5 Simple Ways to Be Happy

5 Simple Ways to Be Happy We all want to be happy. But what is happiness? Here's one definition… Happiness is simply the ability to not want more; to find gratitude and satisfaction in the moment that you have right now. Express gratefulness. Appreciating what you have right now automatically brings you into the present. It allows you to get past the dissatisfaction of wanting a bigger house or a better relationship or a better job and experience what you have right now. With that thought in mind, here are five ways to boost your gratefulness on a daily basis and find lasting happiness. 1. Before dinner each night, say one thing you are grateful for.

A 5-Step Plan For Taking Control Of Your Life:

A 5-Step Plan For Taking Control Of Your Life: Doctor Of Psychology Explains If you think you may still have a bit of work to do—and we all do at one point or another—I think these tips might help: 1. Set goals. All great leaders set goals. They identify the milestones they want to reach, then create specific, actionable goals that will help them get there. Whether you’re leading a major corporation or leading your (even more majorly important!) life, you need to look into the future and decide where you want to go—then figure out how you’ll get there. Set goals for yourself, based on where you want to be in six months, a year, and five years from now. And while it’s important to set goals that are fairly realistic, I also encourage you to dream big! Don’t limit yourself by what you’ve accomplished in the past. Stretch yourself a little bit further, allowing room for your inevitable growth. I think you’ll be amazed at the goals you can reach with a little clarity and the ri
