Profoundly improve your relationships, with a greater focus on listening, finding commonalities, and intuiting
Find calm in ritualizing things such as making coffee, drinking tea, and even having a cocktail
Embrace the importance of baths and naps
Show respect for self and others, which has a remarkably calming effect on everyone
Learn to listen more than talk
Kon Mari your life by downsizing experiences and relationships that offer more stress than solace
Cultivate practical ways of dealing with anger, fear, and arguments -- the daily tensions that take up so much of our lives

By practicing acceptance, we learn to pause, take in the situation, and then deciding on a course of action that reframes things. Why Be Happy? Discover a place of contentment and peace in this harried world.
