Smile to increase your Happiness. That’s right. You automatically smile when you’re happy. The reverse is true too! By smiling, you trick your brain into believing that everything is perfect.
Being Grateful increases Happiness. “Count your Blessings” is another way of saying it. Whenever you feel knocked down, think of all the good things you achieved in past, think of all the good things in your life and feel grateful for everything good in your life.
Helping Others Make You Happy. I’m not asking you to become all altruistic and sacrifice yourself to the “society”. But do things for people that you value, no matter how simple your help is. You will feel great about yourself.
Eating Chili instantly Cheers You Up. When you eat chili, your mouth burns, your eyes start to water and what not! But to counterbalance the effect chili had on you, your body releases “endorphin”, also known as the “Feel Good Hormone”. It is released to soothe the effects of pain. That in turn also cheers you up!
Happiness is a Choice. Despite the odds, you can still choose to be happy. Because there are times when you just have to accept the truth.
Sunlight makes You Happy. Your body responds to seeing sunlight by releasing “Serotonin”. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that handles your mood and social behaviour. That’s why some people living in places that don’t get enough sunlight suffer from “Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD)”.
Watching “Greenery” make you “Feel Good”. Humans are programmed through centuries to love greenery. Greenery means life. Greenery means happiness.

Writing a Journal helps in Relaxation. It’s very rare to have a person that listens to you and understands you. But when you don’t have that person, writing down is the best way to let it all out.
Having a Hobby boosts Happiness. Swimming, knitting, reading, driving – whatever you like. Taking some time out to do things that you love ensures that you get your daily dose of happiness.
Stupid People are Happier than Smarter People. Now don’t push yourself to feel sad because you’re smart. Stupid people think less. Smart people think more, which very quickly escalates to overthinking. Hence, avoid overthinking, keep busy, and stay happy!

Having a Goal will keep you Happy. Long story short – Having a goal saves you from “Existential Dread”
