There is no one–size–fits–all answer to this question. A good chunk of happy mood is controlled by your genes but there’s a lot you can do to make yourself happier. Many techniques have been repeatedly tested and even worked with the clinically depressed.
Happiness, like so many other things, must be cultivated and actively pursued. Some days are easy breezy. You wake up in a great mood, your hair looks terrific and the sun is shining. Other days you wake up and drink all the coffee, hate your clothes, stub your toe and wonder how you’re going to get through the day. To reduce the latter and increase the former, take action!
