36 Simpler Ways to Be Happier in 2019

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Want your New Year to get off to a good start? Ted Larkins wants that for you too—only he says wishing alone won't do it. Instead, the author of Get To Be Happy The Companion Guide®, the follow-up to his award-winning Get To Be Happy® title, says you need to create a happiness plan and stick to it for at least 30 days.

"New Year's resolutions are nice," Larkins says. "But you have to do more than say that you want to lose 15 pounds or be healthier. My book gives people 36 exercises that could lead to a happier 2019 but lets them customize them to their own needs."

For example, to have a happier 2019 Larkins suggests you might want to:

• Telephone someone with the expressed purpose of telling them that you love them and paying attention to their reaction
• Watch the James Dean movie of your choice and jot down your thoughts about it
• Commit to doing something incredible for the next 30 days such as exercising for seven minutes or meditating every day
• Make a list of hobbies you would like to pursue and then list 12 steps that would help you get started
• Look up someone on Facebook whom you were unkind to when you were younger and apologize to them.

Get To Be Happy® won an Indie Brag Medallion and was a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Book Award competition. Larkins' two books utilize his Get-To Principle, which shifts a person's mindset from "having to do something" to "getting to do something."
