Life's journey and ultimate goal is to be happy in each moment and make loving, supportive, and inspiring connections along the way. When your emotional state is happiness or contentment in the moment, you can't help to radiate that to your friends, family and other relationships around you. Other people are striving for the same thing, so they will be attracted to you and therefore the bond will be strengthened.

Each day, you have the opportunity to choose happiness.

Here's 7 Ways to Get Happy:

1. Take responsibility for making yourself happy. Truly know that everything you need to be happy lies within you. This is quite liberating! Feel the joy in knowing this.
2. Make time for yourself. Do the things that bring you pleasure and enjoyment. Write a list of everything that makes you happy. Commit to taking some time each day to care for yourself.
3. Do something nice for someone else and don't expect anything in return.
4. Be kind toward yourself. Don't allow negative talk or degrading thoughts to seep in. Be your best cheerleader.
5. Take a risk. Allow yourself to take a chance even when you might fail. Look at challenges as an opportunity for growth and greater self understanding.
6. Be thankful for what you DO have. Feel gratitude every single day.
7. Make a commitment. Every day, every moment, prioritize your actions to reflect this commitment in yourself, in your happiness.

Depending on your situation, these could be very difficult questions to answer alone. Find a counselor or therapist that can help you understand and work on ways to beat your weekend blues.
