We are looking for happiness – from our jobs, our loved ones, our lives. The reality is happiness has to come from yourself. If you don't love yourself, no one else will either.

We tend to forget just how wonderful we are. So here are a couple things you can do to feel good now.

1. Do something nice for someone - without expecting anything in return. This can be doing a favor for a friend, volunteering or donating your time or money to charity. Not only does it feel good to give, it reminds you of how much you have to offer other people.

2. Forgive – Holding grudges is the most draining and tiring thing you can do to yourself. When you hold negative feelings towards someone, it begins to own you. When you can forgive and let go – of the past and your ego- you will truly be free and happy.

3. Treat Your Body – With proper nutrition! When your sick and in pain, its hard to feel good. By getting all your essential vitamins and minerals, not only will you instantly feel better, but over time you will look better.

4. Have a “complain” free day – Give up complaining ,just for a day, and you will instantly see the positive boost in your life.  Complaining is not only negative, draining and annoying, but it also stops you from solving problems. So the next time you feel the need to complain, try to think about how you can resolve the problem.

5. Meditate – Meditation is the best thing you can do for yourself – inside and out. The benefits of stress relief is that you become more calm and at peace. When you spend time actively relaxing, your body will also receive the benefits of renewed energy and better circulation. You can try the silva method or any method of meditation for these benefits.

6. Plan to have a good laugh – Whether its spending time with your funniest friends, TV show or movie. The act of planning is what is imperative here. The anticipation of having a good laugh will boost your mood just as much as the activity itself.

7. Spend time on yourself – Whether its getting a new haircut, reading a good book and just spending time pampering yourself. Its important to make time for yourself, to remind you of how important you are. If you love yourself, you will love your life.
