7 Steps To Happiness For This Holiday Season

(Old Lyme, CT December 1,2008) Happiness is not as hard to find if one applies effort and acceptance of the joy of the “simple” things in our everyday life. Things like family, lovers, and friends, that like you unconditionally. If one appreciates what one has had rather than what they don’t have, they can find happiness.

1. Focus on Abundance- Focus on what already exists in life that is satisfying and one will never be at a lack for finding things to be happy about. We all have things to be grateful for. Family, friends. Even possessions.
2. Appreciate - The food on the dinner table. Many people in the world lack this. If one has food, they have sustenance and that alone will keep them alive to contribute to the lives of others. Appreciate the family that loves each other. The friends that don’t make judgments. The people that show unconditional support.
3. Give To Get- The more one “gives” the more one “gets”. A simple smile is the best example of this. Think of how many times a smile has changed a day for the better. It is pretty rare. It is the closest bridge between people. Make use of it.
4. Happiness is Contagious- The more happiness that is spread - through good deeds, simple gestures or contributions will make a happier person.
5. Keep a List Daily of Things To Be Grateful For- Do this every day and feel will happy. The weather. The friends. The dog at the foot of your bed.
6. Write All Of The Causes of Unhappiness On a Piece of Paper- Do this. Read it twice. Crumple it up and throw it away. Problem solved. One usually feels a “cleansing” effect when they eliminate all the negatives in life by using this technique. Focus on the positive and the rest will take care of itself,
7. Life Is Short - In an interview with Sean Connery. He said “Every morning you have a choice to make the best of each day or be miserable.” Embrace that, and realize that if one lives every day as if it were their last, sooner or later they are going to be right. Walk around with a smile, radiate happiness within, and be the cause of it for others.
