Joy to You and Me

From MIND YOUR BODY Jan 29, 2009

I like this article alot too :)
decided to lift some paragraphs out

"I view joy as a natural state of being that occurs when we are being authentic in accepting reality and living fully in the present"

"those actively seeking happiness should engage in activities that are enjoyable, absorbing and deeply meaningful"

"Feelings of happiness, can have a knock-on effect, leading people to other positive activities like opening up to others and excersing"

*****

some advice on how to kick-start a happier life

Count your blessings

Money cant buy happiness
-engage in more meaningful activities like bondin with family and friends

Avoid Toxic people

Show gratitude and appreciation

Keep things in perspective
-balancing your expectations with the reality of your situation and your own perception of things
It can be real simple but sometimes amid the circumstances we are in, we tend to forget about it.
