need to get back in the groove of going on walks and stuff with the kids.
