Happiness isn’t served on a silver platter.

10 “Happy Habits” Successful People Do Differently

Some people like to wait and see if happiness will ever just happen to them. Maybe one day, they’ll wake up and suddenly be happy and everything will be fantastic.

But we all know it doesn’t work like that. In order to be happy, we first have to be intentional about creating a healthy lifestyle.

And I don’t just mean “healthy” in the fitness side of things (although this certainly is a part!). A healthy lifestyle includes many things like exercise, self-care, positive relationships, and much more!

I’ve found that the happiest and most successful people often set goals for themselves. They dream big and have life-fulfilling visions that give them purpose and meaning.

Today, I want to share with you 10 “Happy Habits” that I believe every successful person does differently.

A lot of you know my story. I’ve definitely struggled with feeling unhappy. After I got injured, I lived on my sister’s couch. I wasn’t exactly in the most happy place.

I wanted happiness to just happen to me. But it didn’t. I had to get off that couch and move toward that happiness, and that struggle made me a better, stronger person.

In this episode, I share some tips that I have found helpful to my life that I’m sure you will be able to apply to yours! Forming these habits made me not only happier but more successful too!

I also share some of Dr. Nicole LePera’s wisdom on creating healthy boundaries for your relationships. This is key to happiness. If your relationships are unbalanced and toxic, you will inevitably become bitter, hurt and resentful. Dr. LePera is a Holistic Psychologist who believes that mental wellness is for everyone, and her advice on relationships will blow you away!
