Simple Tip #12: Being Happy

Being happy is always the most important part in simple living. Here's a link with some suggestions on how to be happy today: Tiny Buddha Happy Tips


Some of my favorites are:

1. Smile. As the quote goes, “I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.”

6. Create something that helps people. A song, a blog, a support group, a non-profit–anything that inspires.

10. Give someone an uncomfortably long hug when they need it.

14. Notice something simple but beautiful in the world around you.

22. Give yourself the same courtesy–focus on the good you’ve done, not the mistakes you’ve made.

31. Show unbridled enthusiasm for something that excites you. All children are beautiful, and I think their unadulterated joy has a lot to do with it.

34. Honor the values that matter to you. Showing integrity is the first step to feeling good about yourself.

35. Accept and love yourself–or as Ben Folds sings, “Learn to live with what you are.”
