You can make yourself happy by acting happy

Psychology Today has re-released an article from 1992 about the important traits of happy people and how acting as if you are happy can actually make you happy.

And in the Guardian, psychotherapist Philippa Perry outlines four ways you can make yourself happier - I particularly like number 4: developing a fresh perspective on your personal narrative.

By the way - what did you make of all the Blue Monday stuff yesterday? Made-up nonsense of course, but is it useful in getting messages across?
