4. Eat breakfast. According to dieticians, one of the smartest ways to happiness is to start your day with a balanced meal which includes protein and carbohydrates.  If you skip breakfast you essentially deny your body a chance to kick-start the day positively and this adversely affects your mood and emotions. 

5. Exercising. Exercising boosts our mood and makes us feel energised and happier. However, studies have proved that exercising near others, for instance, running in a park or on a treadmill near someone improve our mood more than being out alone. Watching others inspires us to work out harder and longer, making us feel more committed to the activity, which in turn helps us feel better.
   

6. Instil a sense of purpose. One of the easiest ways to happiness is to instil a sense of purpose or give a meaning to our life. Research at an American University has found that having a sense of purpose is a significant predictor of happiness and life satisfaction. To create a vision of what is meaningful, it is important to ask yourself what is it that makes you happy, what matters most to you or what do you want to be remembered for.
   

7. Penning your thoughts. Psychiatrists believe that jotting down bad feelings, memories, or stressful thoughts on paper can help us get out of depression faster. This is one of the effortless ways to happiness.
