Do you struggle to feel genuinely joyful throughout your everyday life?

Are you spending most of the day smiling and laughing? Or does it take something truly momentous for you to feel that rush of happiness?

Perhaps you know someone who appears to be in a fantastic mood all the time.

Meanwhile, you’re constantly feeling sluggish, downcast and in a struggle to get through the day.

You may tell yourself that consistently happy people have something you don’t.

But that’s not necessarily true.

It’s possible for anyone to naturally cultivate a high baseline level of happiness, regardless of the money in their pocket or resources at their disposal.

No, it doesn’t involve taking mind-altering substances either.

Read on for eight actions you can take to naturally increase your levels of everyday happiness.
