-Set aside a worry time, such as half an hour after work.
If worries come up at other times, put them out of your mind until worry time.
-Practise random acts of kindness.
Research shows altruism is a powerful catalyst for happiness.
-Redefine happiness.
Some people think happiness only means pure joy, but it is also includes emotions such
as contentment. Work out what happiness means to you.
-Be curious.
Set aside time to do something new, such as taking up a new sport or visiting a
different town.
Being happy could add years to your life. While happiness doesn't cure illness, it does help healthy people live about 7.5 to 10 years longer, according to an analysis of more than 30 studies. "The size of the effect is comparable to that of smoking or not," says lead researcher Professor Ruut Veenhoven from the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
