Be Happy!

Who doesn't love being happy? I'm pretty sure we all do! Sometimes, it's hard to be happy though, when life gets tough, or something went wrong with school, or work, anything. It is so hard to CHOOSE to be happy. So, what are some ways you try to be happier every day?

Here's a list of different things you can do daily to make yourself happier:

#1: Start your day out with a cup of coffee and/or tea.

Pretty much everybody loves either coffee or tea. Start your day with a nice cup and meditate on your previous day and think about what today holds.

#2: Read the bible every day.

I don't really have to prove to you the benefits of reading your bible every day. Read a chapter or two and write in your journal what these/this chapter mean to you and what you got out of it.

#3: SMILE!

Just sit for a few minutes and smile! It doesn't matter if there's anything to smile about at that moment; do it anyway!

#4: Spend more time with your family and friends.

Make time at least once a week to be with your family, and meet your friends for coffee or whatever you so choose to do.

#5: Exercise every day.

Take 7-10 minutes out of each day and exercise. Whether it's just stretching or you do a full cardio workout, go on and exercise! Play some fun tunes and have some fun with it!

#6: Start a new hobby.

It can make your day so much better when you have something to look forward to. Whether you want to play an instrument, crochet, do crafts, or scrapbook, it doesn't matter as long as you're enjoying your time.

#7: Sing.

It doesn't matter if you're a bad singer or can't carry a tune, sing every day! Go ahead and sing your favorite song, even if you have to lock yourself in your bedroom to do it!

#8: Read a book (or two, or three).

Reading opens up another world in which you can use your imagination and go anywhere your heart desires!

#9: Count your blessings.

All of us are blessed in one way or another. Count all of your blessings, or write them in your journal.

Here is a list of wonderful quotes about happiness and being happy:
