Last updated on April 24th, 2022 at 02:07 am

There are all kinds of sayings about happiness–that “happiness a choice” and “happiness is a journey, not a destination.” I like the quote about making happiness a habit.

Just like any other skill you want to learn or improve, you can take small steps every day that add up to feeling happier. Keep reading to learn more about the daily habits for happiness you can start now!

The pursuit of happiness is a dogged one, but sometimes it feels more like we are the ones being chased. Never has this been more true than in recent years. Our search for happiness becomes so easily disrupted by all kinds of events we can’t control. Disease, devastation, financial hardship… These are things that greatly affect us all. How can we be happy? It may feel like learning how to be happy is hopeless, but regardless of what is happening around you, you can be a happier person.

Just like coping with everyday stress or making improvements to your self-care routine, you can create your own happiness. Building the habits you need to feel fulfilled in life is another form of self-care. And, you can achieve measurable results. Even better, you can see these results just by repeating some daily habits that will quickly become second nature. If you struggle with things you can’t change, these daily habits for happiness will help you see things in a different light.

Motivation Printable and Daily Habits for Happiness

One of the printables we have for you is a framable motivational poster that you can keep by your bedside or post on your bathroom wall so that you see it first thing in the morning. It will remind you that happiness is up to you and you need to take action to claim it. (Check out frames here.)

Happiness is not determined by what happens to you, but how you react. You can make the choice to smile, and you can adopt a grateful attitude. You can see the inevitable changes in life not as obstacles, but as opportunities to grow and learn. It all starts with making the decision and commitment to yourself to do the things which will result in a new and happier you.

Click the page below to print the checklist of daily habits for happiness. Then keep it handy–maybe at your desk. It’s a great way to keep yourself on track. This will print full-size on letter-sized paper, or use your printer’s settings to fit it to your page. We’ve given you two to choose from, one list with a light background and one with a darker background. 

Then print your motivational print. It’s just the reminder you need to stay optimistic and grateful as you start your day. I think this print would also be perfect for your office or work area or somewhere you’ll see it getting ready in the morning.

To make your daily habits page hold up a little better, you may want to print it on cardstock, or laminate it with a lamintor like this one. 

These pages will print on standard letter-size paper, or use your printer’s settings to fit the pages to your paper size.
