happy?

Self-assurance, reassurance, support from family...doing a few activities to distract yourself can also lead you to being happy, sometimes I begin to do a task feeling extremely uncomfortable and the feelings begin to fade.

Stop caring what other people think of you---especially if you don't bother anybody.

1) Know what happiness feels like, so you can recognise happiness when / if it happens.

2) Try different things to see if any of them elicit the response.

3) Try those things again on another day, because our stress levels vary and affect happiness.

4) Rinse and repeat.

5) If you find something that makes you feel happy, remind yourself it might change over time.


“No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure."

~ Charlotte Brontë, Villette (1854)

If you have a plushy, stroke its fluff or squeeze it. Always works for me.

Healthier. Diet so have less health issues

Set and achieve goals

Hobbies

Sleeping

Regular resistance training in the gym.

1. It gives you feeling you're doing something good for your body.

2. It gives you sense of accomplishment when you improve at it.

3. It gives you more confidence.

4. There has even been a study that found a link between resistance training and reduction of depression symptoms.

5. I don't know about the previous point (I've never suffered from depression), but after training session I feel like I'm mildly drugged - relaxed, calm and without worry.

These are the things that help me:

Listen to music
Work on my hobbies
Go for a walk
Watch TV
Spend time with friends and family

Focus on anything but this month,to make myself happier.

Let every day worry about itself.
