Wouldn’t it be nice to pick a resolution that was easy to stick with and bring happiness at the same time? Well, I have found an app that will do just that.

I am really enjoying the tips that the Get Happy app shares. I definitely have room for self-improvement and I’ll take all the help I can get.
I tend to set very high standard for myself and the people closest to me. This is a good reminder.
As many of you might know, overcoming fear was a huge challenge for me in the later part of 2011. I still struggle a little with letting fear rule my life. I loved that this was one of my tips.
Features of the Get Happy App Include:
✔ Learn skills to effectively deal with painful thoughts and feelings and provide clarity about what is really important in your life. This knowledge will guide, inspire and motivate you to make changes for a better life.
✔ You will receive a tip every day, similar to having a clinical psychologist nudge you in the right direction for raising your personal happiness.
✔ The tips are organized based upon four pillars of happiness: relationships, leisure, personal growth and work & education.
✔ A key feature is a self-rating system that prioritizes daily tips based upon areas in your life most in need of improvement.
✔ Get Happy provides psychological strategies in a portable and accessible way, perfect for even the busiest individuals’.
Get Happy is an evidence based app that was developed by a practicing clinical psychologist. Get Happy’s tips are simple and effective and, more importantly, relevant and easy to complete.
