Find Happiness Every Day

What is happiness? Well in these times of increasing worldwide financial insecurity we may think that happiness is not attainable!

When practiced frequently these ideas will help to overcome your fears, stress and anxiety and lead you into a place of greater calm.

1. Watch a funny DVD or video, laughter is one of the best mood lifters around.

2. Go into a florist (you don't need to buy) or a park and enjoy and appreciate the abundance of flowers, their perfume and beauty will give you an instant lift.

3. Exercise in the fresh air with a friend, I have found that even if I feel too tired, when I start, I soon feel invigorated and refreshed.

4. Meditate; find a quiet space, sit or lie and just relax, think uplifting thoughts of gratitude for all the positive elements in your life, food, clothing, a place to live and add many more as they come into your mind.

5. Help someone, maybe a friend or neighbour or even someone on the street. This act or a few kind words will benefit you as much as it does the receiver.

6. Play some of your favourite music, sing and dance, really dance - with joy and wellbeing.
