Topic-Cultivating Happiness Habits

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things,

you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception; it is a
prevailing attitude."
Experiencing happiness begins with the understanding that happiness is not a gift
you receive; rather, it is an emotion you create and cultivate in your life. The
Pursuit of Happiness organization has identified Seven Habits of Happy People
that will cultivate greater well-being in your everyday life.
To cultivate happiness, you can:
 Engage in a healthy, active lifestyle that promotes physical vitality.
 Find spiritual engagement and meaning through meditation, prayer, or
spiritual exploration.
 Practice mindfulness and positive thinking like optimism and gratitude in
your daily life.
 Find an activity or hobby that you can become deeply involved in regularly.
 Identify your unique strengths and use them for a purpose that is greater
than yourself.

 Daily practices and routines serve as the building blocks for long-term happiness and
well-being by promoting health, managing stress, enhancing productivity, cultivating
