Who doesn’t like being in the best mood ever? My friends would say that I am one of the happiest most optimistic people they know. How can I do this almost everyday? These 5 steps!

1. SMILE! 🙂 You don’t realize how much smiling can make your day improve! Find something. Even if it is as small as eating your favorite sandwhich. You always have something worth smiling about. Trust me.

2.INDULGE –Who cares if you have already had a cupcake that day? Eat another! The only opinion you should care about is your own! If you want to do something then do it. Don’t miss out on opportunities to make yourself happy because you’re trying to lose weight or trying to be better about something.

3. SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE YOU LOVE –This is a two way street. If you surround yourself with people who actually care about you and your feelings then you will be happier. Why have people in your life that only like you every other month? Or only like you because of a certain way you act only around them? If you have people in your life who know the real you, then keep  them close.

4. TAKE IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS– In other words this means focus on the details. Not necessarily in the work or school aspect, but in more of a pleasant way. Have you noticed how soft your scarf is today? Or how delicious your dinner smells? If you take in the small details that you miss everyday and enjoy them, its seems like you have endless amounts of time and joy.

5. LOVE YOURSELF– This can actually be the hardest of the tips. Loving yourself is something that you must learn to do. Nobody thinks they are perfect but if you harp on the negatives (body weight, blemishes, braces, birthmarks, ect.), then you will never be happy with yourself. Focus on your strengths and what you do well; not your weaknesses. This might not happen right away, but if you repeat these steps everyday, then you are on your way to a healthier, happier, more loving life.
Live and Be Loved!
