Most people are usually about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

~Abraham Lincoln

Let’s talk about happiness.  Happy content people tend to have a few habits that help them get the most out of each day. Even in the midst of life’s storms and challenges, they are still able to maintain their happiness and peace for life. What are some of these habits?

Live in a state of appreciation. Count your blessings and don’t take your goodness for granted. When you look for things to appreciate, more goodness comes to you. Start keeping a gratitude/blessings journal and write each day all you are grateful for, all that went well for you that day, and all that you are looking forward to experiencing.

Meditate on thoughts that strengthen you instead of weaken you. Feed your body, mind and spirit with healthy thinking.
