when you are happy. You need to have something to contrast your happiness
with. What is black without white?

2. Smile! Yes, just smile. Easy to do and effective.
3. Repeat positive affirmations. Things like "I feel good","Positive
energy flows through my body", "I see the good inall".
4. Listen to some music that you like. It doesn't have to beany thing
specific, just something you enjoy. Certain types of music work better than
others, but experiment and see what works for you. Studies have shown that
Classical music and new agemusic work best.

for yourself.

you in all that you do. If you are one who has a hard time sitting still,
then try some special meditation CDs that coax your brain into the
meditative state. Just search for "Meditation music" on Google or Yahoo and
explore.
