9 Daily Habits That Will Make You Happier

9 Daily Habits That Will Make You Happier
By Geoffrey James

"These minor changes in your daily routine will make a major difference
in your life and career:

1. Start each day with expectation.
Make your first thought: "something wonderful is going to happen today."
2. Take time to plan and prioritize.
Pick one thing that, if you get it done today, will move you closer to your
highest goal and purpose in life.
3. Give a gift to everyone you meet.
Your gift can be your smile, a word of thanks or encouragement, a gesture
of politeness, even a friendly nod.
4. Deflect partisan conversations.
Arguments about politics and religion never have a "right" answer.
5. Assume people have good intentions.
Assuming good intentions leaves you open to reconciliation.
6. Eat high quality food slowly.
Focus on it; taste it; savor it.
7. Let go of your results.
Focus on the job at hand rather than some weird fantasy of what might
happen.
8. Turn off "background" TV.
The entire point of broadcast TV is to make you dissatisfied with your life
so that you'll buy more stuff. Why subliminally program yourself to be a
mindless consumer?


9. End each day with gratitude.
Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that
happened."
