There’s an old hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy chorus and a way of conveying the message of how to find happiness.

Living a life that’s happy, resilient and optimistic can be wonderful, as well as being great for your health. But being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. It’s a well known fact that stress is linked to the top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing your happiness set point is one way to make life more enjoyable. A quote that’s attributable to Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1908 – 1990) is “the more things change, the more they remain the same”.

How true this is. In life, we have the power to make the changes, but only if we want to. If we happen to find ourselves in a difficult situation, we can always find solace in the knowledge that this too shall pass.

The following tips offer practical suggestions that you can use to help you find happiness:

1. Take Good Care of Yourself
Priority #1 is to take care of yourself. It's much easier to get things done and be in control when you’re eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. Spend some time feeding your mind with positive and uplifting information at least every day.

2. Express an Attitude of Gratitude Daily
Life’s stresses and challenges don't seem quite so bad when you remind yourself daily of the things that are working in your life – right now. When you wake, simply take a minute or so to be thankful and appreciate all that’s good in your life. This alone will make a huge difference in getting your day off to a good start.

3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions
If you have a fear that a friend or family member's bad mood is because of something you did, speak up and ask them. Don't waste precious time and energy worrying if you did something to offend them unless you have solid proof or cause to worry.

4. Remove Absolutes from Your Vocabulary
Have you ever told a partner or spouse "You're ALWAYS late!" What about complaining to a friend "You NEVER call me!" When you make a habit of thinking and speaking in absolutes such as 'always' and 'never', it makes the situation appear worse than it really is. This sets up your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering.

5. Detach From Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts don’t have any control or power over you if you don't judge them. When you start to yourself having a negative thought, quickly detach from it. Becoming aware of negative thoughts is the first step to regaining control over your life.

6. Increase Your Social Activities
When you increase your social activity, you decrease loneliness. Take the time to surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will ultimately affect you in a positive way!

7. Help another Person or Volunteer for an Organization
Virtually everyone feels good after giving a helping hand. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. One of the true secrets of self fulfillment is the more positive energy you give to the world, the more you will receive in return.
