HAPPINESS IS SIX STEPS AWAY

Don't worry, be happy, because it's true bliss can be achieved. According to scientific research and ancient wisdom, here are the six ways to a life of joy:

Believe in yourself
Studies prove that across all ages and groups, a solid belief in one's own abilities increases satisfaction by 40%, says Dr. David Niven, author of 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People.

Beware the focusing effect
Unhappy people say, "If only I had (fill in the blank), I'd be happy." Content people don't wait for x, y or z to happen before they can enjoy life. They avoid focusing on illusions to happiness.

Be wise
Ancient Greek philosophers say the noblest of pursuits is to live to your highest potential.

Be friends
Studies on people filled with joy show the importance of friendships and spending quality time with others.

Be intentional
Make happiness happen. Happy people examine their lives and make necessary changes to bring themselves more joy.


Just be
Science confirms the correlation between meditation and happiness. An article at Psychology Today.com says people who mediate "were calmer and happier than before."
