Just like any other skills, you'll get better at utilizing these strategies with practice and perseverance. Stick at it and happiness will be yours.

2. Focus on your strengths, not weaknesses.

Work out what you're good at and find ways to do it as much as possible. Happiness is not as much about fixing your faults and overcoming your weaknesses as it is about finding ways to focus your life on and around your talents and qualities.

3. Have fun and enjoy humour

Take delight in life and create fun experiences for yourself. Don't make life be too heavy.

Cultivate the feeling that you are in control of your own destiny. Happiness can be enhanced by maximizing the control you have over your life. So learn and practice skills such as problem solving, time management and meditation and communication.

At the same time, however, no one has complete control and so it is also important to be realistic and to accept that over which you have no control. Accept what you can't control. And learn to change problems into opportunities for growth and development.

5. Invest time and energy in to your key relationships.

Happy people spend more time working on, and in, their relationships. Happy people tend to be more supportive of other people in their life.

Everything you do and every person you meet, in every situation, presents an opportunity to learn, change and grow. Every situation you find yourself in can be a great opportunity to expand yourself.

There is always something to learn from a problem. This is the same for problems in a relationship. Look at problems as challenges to learn and grow from both for yourselves and your relationship.

7. Replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk

It is said by expert that the central method for achieving a happier life is to train your mind in a daily practice that weakens negative attitudes and strengthens positive ones. Learn first to identify your negative thoughts and then begin to challenge those that are negative and unhelpful.

8. Ensure you get adequate sleep, rest, exercise and water

Listen to your body and what it is telling you. You need to take care of yourself and this also involves getting plenty of rest, drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day and relaxation and/or meditation strategies. Exercise regularly. Exercising produces endorphins or "happy" hormones.

9. Develop a sense of life purpose.

Developing a sense of life purpose will also markedly increase your chances of experiencing true happiness. As well as working out where you want to get to, make sure you have a good reason for why you're trying to go there.

10. Be grateful and appreciate what you have.

Finally, there's no doubt, that gratitude and appreciation will significantly increase your chances of experiencing happiness.
