15 Simple Ways to be Happier in 2010.

According to Shine on YAHOO, in 2010, there are 15 ways to make an individual's mood more happier.

1. Be your own BFF (best friend forever). Enjoy your own company. Embrace everything about you! Without a doubt, it's the most important step towards being a happy person.
My thoughts: Love what you do and do it for yourself

2. Smile, giggle, snicker, or chuckle! Smiling releases serotonin in the brain, which instantaneously gives your mood a lift.
My thoughts: Smiling also makes your day "brighter."

3. Dream big in every area of life. Set your life in motion and manifest your heart's desire.
My thoughts: Everyone has dreams that they want to come true. Keep believing you can achieve it, and you will be happier.

4. Shut the doors and the windows tight! And then put on your favorite song and sing out loud. Let it rip!
My thoughts: HAVE FUN in your own room!

5. Cook a healthy, delicious meal. Serve it up pretty and savor the flavor, one bite at a time.
 My thoughts: Eating something tasty can put you in a good mood.

6. Expect a miracle. Believe that something wonderful will happen for you today. The universe is waiting to shower happy blessings on you.
My thoughts: Always think that "today will be a good day."

7. Meditate, pray and chant. Research shows that people who are spiritual tend to be happier and healthier than those who are not.
My thoughts: Believe in something or someone you admire, or learn about a new "spirituality."

8. Pull up your best pair of warm socks. Wiggle your toes and enjoy a cozy kind of bliss.
My thoughts:  Slip into something comfy.

9. Sleep baby sleep. Seven or eight hours each night should increase your energy and decrease your moodiness.
 My thoughts: If you feel like you're going to have a bad day or something negative happened, sleep on it.

10. Count your blessings daily. Gratitude, the emotion of thankfulness, is one of the key ingredients for living a happy life. Make gratitude a habit and happiness will be yours.
My thoughts: Jot down a list of the things you are grateful for and put it somewhere you can see it everyday.

11. Wake up early! Start the day off on a happy foot, with a happy thought. The morning hours are full of spiritual energy and prana (life force).
My thoughts: You can get a lot more done to satisfy your happiness.

12. Let the sun shine in. 20 minutes of sunlight per day improves mood and wards of Seasonal Affection Disorder (SAD).
My thoughts: Looking at the sun can be calming.

13. Take a hot bath. Feel the tension melt away as you sink into a pool of happiness.
My thoughts: Taking a hot bath can ease your negative feelings and make you feel more relaxed.

14. Say "Good Job!" Give yourself permission to pat yourself on the back. Recognize your accomplishments and positive qualities.
My thoughts: ALWAYS reward yourself when you accomplish something.

15. Happiness is contagious! Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values, your goals and dreams.
My thoughts: You want friends who are positive, not negative because they can bring your mood down.
