Ever wondered why people who live simple lives are happier? They spend more time out in nature and appreciate the little things in life. They make more intentional choices about their well-being and have less stress and anxiety. Research shows that 40% of happiness is due to intentional activity.

Make being happy a habit. Happiness is an enduring state of mind that can be achieved through a variety of habits. Accept responsibility – the happiest people feel great about themselves because they accept responsibility for every part of their life. And be kind – the happiest people are the kindest.

Happiness doesn’t come from owning more things. Happiness is a way of life. “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude,” says motivational speaker and author Denis Waitley.
