Happiness is a choice. The more happiness you choose, the more 
life presents you with experiences to feel happy about. If you 
are feeling blue or even downright depressed, you must make the 
decision to "get happy." 

The following tips can help you; however, if you are seriously 
depressed, get some professional help. There are many new 
cutting-edge energy therapies that clear away negative emotions 
and negative thinking. 

Find a professional who is more interested in giving you tools 
and guidance in generating more happiness than in trying to 
figure out why you feel the way you do. It is not necessary to 
find out why we feel sad or depressed to clear these feelings. 

The bottom line is, if we give a lot of attention to what we 
don't want, we create more of it. To learn more about energy 
therapies that are designed to work with the mind/body energy 
system, including thoughts and feelings, go to:

1.  Choose to be happy rather than right.
2.  Repeat aloud: "It doesn't matter."
3.  Pay it forward.  For every kind deed offered to you, do a
    kind deed for someone else.
4.  Write thank-you notes frequently.  The energy of gratitude 
    feeds happiness.
5.  Smile-even if you don't feel like it.  You eventually will!
6.  "Tap-out" your sad feelings.  Using your fingertips, tap all 
    over the top of your head while repeating: "I am free of 
    this sadness. I am now feeling happy."  Tapping on the 
    nerve endings on the top of your head will start to lift 
    this heavy, sad energy.
7.  When you think a complimentary thought about someone-tell 
    them.
8.  Refrain from making judgments-think something positive 
    instead.
9.  Whistle.
10. Skip around your house.
11. Turn on your favorite upbeat song and sing along.
12. Ask your angels to flow to you the energy of happiness.
13. Patch your right eye if you are thinking negative thoughts. 
    When you put an eye patch on your right eye, you quiet 
    the left brain and its negative chatter.
14. Hug someone-tightly.
15. Ask your children to tuck you in bed and read you a story 
    for a change.
16. Stay in the present.  Let the future be just that: the 
    future.
17. Hold a newborn baby and welcome them into the world.
18. Give some service to someone who is more needy than you.
19. Exercise regularly.
20. Pray and meditate.

And, just because I like to give a little extra, because it 
makes me happy,

21. Love yourself and make the choice to "BE HAPPY."
