Health and happiness go hand-in-hand! We should all try to live a happier and healthier existence, and here are 100 ways you can do so.

1. Set yourself small and manageable goals. We often fail when we give yourselves a mountain to climb.
2. Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t.
3. Take a bath. Baths can soothe dry skin while also helping you to relax so that you get a better night’s sleep.

1. Start the day with protein.
2. Sit up straight. This can increase serotonin and lower your stress hormones, as well as ensuring you do not suffer from any posture-related problems.

4. Eat whole grains.
5. Ban all electronics in bed.
6. Practice deep breathing.
7. Stop eating in front of the television. You will eat more if you have distractions because you are not focused on what you are consuming.
