Quick Guide To Happiness
On days you’re feeling blue, try some of these simple activities. It might brighten your mood a bit.
Don’t hit snooze
Drink more water
Go outside, if circumstances permit
Get dressed
Complete one easy task. (Make your bed, sweep your room, do the dishes, etc.)
Give yourself a compliment in the mirror. Take the time to get specific.

9. Try something new
10. Exercise
11. Scream into the abyss. Swing your limbs uncontrollably. Punch the air. Kick about. Realize how ridiculous the problem is. Remember how silly life can be.
I’m not going to promise immediate results, or any results at all. This may or may not work for you. However, I can say with some confidence that inaction will not yield any results either. If your options are do nothing or try something, I’m inclined to advocate for the latter. What have you got to lose if you’re already feeling down? You become a certain way by committing to practice. That routine brings you closer to your goal. Happiness is a way of being. So you must commit to the practice.
