Happiness is taking control – so here’s 7 ways to take control of your happiness today

Although there are times we need to accept that we can't control everything (this may well be the topic of a future blog posting) there are also times, most of the time in fact, when we should try to take control of as much as we can to create happiness and a great life. 

Accordingly, today I'm happy to bring you 7 ways to take control and to boost your happiness and positive emotion today…

  1. Before you go any further, make a decision to prioritise happiness today

  2. Right now, set at least 1 happiness related goal, something that will bring you pleasure or satisfaction or both

  3. Make a conscious effort to focus on what's working well today (rather than on what's not working)

  4. Do something good to or for something else

  5. Practice a random act of kindness (e.g. let someone in front of you in the line or anonymously slip a small chocolate in one of your colleagues "in trays") 

  6. Take at least 5 minutes out at some stage in the day and just relax and/or meditate 

  7. And don't forget to have some fun!

So there it is and see…it's not that hard. 

Have a go at these 7 simple strategies then make sure you let us know how you go (you can post your comments and experiences HERE on our Facebook Page). 

Have a happy day : )
