C. doing activities that makes you happy

1. continue spending time with positive people

- Happy people tend to be more social than unhappy people. So get out there and socialize.

- If you feel uncomfortable or anxious meeting new people, spend time with others you already know and feel safe around. You can build your confidence from there and work up to talking to unknown individuals. Tell yourself, "Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet."

- Remember that it is more important to have close relationships with others instead of having many acquaintances that you don’t know very well. It’s about quality over quantity. So cultivate and tend to the friendships you already have.

2. avoid negative influences

- Set boundaries with people who cause you grief. Say, “No” when you need to.

- Take some time to consider leaving relationships or friends that are destructive to your send of well-being or happiness.

3. engage regularly in activities that make you happy

- Surround yourself with the right activities and the right people that bring opportunities for happiness into your life.

- Being active is correlated with happiness levels. Try fun exercise ideas like: hiking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, gardening, dancing, kickboxing, or doing yoga.

- Engage in pleasurable leisure activities. Some examples include: watching movies, writing, painting, playing music, sewing, knitting, and reading.

- Focusing on experiences rather than on material possessions may increase your happiness. Instead of buying a new car, perhaps travel to another country. Objects will fade and break, while memories can last a very long time and experiences can shape who you are.

4. help others

- Spending money on others increases happiness. Buy a homeless person something to eat.

- Be empathic and put yourself in someone's shoes. Sometimes a listening ear to a troubled heart is all that is needed.

- Help others who need help by volunteering at a local service organization or hospital. For example, you could serve at a food kitchen, or help build a house for tragedy survivors.

D. aspiring toward goals

1. be independent

- Resist social pressure to believe in or do certain things. Hold true to your beliefs.

- Make your own goals; do not rely on others to tell you what you want.

- Regulate your behaviors. In order to be happy you need to be in control of your own actions. Impulse control, or the ability to stop and think before acting, is an integral component of regulation.

2. increase your motivation

- Get interested in something new. Try a new hobby, activity, or exercise. Explore ideas that you have not yet considered.

- Curiosity and enthusiasm are also strongly associated with life satisfaction and well-being.

3. make meaning out of life

- Remember that money alone will not maintain your happiness.

- Make short term goals in all facets of your life. Instead of making huge goals for yourself, make them shorter and easier to accomplish. For instance, if you want to lose weight, do not look at a huge amount of weight you may need to lose. Set your goal for losing only 10 lbs. This you can accomplish more easily, but it's much more difficult to lose 50 lbs at once. Keep setting the goal for only another 10 lbs -- until one day you will see the 50 lbs weight are lost.

- Think of your possibilities for achievements in education or training that are within reach instead of far down the road. Find what kind of course of study you can take to begin to make progress toward your goals.

4. sustain a positive work environment

-  If you are employed, it is important to have happiness at your work as well. After all, you may spend 40 hours a week at work. Studies show that a negative work environment can lead to stress, burnout, and less productivity.

- Seek an occupation that: pays you well, is secure, provides supportive supervision, and promotes equality and fairness. It is also important that you feel valued.

i hope you are doing well in your life and please take a rest if you are under pressure of anything! sit back and do anything that makes you feel relax such as reading or singing, doing yoga or something that makes you forget your problems for a while.
