- Think of something that made you laugh or smile, even if it's from a long time ago. It'll still have the same effect.
- Always assume that what is done is done. Don't feel regret due to past mistakes. Instead, learn from them and move on.
- Be content with who you are because nobody's 'the perfect one'.
- Sit and figure out what makes you happy, and make one step at a time to get there. As long as you are working toward your own personal goals you will move forward instead of procrastinating.
- Avoid complicated situations where you could find yourself unhappy. If people are persuading you to do something that makes you uncomfortable, don't do it. You will feel so much happier knowing that you went with your gut and made the right choice.
- If you are unhappy, even if you don't know why; talk it out with someone. The exchange of ideas and feelings is healing and usually provides some level of satisfaction or peace.
- Be happy! Always look on the bright side. The past is the past you can't change it. No one can. Just be cheerful!
- When you're purposely trying to be happy or cheerful, but just can't seem to achieve it at the moment, do something crazy. Stupid, crazy, weird actions seem pointless, but could actually lift your mood -- just because you're glad you did it. Most fundamentally, recognize that happiness is a state of mind, not something to be defined objectively. You can change your state of mind in many ways including these suggestions:
- Turn your favorite music up loud and do a dance to it. Talk to yourself in the mirror.
- Write a funny or inspiring quote on your mirror/wall/locker.
- Scream as loud as you can (warn your family first!) and bounce up and down; jump all around.
- If it's a hot day, get your swimsuit on, go outside and turn the hose on yourself.
- Try to love yourself a little more. Happiness stems from feeling good about the things around you and how that affects you. Look in the mirror and feel happy that who is looking back at you is a survivor. Keep reinventing yourself. The only person on earth who shouldn't be bored with who you are is yourself.
- Finding time for you is important. Relaxation and meditation or even getting a massage are all ways of taking just a bit of time out for yourself. A way to reward yourself for all that you do.
- Allays think on the positive side; the glass is half full, not half empty!
- Stay out of fights. Mind your own business and try not to blend into other people's problems, unless someone asks you for help - then you should definitely help them. Their gratefulness will make you feel a lot happier after helping them, and you will realize how great it is.
- Don't be afraid to admit when you're down and need a lift. Conversely, if a person is a negative influence who drags you down, don't be afraid to remove such a person from your life. However, it is even better when you can see the potential in people, and help them. As with charity, this is beneficial to both you and them; and you have a valuble friend afterwards who is grateful of your aid.
- If you find yourself unhappy frequently, talk to a trusted friend or family member, or get a diary and write down emotions and experiences you feel have caused you to be unhappy, sad, agitated, etc.
