Use Your Senses

See Joy

Color Energy

Surround yourself with Orange because its color energy promotes joy.

Look for It

Make looking for the color orange a game. When you see it, add up one point for happiness!

Only See What You Want

Keep your eyes open for examples of joy both small and large. A smile, a hug, a warm light in your neighbors window. You will always find what you're looking for, so remember to see what you want!

Smell or Taste Joy

Herbs or Oils

Many (if not all) herbs and their essential oils are used to promote health and wellness. If you would like to promote your ability to be happier, then the following herbs and oils will help you reach that goal.

• Roman and German Chamomile
• Juniper Berries
• Ylang Ylang

Use these herbs or their essential oils for aromatherapy, perfume, and/or cooking, *and please remember not to ingest oils designed only for aromatherapy*.

Touch Joy

Stones and Crystals

Crystals and stones inherently hold the energies used to create them. One in particular is known for its ability to promote happiness. If you would like to hold a stone that promotes this virtue, check out:

• Clear Quartz

You could use these crystals as jewelry, pocket stones, room decor, meditative aids, etc.

Hear Joy

Listen Carefully

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

Imagine Happiness

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.
