Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy protects boomer women from the many of the stresses of life.

Boomer women know that all things change and that it is up to you to keep yourself happy.  You also know that you have the power to make the necessary changes whenever you want to. Even if boomer women find yourselves in an unbearable situation you can always find solace in the knowledge that it too will pass that change is inevitable and that you can still choose happiness.

Being happy begins with the conscious thought to be happy.  One of the ways boomer women express their happiness is by developing an attitude of gratitude.  Boomer women have so much to be thankful for.  And you express genuine thanks whenever someone does something for you; be it the taxi driver or the priest.

Boomer women have learned that laughter is good for the mind body and spirit so you laugh and laugh heartily everyday.  If you’ve been hiding your laughter with a chuckle or behind your hand, promise that you will practice laughing out loud at least once a day.  Notice how much better you feel.

Do you express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you regularly?  This is a sure way to add happiness for yourself and others.  Working on things that bring joy and satisfaction gives boomer women a sense of accomplishment and completion which increase your level of happiness.

Exercising is also a sure way for boomer women to increase your happiness.  There’s something about being in nature that really perks you up.  Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Abraham Lincoln said “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

How happy will you decide to be today no matter what?
