James Clear, best-selling author and habits expert, provides the following formula:

How to Be Unhappy:

-stay inside all day

-move as little as possible

-spend more than you earn

-take yourself (and life) too seriously

-look for reasons why things won’t work

-always consume, never contribute

-resent the lucky and successful

-never say hello first

-be unreliable

Invert for Happiness:

-get outside each day

-move: walk, exercise, dance

-spend less than you earn

-view life as play

-be the one who looks for solutions

-develop a bias to contribute and create

-learn from the lucky and successful

-be the first to say hello

-be reliable

Since there are many aspects to health (physical, mental, emotional, relational, spiritual), it is not a problem to solve but a tension to manage.
