5. Recognize U-Curve triggers. The statistics around the Happiness U-Curve don't manifest the same way in every individual. If you recognize what is causing your unhappiness, you can avoid the bottom of the curve by taking pro-active steps. Are you feeling dissatisfied with your achievements at work or in your personal endeavors? Make a list celebrating the achievements you have made. Even the smallest achievements quickly can add up when you write them down, one by one, once a week. Writing down achievements in a daily diary can keep the thought alive and become a great way to strategize for more successes to keep you happy.

6. Prioritize your happiness. Write 'Happiness" at the top of this week's task list. Next to the word, visualize what makes you happy and pencil it in, just as you would an important meeting with a client or a crucial household chore. When you know for a fact that you're happier with certain people over others, schedule time to be with those who make you happier. If a hobby or just spending time being lazy makes you happy, add that time to your schedule.
