Do you ever just feel like you need a positive change or a pick-me-up? Here are some helpful tips on proven ways to be Happy.
1. Learn to quickly rejuvenate
In the rush of everyday life, you’ll often find yourself racing from one event to the other, with almost no time in between. What can you do to refresh and rejuvenate in just 20 minutes? This quick routine can help you hit the reset button on body, mind, and spirit. Lay on the ground and prop you feet up on a wall. Close your eyes and RELAX. The blood return to your core and give you an extra boost! Yes this is a picture of my firends and I practicing this at a wedding 
2. Practice mindfulness
The practice of mindfulness (referred to as smrti in Buddhism) leads to concentration (samadhi), which in turn leads to insight (prajna). The insight you gain from meditation can liberate you from fear, anxiety, and anger — allowing you to be truly happy.
3. Add chickpeas to your diet
Chickpeas contain folate (folic acid), which helps make dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure. Other folate-friendly foods include lentils, black-eyed peas, and soybeans. These ingredients are often found in Indian food. Check out Armit Palace Indian Restaurant 2635 Southwest College Road, Ocala, FL
