A piece of advice I often see is, Be moderate. Dont have ice cream every night, but if you try to deny yourself...

10 tips for happiness
1. Dont start with profundities.
Rather than jumping in with lengthy daily meditation or answering deep questions of self-identity, start with the basics, like going to sleep at a decent hour and not letting yourself get too hungry. Science backs this up; these two factors have a big impact on happiness.
2. Do let the sun go down on anger.

I wish I would have done #2 more............ 
wsoxfan:
Once again, you've hit the nail on the head. The only one I have doubts about is #3. I've found that trying to act cheerful when feeling badly is first of all, very difficult, and second of all, tends to make me feel even worse. This is probably because It hurts me to know that I'm not rteally happy and have to fake it.
I found this parody on witchcraft on a Pagan site recently - and just had to share it. Largely because of the Witch Wannabees that I have seen on this site and the bad names they give those who have really studied their Craft with good intentions rather than just for appearances. So please take this in the spirit in which it's intended. Remember -...

Made me chuckle.

Myth - Money Can't buy Happiness
Well, money cant buy happiness, but it sure can buy lots of things that contribute mightily to happiness.
As the current financial downturn is making vividly clear, money contributes to happiness mostly in the negative; the lack of it brings much more unhappiness than possessing it brings happiness. (Good health is the same way its easy to take money...

Commandment #2: Act as I Would Feel.
Everyone from contemporary scientists to ancient philosophers to religious leaders agrees: a KEY to happiness is having close relationships with other people. As Bertrand Russell pointed out, "To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness."
But what if you're having trouble liking other people? Sometimes, when I meet...

MY First Commandment - "Be Sherrillee"
Being Sherrillee, and accepting my true likes and dislikes, also means that I have to face the fact that I will never visit a jazz club at midnight, or hang out in artists studios, or jet off to Paris for the weekend, or pack up to go on safari on a spring dawn. I wont be admired for my...

It's so nice to hear that I've inspired you at times. I'm sure it hasn't been nearly as often as the other way around. It's a good feeling to know that I'm cared about, whether by my friends on SG , my family, or anyone else. It makes it easier to continue to fight.

How to Deal with Idiots
Albert Einstein once said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." But it doesn't take a genius to realize we are all surrounded by idiots. Not only that, but we are all idiots at some point. Dealing with this common human condition is unavoidable, but some ways of dealing with it...
