Being thankful is a positive emotion in itself，so it's no surprise that people who are told to express more gratitude(感激)find themselves becoming gradually happier over time.At the end of each day，write down three good things that happened that day，and why they happened.This simple change of focus，over time，can lead to significant increase in happiness.

　　Have you heard the old saying“Stick to your strengths.”？Well，it's actually pretty good advice.Research has shown that people who recognize their personal strengths and make full use of them on a daily basis gradually become happier.

　　Encouragingly，random(任意的)acts of kindness are not only beneficial to the receiver；they also make the giver happier.This could mean helping a friend，a family member，or even a complete stranger affects your own happiness.

　　Do you ever take the time to remember the good old days？In one study，people who were told to spend 15 minutes a day looking back on their happy memories ended up happier than people asked to think about sad memories.For benefit，don't explain your happy memories，and don't compare the past to the present.Just relive the good times in your mental theatre.

　　The striking feature of all these exercises is how simple they are，and yet over time their effects can be significant.

　　Of course，these exercises will not bring you“true”happiness；research has shown these techniques can at least lead people in the right direction.Why not pick one，and try it out for a couple of weeks？
