Try this. Ask a friend or a group of friends to tell you stories about times when they were happy. Just listen and encourage everyone else to listen. Join in yourself. Then do the same about times when they and you made someone else happy. You will be astonished how interesting, inspiring and enjoyable this will be!
We did this with some friends and found that the hard part was choosing which happy experience to share. That is a nice problem. We also learned that making other people happy was a very good way to be happy yourself, which is encouraging.
If you try this, please let me know how you get on and tell others via this blog!
This way of thinking is an example of Appreciative Inquiry, for more on this have a look at http://ai.cwru.edu/, it's a great site.
