. 
Exercise Your Mind- Every day, take a half hour or so for some games that will exercise your mind. Number games seem to really do the trick, like Sudoku. Word games are also helpful and fun. Write poetry. Take a class at your local college.
.
Engage in a Fulfilling ProjectWhether you volunteer at a hospital or build an entire city for that train set you've always wanted take on an activity or project you will enjoy doing..
. 
Appreciate The Beauty In Front of You. Beauty isn’t always the most eye-catching car or sexy person you see. In fact the story of Beauty and the Beast is a prime example of that, but there are other things we come in contact with each and every day that have great beauty. This morning, for example I walked outside in my back yard and noticed new flowers on a tree. A bird visited to see if I had left any birdseed for it. The sunrise was a splash of gorgeous cotton candy pink. Take a moment and look around. You don’t even have to get in your car to find beauty. Savor it. Look for the beauty in a friend or even a stranger’s small gesture or smile; A twinkle in the eye of a child. Beauty is everywhere.
.
Be Grateful For What You Have No matter if you are rich or poor, have good or bad health, attractive or not, being content and grateful for what you have will help you enjoy retirement and feel happier than people who are always concerned with superficial things.
.
Look For The Positive In Your Live.  I’m going to use an example to illustrate this point: It is inevitable that if you are married or in a relationship the other person will make you angry, or disappoint you at times. (I’m not talking about someone who is damaging your self-esteem or abusing you. I’m talking about forgetting the tomatoes you asked them to pick up at the store or not remembering what you hinted about them buying you for Christmas kind of thing.) Yes, you can feel hurt or even angry but don’t stay in that place long. You have a choice. You can either focus on negative personality traits, or on the positive. If you find yourself focusing on something negative, step back and remember all of the things you really love about that person. This holds true for everything in your life; your career, your finances, everything.
.
Connect With Nature. I’m a sucker for Nature. It is an amazing balm for the stresses in life. (I just noticed a bunny in front of my front window. Made me smile.) Take a car or bike ride around and outside your neighborhood, or to a park where you can sit and enjoy the scenery. Watch the kids swing, the dogs run in the dog park. 
I used to come home from work and drive my kids to the beach to watch the sun go down. It was always a race to see if we could get there in time. My husband and I still love the color of the sky just before the sun sets or the pinkish gold light that comes after a storm.


Laugh.  Laughing is known to actually help heal your body so surround yourself with fun people and have a blast. Watch a funny movie with someone and enjoy an evening of laughter. e e cummings once said “the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” Maybe that's why I love a good sit-com.
.
Connect With People. In so many ways, it is our relationships with people that give us the most happiness in life. Surround yourself with family, friends and acquaintances and build rewarding bonds with them. Don’t have family around? Find things to do to build relationships from a distance. No friends in the area? Join clubs, be active in your church events, and get out there and meet people.
.
Participate in Simple Pleasures. My husband and I were talking the other day. We were thinking about our time back in the D.C. area. I admitted that my best day was the day we rode bikes on a dirt road around a historic farm and down by the river. Out of all the things we did, that is the one that sticks with me and makes me smile every time I think about it. I love having breakfast with my husband watching the morning news…drinking hot chocolate when it’s cold outside, watching the birds gather string for their nests, and looking at beautiful cloud formations. They are simple pleasures anyone can enjoy. You don’t have to be rich and you don’t even have to go very far to enjoy them. Just slow down and take the time to appreciate ordinary events that are going on all around you.
.
Learn Something New. There is a strong link between learning and happiness. It gives a sense of accomplishment. Take a class at a local community college. Join a club that is heavily involved with making jewelry, wood working etc. There are tons of opportunities to stimulate your brain out there. Audiobooks and podcasts are more resources for you.
.
Celebrate Successes. They don’t have to be big. During a normal day we all have our share of small successes. Maybe you played along with a game show contestant on television and answered more questions correctly than they did. Maybe you raised a near perfect ripe-red tomato, or fixed a broken hinge. Maybe you calmed an irate customer where you work, or made a stranger smile. These minor achievements aren’t worth throwing a party for, but they are nonetheless small successes. Take a moment and pat yourself on the back. Share the experience with someone else in your life, reward yourself with a nice lunch out.

According to Charles R. Swindoll, “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. …It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill…..The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day….I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% of how I react to it…”
