There’s a massive secret about how to be happy and I’ve cracked it. But, out of the goodness of my heart, I’m going to share it with you. Just don’t tell anyone else. We can’t have everyone being happy now can we?
So here we go, How to be happy in 5 easy steps.
1. Drink tea.
2. Eat chocolate.
3. Do that thing you really want to do.
4. Love hard.
5. Stop and read a book.




Darn, I thought that was MY secret! In revenge, I’m RT’ing your Twitter link so our shared formula will be no secret any more….(here’s hoping)
Fabulous advice :-)
Excellent advice! :)
Xx
Well I’ve got 3 out of 5 – tea, chocolate and books. Now I just have to ignore everyone else and go about putting steps 3 and 4 fully in to operation
simple and beautiful
…and continue to be happy in another 5 steps — 6. Pray 7. Meditate 8. Smile 9. Be with family 10. Sleep early. Great tips, Rebecca!
Love this! I’ll try very hard to adhere to each step. It’ll be tough, I won’t lie, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end ;) x
These are great steps for happiness! I think I have step #2 covered. :)

This is wonderful, Rebecca! And so true. It’s all about really living life…
Excellent advice.
Yes, Rebecca … I would add … drink strong, dark, sweet coffee and remember to dance :)
Mmmmm . . . . taking advantage of #2 on the list right now. :-)
Lovely post, Rebecca. I aim to follow your advice from this day forth… :-)
Very cute post for H. :)
LOL! You had me at ‘eat chocolate’! :D
If I can swap out the tea for an energy drink, then I’m happy! Oh, and maybe Hot Tamales instead.
LOL I like how much emphasis you put on eat chocolate. I agree with number 1 too. =D
Sounds fantastic – I’ve been doing a lot of the reading books (and probably a bit too much of the chocolate eating one) recently and have been loving it.
Reblogged this on Nancy H. Doyle and commented:
Ditto to all five steps. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Love it!
Done the first 3 already and it’s not 8am.
Really struggle with 4 I’m afraid.. pretty useless actually to the point that maybe that gene was omitted from me! Mind you, you do use the word hard.. I do find love hard work.. too much baggage..
5 I can do at the drop of a hat..
Hey,
I found you thanks to the Challenge.
This is great advice on how to be happy. I try to do every one of those daily.
Cheers,
Jen
I try to do all of these but number 4 is my favourite, and so perfectly phrased. x
I’m going to be so swamped by #2 by the end of the day, I won’t be able to move :-)
That’s some good advice. I’d like to think I’ve got 1 and 2 down pat. :)
Have fun with a-z.
*whispers* I won’t tell a soul!
Excellent advice and so easy to remember, too. :) Now I know why I’m happy! :D

Oooh..
Ok, I’d move chocolate to #1, but otherwise I totally agree! What a fun post.
Thanks Julie. I have to agree that chocolate does list quite high on my priority list! :)
