A rising tide lifts all boats! Set an example for your friends who struggle by modeling how to live a happy, effective life. When you're feeling bad, talk about it! When you clean your house, comment on how nice it makes you feel! At the end of the day, your example will make a much bigger impression that the words you say.

Don't forget, you only live once! In the coming weeks, consider taking a small risk for a massive reward. Now is the perfect time to see a musical, join an improv class, work with a personal trainer, or visit an old friend.

the end is nigh might wanna do that thing sooner rather than later

Goodbye Mr. Sun! While it's nice to spend time outdoors and get tan, don't forget that UV radiation can be damaging to the skin, or even cause cancer! Make sure you slowly increase the time you spend in the sun so your body can adjust. No matter what your skintone, put a little bit of moisturizing SPF 35 on your face, neck, hands, and feet. They'll thank you for the extra moisture, and you'll avoid burning sensitive areas of your skin.

sunscreen is the best anti-aging technique you can use, so if you want to keep yourself looking young and youthful, slop some onto your face and body before you go out for an enjoyable hike in the woods :)

Absolutely! When I set up the above-ground mini-pool in my backyard, I don't leave the shade without a strong layer of the good stuff on my head, chest, arms, and legs!

No man is an island, or woman either! If you find yourself isolating, consider reaching out to someone who cares about you and asking for support. A simple text like "Hey, I need to talk to someone, do you have time later?" can be the difference between agonizing in silence and venting to a close friend. They may not be able to help, but people will appreciate your honesty and respond in kind. You never know; you and a friend may have more in common than you think!

Agreed!

Hit the road! If you need to get off the computer or even just kill time outside of the house, try going for a drive. Put on your favorite album or playlist and start heading in one direction. After 20 minutes of music, turn around and head back. If you don't drive or gas prices are too high, you can also do this with public transportation, a bike, or your legs!

happiness tip: redefine what happiness is and you can be happy in any circumstances. for example, you can define happiness as feeling good, and smoking weed and jerking off to porn all day feels good, therefor I am "happy" doing it! Sometimes I feel not good when I don't do those things, but that's okay because I can just do them more, for the rest of my life until I die (happy)

I also struggle with that. Weight lifting and running are more my speed, but everyone's different. When I transitioned from stationary biking to lifting, I found myself wanting to go the gym far more often than I did before! Consider giving the ol iron a chance, and you may be surprised what you discover.

While this may be a happiness tip for the short term, consider that you'll get more aggregate happiness by doing small helpful gestures for the people you care about. With more friends and loved ones feeling happy on a regular basis, you can reap long term, sustainable vapors for years to come!

Haplessness tip: Cook a frozen pizza in your oven right on the rack. It's not very good pizza. But it makes your house smell nice and when you crack the door to see if it's done it feels warm and that feels good this time of year. Then you get to eat some pizza.

Bee 🐝 positive! Although it may be a sweet treat that goes well with French toast or pancakes, honey is nature's first antibiotic. If you have cystic acne, consider rubbing a small dollop of honey across problem patches and letting it sit for an hour. Wash the honey off when you're finished. If you want a more targeted approach, buy a honey-based face mask from your local grocery store's pharmacy section. You may bee 🐝 surprised at how well nature takes care of you!

Do the dew! A fresh morning dew can make the drab every day glisten and shine like new. While bugs enjoy a big sip of water courtesy of Mother Nature, you can avoid missing out by setting an alarm for sunrise and stepping outside to appreciate the natural world.

Just dew it. A stroll through damp grass in your bare feet can turn any average morning into a special sensory adventure! Be sure to wiggle your toes and salute Mr. Sun while you enjoy a trip through your lawn's own Amazon rainforest.

Edit: wow, I'm really dewing a lot of tips! 😄

That's the sound of the police! If you hear sirens and see flashing lights, be sure to pull over and stop even if they're on the opposite side of the road. Your quick thinking and consideration can be the difference between life and death for a brave first responder or seriously injured civilian in your city!

Keep it simple, silly! If you're having trouble with a long term goal or future plan, consider reexamining the complexity of the steps between you and success. When all else fails, breaking things down into basic short term objectives can keep you motivated and help make the best use of your time.

Fit the pants! Khakis, chinos, and dress pants are manufactured to fit a wide variety of bodies, but many clothes outlets will tailor them to your specific size and shape. If you're feeling drab and your wardrobe is worn out, consider buying a new pair of Dockers and having the store attendant modify them to make your strengths stronger and your weaknesses work for you!

Don't be a stranger! Humans are social creatures, and the advent of smartphones and instant message technology has taken a toll on the total minutes per week we spend in each other's company. If you're feeling down, consider taking a trip next door to visit the "close" friends right outside your home! A loaf of freshly baked bread, keesh, or sandwich platter can mean the world to the person waiting for you just one house down the road.

Pray the day away! An evening conversation with your higher power can raise a boring bedtime routine into something special and spiritual. Consider taking some time before bed to toss a few words to the "man" upstairs! Even happy people can use a little help putting a pin in their day before beginning a restful night's sleep.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

Critical space theory! Did you know that we've learned more about our solar system in the last 50 years than in the sum total of human history? A day spent studying the final frontier can give you insight and perspective into an "alien" world where anything is possible! Your brain will thank you for the new knowledge, and friends will be captivated by conversations about the great unknown.

What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
Exercise is the most boring poo poo ever. Every once in a while I get duped into jogging or some other stupid poo poo for a couple of weeks and it always sucks. It brings me no joy and only takes up space in my day. I'm happiest when I manage not to give a gently caress about exercise and don't do it at all. It probably helps that I'm not overweight.

I recommend eating more fiber though.
