1. Realize you can’t buy happiness: Wealth is like health. Its utter absence breeds misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.
 2. Manage your time: Happy people feel in control of their lives, often aided by mastering their use of time. Set goals and break them into manageable tasks.
 3. Act happy: Going through the motions can trigger the emotions.
 4. Flow: Happy people are often in a zone called “flow”. They’re absorbed in a challenging, but not overwhelming task.

 5. Exercise: Sound minds reside in sound bodies.

 6. Sleep: Happy people allow their bodies to rest.

 7.Foster close relationships: Friends who care about you can help you weather difficult times. Don’t take them for granted.

 8. Be helpful: Doing good makes you feel good.

 9. Be grateful: Pause to think about what you have rather than what you don’t.

10. Nurture your spirit: Faith can provide a sense of purpose and hope. Studies find that actively religious people are happier and cope better with crises than non-religious people.
