10 Instant Happiness Boosters

You can get happier - FAST - with these 10 tips

From all the courses and research I’ve read, I’ve put it together into 10 tips you can use right now to be happier. I call these Instant Happiness Boosters, and I encourage you to try them if you’re not feeling as Happy AF as you want to be!

1. Flash a grin: Just try it, even if you're not feeling it. Smiling can trick your brain into feeling better.

2. Three Cheers for the Day: Each night, think of 3-5 cool things that happened. It could be anything, from a tasty coffee to nailing a work task.

3. Daily Fun Time: Make sure to do something you enjoy every day, no matter how small.

4. Chit-Chat: Chatting, even briefly, with people around you can boost your mood big time.

5. Listen Up: Spend a few minutes really listening to someone close to you. It's a secret sauce for happiness.

6. Nature Walks: Combine walking and nature for a double mood lift.

7. Be Kind: Do something nice, planned or spontaneous. It feels good.

8. Count Your Blessings: When you're feeling down, remember the good stuff in your life. It's all about perspective.

9. Forgive Yourself: Messed up? It's okay. Learning and living mean making mistakes.

10. Get Creative: Write, snap photos, make stuff, or solve a problem, even if it's just for a minute

My favorite is #8. Counting my blessings is my favorite way to get back into the Happy AF mindset.
