9 Ways to Lift Your Spirits
1. Realize you can't buy happiness. Wealth is like health; its utter absence breeds misery, but having it doesn't guarantee happiness.
2. Manage your time. Happy people feel in control of their lives; mastering their use of time increases the sense of control. Set goals and break them into manageable tasks.
3. Act happy. Going through the motions can trigger the emotions.
4. Flow. Happy people are often in a zone called "flow". They're absorbed in a challenging, but not overwhelming, task.
5. Exercise. Sound minds reside in sound bodies.
6. Sleep. Happy people allow their bodies to rest.
7. Foster close relationships. Caring friends can help you through trying times; be a friend to have a friend.
8. Be helpful. Doing good makes you feel good.
9. Be grateful. Take time every day to what you have rather than what you don't.
