Specific things that are known to increase levels of happiness and show promise of moving your set point higher over time are:

• Being aware of your blessings and acknowledging what you are grateful for at least several times a week.

• Savoring good things that happen.

• Avoiding comparing yourself to your peers and obsessing on negative outcomes.

• Practicing small acts of kindness to others.

• Having self-awareness and self-management to allow time for meditation, yoga and smiling at others.

• Viewing negative things as temporary and specific rather than permanent and pervasive.

Aristotle said "happiness depends on ourselves." New research indicates that with commitment and effort, you can influence 40% of your happiness. It is necessary to take time to make choices that will enhance your level of happiness starting today. The choice is up to you.
