  1. Be yourself.
    • You don’t have to be anyone else or seek anyone’s approval. Just be you! 
  2. Unplug.
    • Turn off your electronics. Talk to people and really listen to what they’re saying. You should feel happier when connecting with someone rather than something.
  3. Be nice to yourself.
    • It’s hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all the time.
  4. Improve.
    • Whatever you’re doing, try to make one small step to improve it each day.
  5. Have meaningful relationships.
    • Family, friends and coworkers should bring out the best in you. If they don’t, it may be time to reconsider your relationships. Connecting with the right people provides meaning and value to our lives.
  6. Complain less.
    • Do something about the issue. If there’s nothing you can do, vent and let it go.
  7. Be thankful.
    • Spend a little time each day thinking about what makes you happy. Speaking these things out loud can help cement your feelings of gratitude.
