Happiness Advantage

Train your brain to be more positive, and you receive a host of benefits.  Hm...  The benefits of a positively oriented brain are familiar to me.  I wonder if following the five suggestions they have would make me even happier.  Follow these suggestions for 21 days to improve your happiness doesn't sound so hard.

3 Gratitude - Writing three things each day that you are grateful for makes your brain begin scanning the world for positive rather than negative things.  
Journaling - If you write about a positive experience, it allows your brain to relive it.  
Exercise - Teaches your brain that your behavior matters
Meditation - Allows your brain to get over the cultural ADHD created by our multitasking culture
Random Acts of Kindness - Write 1 email every day praising or thanking one person in your social support network.  

Let's see... I'd say that if you do each of these things every day, we'd be talking about 40-60 mins/day.  I'm going to give it a shot and try it out!  :)
