1. Be more honest and communicative
Sincerity is one of the most valued qualities in any person and one of the most valuable to maintain a healthy relationship of any kind. Lies never benefit either party and always have a way out. Even if our intentions in hiding such information were good, when it is discovered, the damage can be even greater. Trust is based on this principle: always tell the truth. Also in the case of communication, one of the skills that must be worked the most in any type of emotional bond. We are made to share our knowledge and feelings, and we can only do this from authenticity. Remember that it is the first step towards a fuller life.

2. Don't hold back displays of affection
Don't stop showing your affection to your loved ones. This positive energy will spread to all of them and they will return it to you with gratitude. Your example will teach others how to be happier through loving gestures.
}3. Work your empathy
It is defined as the "ability to identify with someone and share her feelings" according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy. We must help those around us to get out of that situation that causes them discomfort. Or, on the contrary, infect you with their joy! And this is a skill that can be worked on from childhood.

4. Help others
Probably, with the previous advice you already intuited that this would also be on the list. But perhaps you have not stopped to think about the power that small gestures can have in your routine and in that of others. If you see that someone needs to lower a trolley or suitcase down some stairs and cannot, or is unable to hold the door of the portal while taking the shopping bags, offering you is a way to improve their situation, even for a moment. And afterward, you will feel much better too.

5. Always give something to others
How to be happier is a question that has obsessed many researchers and they have discovered several ways to be happy. Being generous is one of the best ways to do it! And it is that the results of the investigation titled ‘Spending Money on Others Promotes Happiness’ affirm that dedicating a percentage of your money, whatever it is, in a gift for a loved one has a great impact. The same goes for volunteering. Supporting a cause has a positive impact on your environment, and also on yourself.
6. Learn to let go of what doesn't do you good.
The Harvard study also points out that men, as they got older, focused on the things that mattered most to them. In fact, Dr. Robert Waldinger, director of the same, says that "they tend to realize that life is short and are more likely to pay attention to everything that produces happiness in that moment." That is, they let go of what torments them in their past and everything they do not like about their present to focus only on the good things. So, we recommend that you maintain a positive attitude and stay away from toxic situations or people around you.

7. And enjoy yourself
Spending some time taking care of yourself, both on the outside and on the inside, is essential. In order to carry out all of the above, you first have to be happy with yourself. One of the ways to do this is to relieve some of the pressure of our busy routine and really connect with the moment you are living. Taking a bath, taking a getaway or enjoying yourself in peace, without the pressures of work and house or family maintenance can work miracles. And we don't say it, this Harvard Business School study says it, which explains how to be happier spending your money on the things that matter, for example on 'buying' time so that you can dedicate it to doing what you like the most.
