5 Simple Things to do to be Happier Today

1. Practice gratitude: Count your blessings! Sit down and write a list of things you are grateful for. 2. Forgive someone who wronged you: Forgiving does not necessarily mean forgetting... what it does mean is that you are allowing yourself to become free from the burden of the past to move on with your life. 3. Act happy: Fake it till you make it. Research shows that even an artificial smile can boost your mood and it makes you seem friendlier. 4. Disconnect: Do yourself a favor and stop reading news for a week! Exposing yourself to daily horrors that you can do nothing about does not do anything to empower you. 5. Exercise: When you workout your body releases endorphins, and they create a sense of euphoria.
