Happiness can be a fleeting feeling, being happy makes you perform better and it increases your productivity also. You cannot make someone else happy except you are happy.

Happiness also increases your sense of well-being and gives you the ability to handle the rough times that will surely come in your life.

Below are great ways to get your happiness back on track:

• Sing a song: Music has a way of making us happy and bringing us back to life. If you are a lover of music like I am, you can sing songs or listen to songs that would life up your spirit and make you cheerful. Singing is an instant mood enhancer.
• Exercise: a lot of people do not know that exercising makes you happy, while exercising the body increases the secretion of endorphins in your system. Endorphins make you feel good and it also has a way of lightening up your mood.
• Have fun: hang out with friends and loved ones, go shopping, see movies etc. Generally, just relax and have fun and you would find out how happy you would. Do not be too serious, let loose and go with the flow.
• Try new things:  Take a step out of your comfort zone and try out new things. You can learn how to cook, swim, paint or anything you have been longing to do. By doing all this, you would suddenly discover that you feel lighter and happier.
• Smile: When you turn that frown upside down, your happiness meter starts to rise. Just making a goofy grin in the mirror or at a friend will get you a grin back. It may make you laugh or not, but it will definitely get you thinking positive thoughts.

Nobody can make you happy; the key to your happiness is in you. Look within and discover those lovely straits you never knew you had. Have a happy week!
