Are you looking for the ways to bring back your smile?
Considering that life can be boring, the need to make it extraordinary is more than necessary.
But sometimes, this goal looks like will be never accomplished.
In fact, there are some amazing ways to make you happy again.

Yes, meditation is numero uno for a reason!
Shawn Achor, the author of The Happiness Advantage, says:
“Studies show that in the minutes right after meditating, we experience feelings of calm and contentment, as well as heightened awareness and empathy. And, research even shows that regular meditation can permanently rewire the brain to raise levels of happiness.”
In another study, undertaken by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, scientists compared the before and after brain scans of individuals who participated in an eight-week course on mindfulness meditation. After completing the course, the 16-person group showed considerable growth in the brain regions linked to self-awareness and compassion.
2. HELP OTHERS – JUST READ THIS.
In our consumer-driven culture, everything revolves around “me, me, me.” That’s why it may seem counterintuitive that the most successful, happiest people are often the most generous.
Adam Grant, a professor at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, recommends one of his favorite techniques, the “Five-Minute Favor”:
“What if I just took a couple minutes every day to try to help someone in a way that it’s sort of a small commitment to me, but could be of large benefit to them?”
Okay, so you probably knew this one already!
But check this study out:
“In one experiment…sleep-deprived college students tried to memorize a list of words. They could remember 81% of the words with a negative connotation, like “cancer.” But they could remember only 31% of the words with a positive or neutral connotations, like “sunshine” or “basket.”
Some scientists posit that sleep deprivation targets the hippocampus, which is responsible for processing positive or neutral memories, is responsible for such effects.
Brene Brown, Ph.D., says “In 12 years of research, I have never interviewed a single person with the capacity to really experience joy who does not actively practice gratitude.”
Those who engage in a regular gratitude practice (mine is closing my eyes and picturing the smiling faces of three loved ones) report:
– feeling happier and less depressed
– having better sleep quality
– being more likely to engage in healthy behaviors, such as exercise
