Greetings everybody.

Hope you are all well!

I found this blog at a psych site recently.

Some good tips and like anything - the more you practice the more "natural" it becomes - like learning to ride a bike or a new language or play the piano etc etc etc ...

Here is a little taste -

People often ask me: "What can I do to boost my happiness?"

I tell them that there are tons of things you can do, but then I can only recall a handful of practices in the moment. So I decided to create this complete guide for how to be happy, according to science. If you use these 23 practices consistently, you are very likely to increase your personal happiness:

1. Find out what to do first.
How are you supposed to build the right happiness skills if you don't know which ones you are struggling with in the first place? This is why it's helpful to take a quiz to explore your happiness strengths and weaknesses. Get a better understanding of what these skills are all about, and learn how to improve upon your weaknesses and build your "happiness strengths."

Most of the links in the text are to the Berkeley Well-Being Institute.

For the other 22 tips click here -

The rest of the blog is worth a look as well - if you have the time & inclination :)

All the best!
