When you're ordering Starbucks, smile at the barista and how them how their day is going. Listen carefully, follow-up with more questions such as how much they like working there. A little bit of kindness goes a long way

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:"Fake It Til You Make It" There are a lot of reasons to be happy for real! But pretending is something you can do with a sibling's child and become the fun uncle or maybe auntie. I know a child who wants to be an astronaut so we pretend we are in space for fun. We don't really go to space though, that would be impossible.

Unleash your inner child! There's nothing wrong with indulging in innocence. Curl up infront of the fireplace and watch Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince with a nice warming cup of hot cocoa and a sparkling ros. You'd be surprised how much happier you feel

Of all the pleasures that endear human life, there are none more worthy the attention of a rational creature, than those that flow from mutual returns of conjugal love.

one thing I like to do is the "half smile" strategy straight out of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). you do a sort of teeny tiny turning up of the corners of your mouth that basically no one can see because it sends signals to your brain that can slightly improve your mood or anxiety. It's not really a secret weapon, but it actually makes a difference when you practice it.

I also like the ice-cube trick. If you're about to hit panic attack or crisis mode, you should find some icecubes and squeeze them over the sink as tightly as you can. The cold stimulus shocks your system out of panicking! It works better if you squeeze the ice right after applying an ice water bath or splash to your face! It's incredibly effective! Both my wife and I use those strategies when we get mega stressed out and they work very well

Find a new-to-you piece of media that you know you'll love, and use it as a "break glass in case of depression" kinda thing.

If you're feeling unhappy, go for a nature walk! Leave your cellphone behind and go out to the forests and listen to the quiet tranquility of nature! We were meant to be in harmony with gaia and gaia will listen to us if we only listen to her. A one hour walk a week in the woods will remove depression and make you feel refreshed!
