Method 1: Find happiness by yourself.
1, strong and optimistic. Don't let negative environment and sadness sneak into or ruin your life. Whenever you are sad, try to hold your head high. You should tell yourself that life is full of hopes, challenges and unexpected surprises. Look for a glimmer of hope from the unfortunate events in life. There are often some things in life that we understand as bad. However, when we take this matter seriously, we finally find that it also has a good side. This is the so-called "white light around the dark clouds", which is a ray of hope in misfortune or disappointment. For example, your partner abandoned you. On the bright side, there are so many different people waiting for you to meet in the outside world. It is a very powerful thing to have the opportunity to get to know a person and enter his heart.
You're unemployed. Maybe you don't like your job yourself. On the bright side, you now have a chance to find a better, more meaningful and higher-paying job.
Just when you thought you had succeeded, you failed. Life is always so interesting, right? On the bright side, if failure doesn't make you learn more, it will at least make you learn as much as your first success.
2. Keep busy. You know what people think about doing nothing, right? Studies have repeatedly found that people who stay busy are happier than those who do nothing. Too much free time is not only boring, but also inefficient. Think about all the things you can do, such as joining a club, visiting a place, listening to a speech, and then think that life has only a little time to do these things.
3. Find yourself a reason to smile. Scientists have found that smiling can actually make you happier. Yes, just smiling. You can have a try. Look for any of the following reasons to smile, and then try it: strangers pass by and smile at you.
Someone did a good thing to a stranger.
Something unexpected happens that reminds you of the world.
You see some beautiful things in this world.
4. Follow your intuition. People who follow their inner instincts are happier than those who try to make decisions. The reason is: if you follow your intuition, you are unlikely to doubt what the other option is; If you are struggling to make a decision, you may want to know if you have made the wrong choice.
5. Be generous and compassionate. You may think that winning the lottery can make people happy, then you are wrong. Money can only promote happiness to a certain extent, that is, meet your basic needs. After that, money can never make you happier than others. On the contrary, what "really" makes you happy is compassion. A study found that watching others donate money is as enjoyable as collecting money yourself! This means that you must try your best to feel sorry for yourself. You can donate to charity, volunteer at the local food bank, and teach a group of sophomores to do their homework.
6. Learn to forgive others. Forgiveness is an act of letting bygones be bygones. Research shows that if you can forgive others from the heart, even if that person doesn't deserve or is unwilling to forgive you, you will be happier. Forgiveness can lower blood pressure, lower the overall stress level and slow down the heart rate, thus making you happier.
No matter what you do, no matter who you are, you must exercise. Studies have confirmed the close relationship between exercise and general happiness. Exercise can increase endorphins in the body, reduce the overall stress level and bring you a happy mood.
8. Do something that makes you happy. Don't do what you think should make you happy or others happy, but do what really makes you happy. Get rid of preconceived ideas, such as "what are you expected or asked to do", and pursue what you know you want.
9. Listen to inspiring information. Whether reading books, surfing the Internet for famous sayings or listening to interesting speeches, if you know where to look, the world is actually full of inspiring information. Here are some inspiring quotes that may give you motivation to enter this world and find something that makes you happy: "Challenges make life full of fun, but overcoming challenges makes life meaningful."

"No one will write down a plan to become bankrupt, obese, lazy or stupid. These things happen when you have no plan. " Larry? Wengert (Larry wingate)
"It's never too late to be what you should be." George? George Elliott
