Yes! When we are happy we naturally improve the mood of anyone with whom we interact. We are carefree, compassionate and fun to be around.

Picture a happy friend and you will automatically start smiling. It is contagious.

Smile away!  Happiness also boosts your immune system and helps you recover faster from stress. A great mood impacts all areas your career and your love life. Happy women get better performance reviews, have more prestigious jobs and earn higher salaries.

Let’s choose to be happy!

On one hand, we can choose to take steps to be happier or we can just be jealous of those that are happy.

To be happier, you need to focus on a skill that is closely linked to happiness. That’s where TM fits in. TM stimulates serotonin production without drugs.
