In daily life, we each have our ‘happiness reference point’. Think of the contentment spectrum as a city skyscraper: The closer your elevator is to the penthouse office, the happier you are. Depending upon our personality types, some of us find it easy to keep our elevator needle set at ecstatic, while others are hovering near the lobby of depression.

Regardless of our current location on this spectrum, we always operate within a standard deviation of our set point. But when we put great habits into practice, we tend to operate well above that set point. Allow me to share with you 10 tiny but effective habits that push my happiness through the roof. Be inspired by them to reach deep within yourself, and before you know it, you'll discover which of these healthy habits can work for you too. Enjoy your ride to the top!
