5 WAYS TO SPARK JOY

Practise these habits of happy people to fill your cup this summer

- 

1 FEEL ACCEPTANCE

Stressing about things we can't control is a surefire way to lower your positive vibes.

Overall, happy people accept life isn't perfect and instead of battling wars they can't win - like rain on a picnic or missing out on a promotion - they put their energy into things they can influence, like being flexible and getting new skills.

TRY THIS: The next time something doesn't go your way, look for opportunities rather than just focusing on the negative. What have you learnt? Could there be a better option around the corner?

2 BE GRATEFUL

While it's easier to focus on what we want, optimistic people shine a spotlight on what they have. Rather than taking a loving family, good health and a steady income for granted, happy people take the time to appreciate and show gratitude for all the little things in life.
