If I followed all the advice, I wanted to know, would it work? Well, the year is over, and I can say: I made myself happier. And along the way I learned a lot about how to be happier. Here are those lessons. When I began my Happiness Project, I realized pretty quickly that, rather than jumping in with lengthy daily meditation or answering deep questions of self-identity, I should start with the basics, like going to sleep at a decent hour and not letting myself get too hungry.
Science backs this up; these two factors have a big impact on happiness.
I had always scrupulously aired every irritation as soon as possible, to make sure I vented all bad feelings before bedtime. Studies show, however, that the notion of anger catharsis is poppycock. Expressing anger related to minor, fleeting annoyances just amplifies bad feelings, while not expressing anger often allows it to dissipate. Fake it till you feel it. This strategy is uncannily effective. Realize that anything worth doing is worth doing badly. Challenge and novelty are key elements of happiness. The brain is stimulated by surprise, and successfully dealing with an unexpected situation gives a powerful sense of satisfaction.
The pleasure lasts a minute, but then feelings of guilt and loss of control and other negative consequences deepen the lousiness of the day. Our basic psychological needs include feeling loved, secure, and good at what we do.
You also want to have a sense of control. For example, when my sister got married, I splurged on a better digital camera.
They are always searching for happiness in the wrong places. They don't pay attention to the simple things in life that make them happy. I had many reasons to be happy: My husband was the tall, dark, handsome love . I often remind myself to “Enjoy the fun of failure” and tackle some daunting goal. Taking time to reflect, and making conscious steps to make your life happier.
It was expensive, but it gave me a lot of happiness. There are two types of decision makers. Making a consistent effort to meet new people helps us fulfill that need and introduces us to new ideas and perspectives. New places and cultures offer a different perspective on the world and add a healthy dose of inspiration and possibility to our lives.
It keeps the dream alive and stops it fizzling out as a forgotten thought.

Physical clutter equals mental clutter; reducing the amount of stuff around us fosters a calmer mental state, too. Be deliberate in your life choices: The more self-aware and self-accepting we are, the happier we are. Make time to read personal development books, journal, and focus on being compassionate towards yourself. During the more challenging times, remember that life is one big cycle of ups and downs, and remember that all feelings pass.
2. Make time to relax
Make time to celebrate your wins—no matter how small, and focus on enjoying the journey rather than the destination. Give yourself permission to enjoy a drama-free existence and focus on finding pleasure in your daily experiences. Feel the wind on your face, the sun on your skin, and enjoy a good dose of Vitamin D and fresh air.
Find enjoyment through a sense of purpose and make time to explore subjects that interest you.
After all, you never know where your interest might lead! When we can feel compassion for ourselves and compassion for others, even difficult situations become rewarding and, ultimately, more enjoyable.
Spending time on activities that make a difference to others, through pursuits like volunteering , helps instill a sense of meaning and purpose in our lives. Even though some of the activities might not be that enjoyable or exciting, the simple act of giving back is a reward in itself.
BE HAPPY : ENJOY LIFE BY LIVING IT TO THE FULLEST
Getting naked is often thought of as an act that should only be reserved for intimacy—and even then some get squirmy! Many people are more comfortable believing that the more clothes you are wearing the better. However, getting naked more often can have great benefits for you. Here are 10 great reasons to get naked more often: It burns more fat.
When your body is exposed to the elements and is cooler, the BAT proliferates and essentially kills the white adipose tissue, aka bad fat cells. So, not wearing any clothes helps promote this and makes you healthier. Self-acceptance is hard to come by today. Ask anyone you know and see if they are happy with themselves.
1. Focus on yourself
Chances are they will say they are too fat, not pretty, and find all of the flaws that they can. In reality, others do not see this. They see that you are beautiful. When you begin to get naked, you learn to appreciate your body and realize how beautiful you really are. Being naked more often saves on buying new clothing since you are wearing nothing a lot of the time.
Be careful when you are in public, though—you may have to put on some clothes! Vitamin D is directly related to your immune system. So go lay outside naked on your private balcony or in your yard.
