Choose to thrive with these 14 affirmations to increase happiness and positivity in your life, as well as practical ideas to increase joy and good energy.
Dear Spirited Earthling,
Happiness and positivity are two essential aspects of life that we all strive for. Living a happy and positive life can lead to good physical and mental health, stronger relationships, and an overall sense of fulfilment and contentment.
Happiness is an emotion that brings joy and satisfaction to our lives. It is a state of mind that can be achieved through various means, including spending time with loved ones, engaging in activities we enjoy, and achieving our goals. When we are happy, our brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which can lower our stress levels and boost our immune system. Additionally, happiness can lead to a more positive outlook on life, which can help us cope with difficult situations and overcome challenges.
Positivity is a mindset that focuses on the good in life. It involves looking for the silver lining in every situation and choosing to see the best in people and circumstances. Maintaining a positive outlook can lead to lower levels of stress and anxiety and can improve our overall mental health. It can also lead to better relationships with others, as we are more likely to approach them with kindness and understanding.
Affirmations act as a direct pathway to shape the way we think and perceive the world around us. Therefore, saying affirmations for happiness and positivity can be profoundly beneficial for your well-being. Affirmations are gentle reminders that you have the power to choose your thoughts and beliefs.

How to Increase Happiness and Positivity in Life
While we cannot control everything that happens to us, we can control our reaction to it and actively work to increase our happiness levels. Here are some tips to help you increase your happiness and positivity:
Practice Gratitude - Take time each day to focus on the things in your life that you are grateful for. This can be anything from having a roof over your head to having a supportive friend or family member. Focusing on the positive aspects of your life can help shift your perspective and increase your overall happiness.
Exercise Regularly - Exercise has been shown to release endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Even just 30 minutes of exercise per day can help improve your mood and increase your overall happiness.
Surround Yourself with Positivity - Make an effort to spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself and who have a positive outlook on life. Avoid people who bring you down or who are negative.
Engage In Activities That Bring You Joy - Make time for hobbies and activities that you enjoy. This can be anything from reading to painting to hiking to travelling. Doing things that bring you joy can help boost your mood and increase your overall happiness.
Practice Mindfulness - Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Practising mindfulness can help you stay focused on the present and increase your overall sense of well-being.
If you don’t know what makes you happy, then make the time to find out. Keep only things that spark joy around you. Review your daily habits and see if you can make positive changes or stick to things that are serving your best authentic self.
