Want to be happier? It’s easier than you think. By adopting the habits of happy people, you can bring more joy, calm, and fulfillment into your life.

Here are five habits to start practicing today:

  1. Step Away from the Plastic
    Shopping doesn’t create lasting happiness. Focus on experiences and connections instead of material things.
  2. Start Journaling
    Write down the moments that bring you joy, and revisit them daily to cultivate a positive mindset.
  3. Get Up an Hour Earlier
    Ease into your day with less stress and more intention by waking up an hour earlier.
  4. Have a Plan B
    Be prepared for life’s surprises with a backup plan, and approach challenges with confidence.
  5. Eat More Bananas
    Boost your mood with this serotonin-rich snack that’s healthy, filling, and delicious.

Happiness is a choice. Start incorporating these habits into your daily routine and watch your life transform.
