If you want to be happy, stop waiting for others to make you happy.

Just decide to be happy. If your life seems too dreary, smile anyway.

This may seem like Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky nonsense at first, but it is very much rooted in the physiological reality of your brain.

Also, smiling is contagious.  Very few people can resist urge to smile back when you smile at them.

As wonderful as a smile is, laughter is even better.

The old saying “Laughter is the best medicine” is literally true.

Laughter boosts the immune system and reduces the stress response, and thus is excellent for brain health.

Furthermore, good attitude and lots of positive social interaction seem to reduce the risk of dementia and other aging-related brain disorder.

A happy brain, it seems, is a healthy brain.

Brain Sensitizing consists of three key practices.

Finally, there is basic energy meditation.

This practice encourages you to view Ki energy as the link between body and mind, expanding your awareness and increasing brain clarity.
