His tips to maximize your happiness were:
To borrow and tweak a saying from Gandhi, “BE the positive attitude you wish to see”.
• Listen to yourself. Are you the negative voice in your family, workplace, relationship? Do you see the world and your life circumstances as half empty? Try an alternative:
• Avoid criticizing yourself. Instead of putting yourself down, pick yourself up. Find a gentler and more helpful approach to your situation.
• Remember, you are in control of your reality. You have the ability to positively reframe any situation.
• Explore opportunities to socialize and connect with community.
• Pay it forward. Encourage and compliment others daily. Contribute to a charity, or better yet get directly involved with one.
• Rewire your brain. Remember Have – Enrich – Absorb – Link
• Practice an attitude of gratitude. Keep a journal for at least 21 days.
• Laugh, play, create and savor.
• Choose a “Positivity Mantra”
• Smile, it’s infectious.
