10 Steps to Happiness

Ten Steps To True Happiness

A team of experts believe that they have found the
essential ingredients to make a person's life happier.

Based on best knowledge and research, the team came up
with a 10-point plan for happiness listed below.

The 10 steps to happiness

1. Plant something and nurture it
2. Count your blessings - at least five - at the end of each day
3. Take time to talk - have an hour-long conversation with a loved one each week
4. Phone a friend whom you have not spoken to for a while and arrange to meet up
5. Give yourself a treat every day and take the time to really enjoy it
6. Have a good laugh at least once a day
7. Get physical - exercise for half an hour three times a week
8. Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger at least once each day
9. Cut your TV viewing by half
10. Spread some kindness - do a good turn for someone every day

and I have one more to add...

11. Read Positive Thoughts each and everyday!

I think you have an excellent list of things that others can do to find happiness. While your list is simple it brings some great ideas up about what really makes people happy. I enjoy Marci Shimoff perspective in Happy For No Reason as an encouragement to finding happiness in ones life too. Hopefully that leads you to create an ever expanding list for you to continue finding happiness. Happy New Year!
