Regardless of your version of true happiness, living a happier, more satisfying life is within reach. All it takes to get there are a few tweaks to your regular habits. If you’ve ever tried breaking a bad habit, you know all too well how ingrained they are. Well, good habits are deeply ingrained, too. When you make good habits a part of your everyday routine, you build a foundation from which it becomes much easier to attain the happiness you’re looking for. To start with, there are simple habits you can instill into your daily life that will make life a little brighter. For instance, regular exercise can help to reduce stress, feelings of anxiety, and symptoms of depression—not to mention improve the self-image you have of your body. Getting ample sleep is another daily habit that will simply help you feel better. Then there are more long-term habits that can make happiness more attainable. Planning your week is an example of this. When you list all the things you want to get done for the week and block out the time to do it, it can help to quiet your mind.
