After doing this exercise you will feel much happier. And you will have done it without having to spend any money on expensive clothes, cars or holidays!

2 Spread happiness

Now that you feel happy you will radiate this to whoever you spend time with. Happiness is infectious. Just be yourself and top up happiness by quietly asking yourself above three questions when you are in company.

3 Show your friends and family how to be happy

Depending on how well you know your friends you may want to approach this step in one of two ways.

If you want to play it safe ask your friend to talk about times when she was happy. Let her talk and just listen as she relives those wonderful times from past.

Share your own favorite moments too. Enjoy yourself!

If people you are with are more open to ideas we are discussing here take them through steps I covered above in section one. Ask them these questions:

- who do you love most in my life? - what do you love most about myself? - what things do you love most in my life?

The Dalai Lama teaches that purpose of life is to be happy. Go on and live a life of purpose with your family and friends!

Now pick a second experience. Something that involves dealing with people. And make sure it is a situation where you have capability to handle it only your confidence is low.

Now compare how you represent these two experiences in your mind in terms of pictures, sounds and feelings.

Take second experience and change way you think about it by giving picture, sound and feeling same qualities as first experience. i.e. picture size and color, sound volume and pitch, intensity of feelings.

Imagine you are tuning in pictures, sounds and feelings in same way you would tune in a TV

This is difficult to do first time you try it but it gets easier with practice.

Why does this process work?

Because way you represent experiences in your mind determines how you feel. Its like when you watch a scary movie and you heart is pounding even though you are not in danger.

Certain images, certain sounds and a certain atmosphere all combine to change how you feel. However if you changed one key element you would no longer feel scared.

For example if sound changed to become a high pitched cartoon like voice you might even smile and laugh.
