Here are some top tips from Wellbeing People on how to improve your overall wellbeing and happiness

1. Strike a Power Pose
   Body language may be a lot more important than you imagined. It affects not just how you’re perceived by others, but also your internal body chemistry. That’s right, holding your body in a certain position literally changes the way you are.
   There are two kinds of power poses: high and low. A high-power pose usually means having your body open rather than hunched up. That means chest out, arms spread, no slouch. Most simply, it means that you try to take up a great deal of space.
   This is a no-tech lifehack that you can do while you sit or stand, while you’re alone or with others: Holding certain poses gives you more confidence and helps you to function better.
