Being positive is good for your mind, body and soul. You smile more, laugh and enjoy life, which attracts great people around you. Positivity keeps stress at bay, the number one culprit for lethargy and aging.

Positive thinking helps you develop your creative problem solving skills. Your ability to rationalize will increase.

Even knowing all the benefits, its still too easy to be in a bad mood. So here are 7 little tips on how to instantly be happier, healthier and wise:

1. Choose Positive Thoughts - Its alot easier said than done sometimes. But there are many exercises you can do (like hypnosis or the silva method) to understand your own negative thought patterns so you can change them to positive, resourceful beliefs.

2. Give Someone A Compliment - Smiles are contagious. When you see someone smile, you will instantly smile. They are also more likely to reciprocate, but as they say, its better to give than to receive.

3. Take Care Of Your Appearance - How you feel on the outside reflects what is going on inside. When you take a little extra time to iron your favorite shirt or get a new haircut, you feel good about yourself. The little things are very powerful.

4. Talk To A Stranger - Many of us these days are so focused on where we are going and what we need to get done, that we hardly stop and take time to smell the roses. Human beings need social interaction. You could even make a new friend, or even more ;).

5. Visualize Your Success - When you take the time to imagine and really see and feel what your success will be, it instantly gives you a great feeling. Not only this, but visualization is a powerful manifestation technique. Visualization makes you happy right now, but also brings you closer to achieving your goals.

6. Sing- We all don’t have the voice of an angel, but everyone likes to sing, regardless of whether they admit it or not. So if your more of a shy type, start holding concerts in your shower and start your day off on the right note.

7. Decide to be Happy - Just choose happiness, right now, as you read this. It is just as easy as that.
