Ways To Increase Your Happiness

1. Pet dogs

2. Talk to strangers

3. Practice your creativity regularly

4. Meditate

5. Contemplate life and your place in the universe

And think about death.

6. Look at a dad and his daughter

7. Regular, small accomplishments

8. Focus less on yourself

And more on others.

As Buddhist teacher Carol Wilson said on the Ten Percent Happier podcast, suffering comes from making it all about yourself.

9. A deep talk with a new friend

10. Regularly do things you're scared of

It doesn't have to be a deep fear, it can also just be mild discomfort.
