Want to feel happy? Rub this body part...

The next time you need a happy boost, try rubbing your ears.

Ear reflexology can help reduce negative feelings. Work on the outside rim of each ear for about a minute. Here are some other happy tricks:

• Have some beef or lamb. The proteins and omega-3s in grass-fed meat can reduce anxiety and depression.

• Forgive someone. Holding a grudge subconsciously stunts happiness.

• Be grateful. Write down five things you’re truly grateful for. It really does work.

• Wear something yellow. Surrounding yourself in yellow or orange simulates the happy feeling we get from the sun.

• Eat an orange. A dose of citrus can improve mood. Especially if you take the time to peel it.
