What we want in life—for ourselves and our loved ones—could be summed up in one simple word but often elusive state: happiness .
The first step to attaining happiness is knowing that it won’t come knocking at your door or falling from the fateful skies. The second step is recognizing that it’s not just life’s big, momentous occasions (you know, the ones we don’t have full control over) that can make us happy. Little moments count a lot too.
If you do small things to bring yourself to a less stressful or more grateful place, you’ll harness the power—little by little and instance by instance—to paint your life with a sunnier hue.
Here are some simple, happiness-boosting things you can do at home every day:
