For years I've advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness.

I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play that I had that day. I don't write down any negatives.

Sometimes moving your body can bring you into a better place mentally and emotionally.

Choosing to be grateful earns you happiness

Gratitude incorporates both the heart and mind, and instantly paves the shortest road to happiness.

After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart.

If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

If you're not feeling good and you want to change the way you feel, or if you want to lift good feelings higher, then take a minute or two and god through a mental list of everything you love and adore. You can do it while getting dressed in the morning, walking, driving or traveling anywhere.

They say that negative things like stress, anxiety, tension, sorrow, and depression "squeeze the tube" so ideas don't flow through it. But if you get rid of that negativity, which goes away naturally when you transcend every day, these ideas are more freely flowing, and you get happy in the doing. You get fresh and inspiring ideas, and a bigger picture starts to emerge of the world and life. It's very good for the artist, businessman, fisherman, and any kind of person really.

The best recipe for happiness and contentment I've seen is this: dig a big hole in the garden of your thoughts and put into it all your disillusions, disappointments, regrets, worries, troubles, doubts, and fears. Cover well with the earth of fruitfulness. Water it from the well of contentment. Sow on top the seeds of hope, courage, strength, patience, and love. Then when the time for gathering comes, may your harvest be a rich and fruitful one.

If you want to be healthy study health... if you want to be wealthy, study wealth... if you want to be happy, study happiness.

There's no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.

Your determination to become a more optimistic person in every part of your life will do more to ensure your success and happiness than any other single quality you can develop.

Every day, set your mind in the right direction. Find something to be grateful for.

I find the joy of the 'doing' increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself. My outlook is more positive and I am happy.
