In contrast, the following do not influence happiness as much as you think: - making more money (more materialism = less happy) - health - more education - moving to a sunnier climate

I believe that one of the easier steps to take is to focus on the positives, which is within our control. I often recommend to clients that they start putting PLAY back into their lives. Yes, I get some resistance but they finally come around. Play is how we learned as children. Play allows us a chance to develop our personal strengths. Most of our life tasks require us to be creative, generous, and tolerant of others, which we practice when we play. Imagine yourself going barefoot in the grass, blowing bubbles, flying a kite, or watch the moon and stars come out. Hopefully, at least one image brought a smile or a chuckle. Give yourself the right to play, to focus on the positives and enjoy what you have. Despite whatever the earlier years may have brought, you can still enjoy the child within you today!
