5 Ways To Be A Happier Person

    Are you tired of feeling sad or unhappy all of the time? Maybe you look at other people and wonder how they can be so happy all day every day. Well, there are some ways you can be happy and here are the tips to prove it.

Work Less

    Some of us spend literally every day working and it’s time to stop allowing work to suck life away. If you want to be happier, try and find a healthier work-life balance. If you are totally unhappy, maybe it’s time for a career change.

Sleep More

    How many of us stay up way later than we’re supposed to? Going to bed earlier can help ensure you wake up happier the next day. Being tired can only make a person cranky, so it’s important to get as much sleep as you can to avoid being cranky.

Make New Friends

    Maybe your friends are making you cranky? Perhaps they suck away the time you have during the day or they are just negative all of the time. Try finding new friends and ones that have a better outlook and perspective on life.

Help Others

    Sometimes being happy isn’t always about “us” sometimes it’s about helping someone else. Take the time to help someone else and see how much happier you can be. Whether you help a complete stranger or a family member, the choice is yours. The saying “giving is much better than receiving” isn’t just a quote perfect for the Holidays.

Smile More

    It’s proven that when you smile more, you can be a happier person. Think about how much happier you feel when someone takes the time to smile at you. Need a reason to smile? Think about all of the good going on in your life!

  5. One of my favorite tips to remember is there will always be someone who tries to bring you down. Ignore them and believe in yourself.

  6. Definitely great tips, and also surround yourself with positive people!

  8. I love this and don’t worry about what other think about you or your situation.

  9. Sleeping more is my biggest issue. If I could sleep more I know that a lot of things would be different. Also, eating a healthy diet helps.

  26. perspective is a skill I love showing people I mentor, I remind them yes you might have some bad kind of luck going on but think of all the other hard stuff you have been through, think of other people who have it worst off. It’s amazing what perspective and gratitude can do.

  29. I might also add that getting up and getting dressed is a great plus to become a happier person. But smiles are contagious.

  30. Good tips, I never try to find happiness though, as it’s a fleeting emotion, believe in something else.
