Practical Steps to Being Happier - Day 4 - Happiness, Behave as If!
One of the best and the majority useful pieces of advice That i have ever been given is this "If you should be ____ then you must behave as if you are ____". YOu can see that this applies not just to being happy but thus, making this relevant for happiness then this advice becomes; "if you should be happy you need to behave as if you are happy."

For me the main influencer of my mood is music. It is actually guaranteed to make me happier and up melancholy depending on my choice! It makes me feel fantastic or sad. I choose my music to fit or change my mood. It never fails.
What music forces you to feel 'good'? Such as, whenever I tune in to Bob Marley's music it will take me right back to your 80's when I was carefree and maturing and makes me feel good. If like me, music lifts your mood, then tune in to more of it while you feel down.
