Happiness - Can you boost it?

I am SO happy today.  I'm happy most days.  Life is good.  And I'm grateful for my kids, my family and my friends.

Can you boost your happiness?

Here's a story from CNN:

7 ways to boost your happiness - CNN.com

The article basically tells you if you pretend to be happy, you will be happy.

I think it's much deeper than that.

You can give me all the studies in the world but I know the true secret to happiness.

I live by the statement "Ignorance is bliss."  I don't focus on all of the small stuff anymore.  I don't worry about it and I don't dwell on the negatives.  I look at the positives and what I'm grateful for instead.  Life will keep moving forward with or without my stress level increasing.  I tend to my daily business, of course, but I don't stress out anymore and it's led to a happier life.

There's more that I've learned on my own and I'm working on a book about having good health. Happiness is a part of good health.

In the words of Bobby McFerrin... Don't Worry Be Happy.

This is a great song to keep on your iTunes playlist!
