It took me a long time to learn that happiness is something you can train yourself to become better at it. It just takes some dedication, practice and persistence.
These habits have helped me become a much happier person:
1. Gratitude Journaling:
Find three things that you are grateful for in your life, and write them down every single morning. It could be anything as simple as your morning coffee to being healthy.
2. Negative Visualization:
Close your eyes and visualize a really bad hypothetical situation. What if you suddenly went blind, or suffered from a serious injury?
