     Nothing will give you a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, unless you cultivate (滋养)happiness

consciously. Below are some simple yet specific steps you can take to cultivate happiness.

     Be grateful.

     Create a sense of gratitude for what you have, for what is working, for what is wonderful and sweet in

your life. A morning or evening gratitude list, written each day, can do wonders for helping you feel grateful.

     Take care of yourself.

     Identify(辨别) the small things in life that make you feel good, and do one daily. A short walk, a few

minutes of writing in your journal, a short meditation, watching the sunset…whatever, will improve your

outlook on life.

     Read inspirational(励志的) material.

     It helps to be reminded of positive thoughts and positive attitudes. Get a small book of positive, inspirational

thoughts and keep it by your desk. Read one or two thoughts each day.

be happy!
