Here are some strategies which happy people follow everyday to stay happy, why everyday, you say? because it is a habit that you have build, it is a natural state of being.

Taking care of your body means loving yourself as a person – it goes way beyond aesthetics. Self-care can be as simple as splurging on a new bag or sleeping in for an extra 15 minutes in the morning.

You can call a friend that you haven’t spoken to in a long time; you can make some cake and give it to your neighbors – and you can volunteer at a homeless centre.
4. They Express Gratitude : We often think about what we do not have, instead of being thankful for the things we have and for the love we receive from the people who surround us.
