In pursing happiness, we often find ourselves searching for the elusive "how." How can we consistently invite joy into our lives? The answer may lie in our habits, those deeply ingrained things we do regularly and repeatedly. Habits can be either bad or good, so of course, the key is to try to break the negative behaviors and encourage the positive.

If you are looking for inspiration to add new healthy behaviors to your routine, you may draw inspiration from Healthline’s suggestions: How to Be Happy: 27 Habits to Add to Your Routine. These research-backed ideas are broken down into daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly positive habits that can lead to a happier and more satisfied life.

So, what's the secret to a happier life? It may be finding the things that bring you joy and sticking to those habits consistently.
