How to Be Happy!

How would you like to have at least an extra hour in your day just for
yourself so that you can have more fun?

Well you can you know, you just have to do the following consistently
and you'll free up your time so that you can enjoy more of your life.

Look After Yourself First

Exercise regularly and eat healthily. Do the right thing by yourself
and you'll have heaps of energy, be motivated,more productive and
happier.

Surround Yourself with Positivity

Circulate with positive people, read motivational books and listen to
motivational tapes/cds while driving, commuting, waiting for
appointments.

Avoid negative people like the plague. They will drain your energy

Clean out the Clutter

You will save yourself heaps of time, energy and money if you clear
out your work and home environment…paperwork, books, old equipment
etc. regularly. You'll be able to find things, save money because you
won't have to buy what you already have hidden somewhere, plus you'll
be less stressed. You'll feel better which will make you happier.

Jazz Up Your Environment

If you work and live in a pleasant environment, you'll naturally feel
better and happier. A clean, uncluttered home or workplace makes you
feel good and happy to be there.

Dress for Success

When you look good, you feel good , when you feel good you are
happier. Have an image makeover.

Plan Time For Fun

With so much to organise in your busy life you need to record your
appointments, things to do and goals somewhere. Use a paper diary or
digital organiser that you can take everywhere. This is the most
effective way to get things done, plan your work and your life.

Learn to say "No"

To dramatically improve your productivity and do more of the things
you want in your life, you have to be firm with others and let them
know if you cannot, will not or are unavailable to fulfil their
requests. If you constantly say "yes" to everyone else's requests you
will never have the time to do what you really want to.

Book yourself into a self-assertiveness course to learn these skills
if you feel you need to.

Do What You Do Best and Delegate the Rest

At work see if there are ways you can delegate tasks which would suit
someone else's talents. Many office and home based workers are
spending heaps of time on mundane secretarial tasks which would take a
person who is trained in that area a quarter of the time to undertake.

At home hire a gardener and cleaner to take care of the basic
household chores. It's worth investing the extra dollars if you can
have more free time to do what you want to.

Compliment Someone Every Day

How do you feel when you receive a compliment? Make someone's day…give
before you get because what goes around, comes around.

The Final Word

By following these simple yet very effective ideas you'll feel good,
look good and have more time to enjoy your life… and when you're
enjoying life, you're happy!
