Hearing laughter makes people happier! Maybe the quiet murmur of a coffeehouse makes you feel cozy and warm, or maybe you know a song that never fails to lift your spirits or remind you of a happy time. Make yourself happier by listening.
Use Your Body, Mind, & Spirit Too
Imagine Joy: Make "joy" the focus of your thoughts. Try to imagine and feel joy for as long as you can. It's amazing how quickly you can convince your mind that you are indeed happy - even if there seems to be nothing to cause it. YOU cause joy, so pretend it's already yours.
Define Joy for yourself: What does happiness mean to YOU? How will you know when you're happy? What does happiness look like? What does it taste like? What sound does happiness make? What does joy feel like?
