It is true that life takes energy, skills, lots of practice, and teamwork just like any sport. But the difference stands in the fact that participating in life isn’t enough. You have to go for the big win that is happiness.  I feel like I’ve been winning at life for a long time now and here I’m sharing some wisdom to the simple ‘training’ everyone needs to be happy:

• Hang out with happy positive people. Happiness is more contageous than a flu.
• Smile all the time.
• Eat healthy. Which at the same time means eat tasty food cause I haven’t seen yet happy people on a salad diet.
• Get a plant and keep it alive. I’m still struggling with this one, but everytime I check that the plant is still alive it makes me smile.
• Have a music soundtrack in your life. Just like in a rom-com movie get on with your day through the upbeat tunes of happy music.
• Use your money to do something nice for others. Even better if you can get personally envolved in a cause you care about.
• Work out for once. It is no fun at all having to run 5 miles a day, or spending 2 hours in a gym but they say the results make up for all the effort.
• Get a pet. Preferably a dog who will show you what love is. A cat might works too…they say.
• Find at least ten things you like about yourself. This is easy and fun, and will make you think what makes you great. Your sense of humor, your snorkling skills, or your capability in cheering up girlfriends in time of need. If you include all the small things that make you great I bet you can get this list up to 100.
• Make a list of things you want to work on. Picking personal flaws should come easy becuase we tend to notice our flaws more than our strengths. Most of them will be easy to turn around.
• Love your body. 
• Never forget how lucky you are to be you.
• Build a happy wardrobe. Being happy with what you’re wearing can change how you feel about yourself.

So it takes practice to achieve happiness because just as Lacoste says on their latest Spring Summer 2014 campaign. ‘ Life is a beautiful sport‘ #livebeautifully
