Our research revealed how habitually happy think, act and feel and why their approach works so well. Embrace and adopt the habits of happy people and you will become happy or happier yourself.
Make Happiness YOUR Habit, Adopt Happiness Habits! Here are some examples:

• Make Goodness Your Guiding Goal - When we focus on doing good things, we feel good. This is an application of the First Law of Happiness: Our Focus Determines Our Feelings. Live by only the highest and best values, continually try to do your best, feel your best and be YOUR best all of the time! You will never feel better or improve your performance by focusing on how badly you feel or on how poorly you think you are doing.

• Fuel Your Life And Your Work With Fun - Decide what you're going to do and then find ways to enjoy it. Great plans are worthless without the enthusiasm to achieve them.

• Avoid The Fault Finding Feel Goods - All those terribly tempting tendencies to judge, criticize and blame. By finding fault we're elevating ourselves, but we're still focusing on negatives.

• Beating Yourself Up Reinforces Errors You Want To Avoid - Focus your time and attention on building successful skills and strategies for the future. Reliving, restating and remembering wrongs reinforces them!

• Touch People With A Positive Spirit - If you summon up a genuine sense of fun and sparkle and honestly project it, you can't help but take on a more positive mood yourself. You might just brighten someone else's day as well.

• Practice Emotional Independence - Choose your mood and your attitude. Don't hand control of your thoughts, actions or feelings over to people who are trying to hurt, harass or harm you. See EmotionalIndependence.com

• Misery Is Meant To Make Us Move - Misery signals that something is changing or needs to change. Listen to what misery is trying to tell you and make changes to strengthen your happiness and spiritual success.

• Creatively Reinvent Dull, Dreary or Difficult Tasks To Make Them Fun & Rewarding - Turn them into games, involve others, take pride in doing simple things extraordinarily well.

• "Success" Does NOT Equal Happiness - People who chase after "Success" thinking it will bring them happiness are often disappointed. There are lots of successful people who are not especially happy.

• Avoid All Unnecessary, Non-Productive Negativity - Amazing improvements in happiness come from simply eliminating all negativity that's not necessary or productive.

• Love Propels Happiness - Love is the basis for ALL happiness. Loving is an active verb and a choice we make. Where there is no love, there is no happiness. The best way to excel at anything is to cultivate a love for it. The more we decide to love, the greater our happiness and spiritual success.
