3 steps to a happier life

Find out how to improve your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being to create a happier new you

Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is - why you're really here? What if I told you the real purpose of your life is to enjoy it? Therefore your destiny is simply to have a happy life.

I know that sounds like a fairytale, and unless you're a Disney princess, it seems impossible, but if you watch any TV these days, you know anything is possible with the right makeover.

A happiness makeover, however, is a little different than the extreme TV makeovers because it involves not only the physical but the emotional and spiritual parts of you as well. Physical wellbeing is anything that improves the physical: your body, your surroundings. It's what you can see.

Emotional well-being is anything that makes you feel good inside. And spiritual well-being is anything that connects you with your true self - your inner goddess. Here are three easy ways to improve these areas of your life so that you can get well on your way to achieving a happier new you.

1. Respect your body and your environment

The environment you live and work within - your home, your car, your office, your garden - is a reflection of you. Fill these places with things you love to look at, like art or flowers; things you love to use, such as a CD player or coloured markers; or things you love to be reminded of, like pictures of loved ones.

At the same time, keep these places spacious and neat so that positive energy can always flow around and to you. This is one of the basic principles of feng shui. Besides that, you'll just feel more in control and clear-headed without so much clutter to distract you.
