14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
Sixty percent of happiness depends on your DNA and life circumstances, but what you think and do affect the other 40 percent—sweet news for your state of mind. So take two weeks and try our joy-inducing plan. You'll be amazed at what one small tweak a day can do. The proof is in the positivity!
Day 1
BLISS BOOSTER
Treat yourself to mini-pockets of fun throughout your day. Eat dessert after lunch and dinner, savoring only a few bites each time. (More sweet stuff to anticipate!) Curl up with a novel every few hours, but read only a page or two. Or, when you've got the blahs, visit CuteOverload.com, but limit browsing to two minutes.
PLEASURE PAYOFF
"As good as they feel, joyful emotions are by nature short-lived," says Jonathan Haidt, Ph.D., author of The Happiness Hypothesis. That's because we get used to them, which is why the 10th spoonful of ice cream is rarely as good as the first. But by serving yourself little dollops of pleasure repeatedly, you'll extend the joy. And because you're indulging in only a bit at a time, your pleasures won't become stale. —Erin Bried

Day 14
BLISS BOOSTER
When you have something unpleasant to do, like a hellacious commute or an appointment at the dentist, give yourself a positive finish to look forward to. When you reach the end of a long car ride, crank up your radio and groove out to "Mr. Roboto." After the cavity filling, treat yourself to a walk in the park.
PLEASURE PAYOFF
Life as we live it and life as we remember it are two different things. When people look back on their day, it's the very best and the very worst moments that tend to have the greatest effect on how they remember it, a study in Emotion reports. What's more, people tend to recall feeling angrier, sadder and more tense during the worst moments than they actually reported experiencing during the event itself. "If you engineer a positive outcome, you'll help offset a negative one," says study author Talya Miron-Shatz, Ph.D., founding director of the Center for Medical Decision Making at Ono Academic College. Not only will you recall a tough week at work, but you'll also recall that luxe mani-pedi on Friday evening. So go live happily for these two weeks—and ever after!
