Happiness Manifesto

1. Get physical. Exercise for half an hour three times a week.

2. Count your blessings. At the end of each day, reflect on at least five things you're grateful for.

3. Talk time. Have an hour-long uninterrupted conversation with your partner or closest friend each week.

4. Plant something. Even if it’s a window box or potted plant. Keep it alive!

5. Cut your TV viewing by half.

6. Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger. At least once each day.

7. Phone a friend. Make contact with at least one friend or relation you have not been in contact for a while and arrange to meet up.

7. Have a good laugh at least once a day.

8. Every day make sure you give yourself a treat. Take time to really enjoy this.

9. Daily kindness. Do an extra good turn for someone each day.
