37、-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives.Happy people feel empowered，take control of their lives，and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps：Make positive thinking a habit.In fact，this should be one of the first habits you develop.Get into the habit of squashing

38、 all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones.Instead of “I can't”think “I can”．It may sound silly，but it works for me，every time. 3．Flow.This is a popular concept on the Internet these days—a state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us.We are so burie

39、d in our task that we lose track of time.Having work and leisure that get you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness.
