that happier and more positive people also have
1 a strong tendency
to engage in healthier lifestyle habits, such as focusing on eating
a healthier diet and getting regular exercise. They tend to have
healthier personal and professional lives, lower recorded blood
pressure readings, and reduced pain episodes, and as an end result,
these people also tend to live longer lives.
As we can see, getting to a state of happiness is not something
that is achieved without some thought and effort, so here are some
suggestions:

Make being happy nonnegotiable. Determine that no
matter what happens, you will insist on remaining in
your state of happiness and positivity.
In times of stress, worry, and distractions, double down
on the activities and experiences that strengthen you and
bring you back to your happy place.
Many of us expect that one day, with fingers crossed, we will end
up with the perfect and happy life. We spend more time planning
our wedding, careers, and vacations but no time at all to plan our
lives. Life is not a passive experience. We can wish and hope for a
good outcome, but we put the odds in our favour when we become
proactive in designing the life we want. That is how we develop the
true power of happiness and positivity.
