Secrets of HAPPY PEOPLE

Have you ever felt like it’s time to grab life with both hands? Big or small, the change itself is entirely up to you – it’s the act of stepping outside your comfort zone every now and then that extends your capacity for enjoyment and increases those feelings of wellbeing.

“While some people see the sunny side of life no matter what comes their way, others struggle in their pursuit of happiness – but it doesn’t have to be this way,” says psychologist Clare Mann. “It’s a matter of changing the way you look at life.”

That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to bungee-jump over that croc infested river – unless you want to! “It could be something as simple as standing up and speaking in front of your book club or putting your hand up for a volunteer role on your local fundraising committee,” Mann explains. “While you might feel nervous initially, there can be a huge sense of pride that comes from embracing the unknown, which you didn’t have before.”

Not only will it make you feel more alive thanks to a surge of adrenaline and feel-good hormones, but you’ll also find it much easier to push your boundaries in the future. Here are some more great ways to get happy.
