9 Steps to Greater happinessClick to Enlarge!
The past year of my life has been filled with joy and laughter, pity and sorrow. I have learned more in 12 months than I ever really thought I would. Life truly is full of peaks and valleys. Reaching the top of a peak does not mean that we conquered it, but rather conquered something inside of ourselves.

I have conquered many peaks in the past year that have resulted in a more peaceful, humble and happy way of life.

This article is intended to give you nine simple things you can start doing now to live a happier life. They have worked for me and I do not see why they cannot do the same for you.  I truly believe a happy life is one worth living and life is too short to not experience the true joy that it beholds.

  1. Run For the Hills: Make some time to spend some time outside. Get out, explore, be free.
  2. Help Someone: Get outside of yourself! Volunteer for a whole day!
  3. Practice Gratitude: It is true that grateful people are happier and happy people are grateful.
  4. Exercise: Work out that body of yours for 30 minutes three times per week. It helps!
  5. Meditate: - In a noisy world, find silence. Tune out and tune it to you.
  6. Eat Healthy: Become conscious of what you are putting into your body. Is it helping or hurting?
  7. Set Goals: -  Find yourself and set some goals! What makes you tick?
  8. Challenge - Take on a 30 day challenge! Do something new that pushes your limits.
  9. Smile - Smile at some strangers! They will smile back and you will feel better :) 

I hope you find more peace and clarity in your life by taking action on all or some of these. This is by no means an exhaustive list and I realize that you may have some things that work great for you.

What makes you happy? What do you do when you are feeling down? Please share!

Summit as friends!
Scott
