7 Secrets of Happy People

Ever notice that happy people also tend to be healthy people? Do you know people who always seem cheerful and are fun to be around? People that make you smile?

Have you ever wondered: what’s the secret?

Science shows that happy people are healthier too.  So how do they do it? 

What common behavior rules do happy people follow? 

Here are 7 secrets to a happy life:

1. Say “yes” to social ties and doing things with others. Celebrate even small occasions with family and friends because relationships between us fulfill and enrich life. Make it a goal to connect with at least one friend or even someone new every day, and talk about good stuff, not bad.
2. Give Thanks! Make a list each day of three things you’re grateful for – big or small. Think of simple pleasures like sunshine when rain was in the forecast; a tasty free sample at the grocery store; your favorite song on the radio. Be grateful for joys big or small.  
3. Look at the bright side. Find the silver lining even when things don’t go the way you hoped they would. Focus on the things that go right, because they are what make life fun.  Be happy. Ignore the things that go wrong. Yes, bad stuff happens. There is no time for angry thoughts when things don’t work. Move on.
4. Lend a hand. Help someone else with something. People who help others tend to feel happier. Always be on the lookout for ways to help others.
5. Find joy in movement. 
   
   Exercise gets the senses moving, gets blood flow going, and floods the body with endorphins — the feel-good hormones. It also clears the brain, and releases stress and anxiety. So, get moving some way every day. Use it or lose it.
6. Talk nice to yourself. Are you beating yourself up because you expect too much?  Research shows that positive thinking changes brain function. Remember nobody is perfect; mistakes do sometimes happen.  It’s not a perfect world, and that’s O.K.
7.  Create something or play. Play a board game. Play guitar. Play ball with your dog. Doodle or draw something. Do something fun or silly at least once every day. Play time is good for you.
