Stop pinning your happiness on an idealized or conditional future scenario. Happiness is a choice, and you don’t have to learn it, you just have to choose it, right here, right now. “Like yourself a little bit more every day and I promise you’re going to be happy,” says The Happiness Doctor Lia Bernardo, a training and behavioral specialist with a PhD in Psychoneurology and Integrative Health. She shares tips and tools from her practice and personal advocacy: to teach people to love and accept themselves in order to be happier and treat others better.
