The mind can easily be guided toward thinking happy thoughts with the use of simple questions.  Regularly asking ourselves the following questions can have a noted effect on our life satisfaction:

• What am I happy about in my life?

• What is going well?

• What am I excited about?

• What can I look forward to?

For best results, ask yourself these questions each morning and at the end of the day.  Be sure to take a few minutes to dwell on the pleasant and inspiring answers.
