Happiness is very related to health and well-being so if you can be happy, it's likely that you will feel much healthier as you improve your brain chemistry and the subsequent effects that can have on your body.

Take a moment or two to recall a time when you were very happy. Reflect on what that was like for you and specifically, what did you see, hear, feel, taste and smell?

What indications did you have that you were happy? What was going on around you? ? What was going on inside you? How did you feel about yourself? Did the experience connect you more or less strongly with other people? Start to look at what is positive, what's enjoyable, that you can do. Notice what people who are contented or optimistic are doing. Notice the way they concentrate on positive things, at the end of the day. Be aware of all the good and positive things happen to you each day.

Have a day when you smile at people and receive smiles back from them. Notice how much better you feel when you are satisfied with life.

Similarly thinking, just for a moment about negative experiences. How specifically did you know you were unhappy?

What made you unhappy? Did you know immediately? What was going on around you what was going on inside you? Louise Hay says that you create your own experiences when you say that you believe something that often is the way that you experience that thing. You may be making judgments that aren't actually true.

Refuse to put up with what makes you unhappy!
