1. Express Gratitude
Start each day by saying one thing you are thankful for. Is it your family? Is it your job? Is it your cat? Whatever it is, just express gratitude. In doing so, you slowly began to appreciate the small things that bring you joy.These little moments of gratitude become little moments of happiness. Over time, saying thank you can become a habit and ultimately lose its impact on you.
Each time you thank someone, reflect on what their actions mean to you and think about the little piece of joy they have granted you.

4. Tell Someone One Thing You Love About Them
Just as generosity brings happiness, so does kindness. When you tell someone about something special you see in them, you turn on a light for them.You let them know that they are special and that you appreciate them. This metaphorical light, in turn becomes contagious and shines unto you as well.
This shining creates a feeling of accomplishment because you made someone else happy and a feeling of closeness because you’ve reminded yourself of the value another person brings into your life.
