101 Ways to Be Happier Every Day

Everyone knows how it feels to be happy. You may even realize exactly what it is that makes you happy, but sometimes in moments of sadness, we get stuck in that feeling and forget where to find our happiest selves.

Happiness looks different for each person. Happiness isn’t a fixed personality trait either. We may notice people who tend to be generally happier than we are, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t also capable of achieving that emotion in some form each day. Happiness is a choice. We choose what and how certain things are going to effect us. If you find yourself being unhappy often, it may be because you are choosing to be so.

Here’s a list of things that we can all do every day to remain happy.
