Happy people live longer, healthier lives than grumpy folks, according to researchers who reviewed the records of people who completed a personality test in the early 1960s. Three decades later, they found pessimists, as compared with optimists, had an increased risk for death. The more pessimistic the personality, the greater the risk. In a follow-up study, optimistic people had better health in all areas.

Introduce more humor into your life. Laughing helps your blood vessels expand and increase blood flow, which helps lower blood pressure. So, for example, try watching more funny movies.

Spending time with Man's Best Friend has measurable health benefits. Researchers at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles found in people hospitalized with heart failure a 12-minute visit with a volunteer dog lowered blood pressure by 10 percent, reduced anxiety by 24 percent, and reduced the release of stress hormones by 17 percent.

Slow down and make time for your happiness. Every day, make it a point to enjoy two special little things that are important to you, whether it be talking to a friend or listening to your favorite music.

To increase your serenity, try to spend 15 minutes alone doing nothing every day. Just be still or do something that requires no thought, such as gazing at a sunset or looking at a painting.
