How to be happier 😊

Feeling blue these days?

Mental health experts shared some things you can do to be happier with CNN:

Find things you can become fully absorbed in  When you’re fully engaged in something, you don’t notice the passage of time.  It’s called a “flow” state and it’s associated with more joy.

Practice random acts of kindness  They can make you feel generous and capable and bring more joy into your life.

Nurture your relationships  Research shows they can be more important to happiness than money, your job or even your health.

Celebrate good news  Give yourself a pat on the back when you’ve earned one and celebrate other people’s wins, too.

Express gratitude  Count your blessings and be thankful for them. #TisTheSeason
