Little Changes for Happiness

Go to Sleep. when you are tired. You aren't doing anybody any good by forcing yourself to stay awake when your mind and body need a break.

Smile Please. Smile for a second twice in a day [My own sentence].

Don't rely on social media as entertainment every time you're bored.

Don't go to bed in a bad mood.

Cry when you feel like crying. Repressed negative emotions never lead to a happy disposition.

Don't let emails/messages be the first thing you see when you wake up.

Eat more ice cream.

Things to Do Alone

Go to the matinee of a sad or embarrassingly bad movie. Feel no shame as you cry or swoon alone in the corner. Who cares? No one is there to see you!

Travel somewhere new. When you travel with other people, you always end up making compromises on what sights to see, where to eat, and what activities to do. Traveling alone — even if it's just to the next town over — gives you the luxury of going at your own pace so that you're able to soak up everything about the trip that you want to.

Go to a bookstore and get lost. Spend hours exploring every genre of book known to the world. Better still, snag one off the shelf and plop down in a comfy chair. Close down the store trying to finish that book (hey, you'll save some cash), and leave only when the employees start giving you the side-eye.

Sing karaoke. Be bold! Pick a spot you never go to (that way you won't miss it if you can't show your face there again), and sing your heart out to a bunch of strangers. If you can do this, you can do pretty much anything.

People watch. Go to a public place, like a park or the mall, sit back, and enjoy the show. People watching is always interesting, often hilarious, sometimes sweet, and every once in a while, it can even make you give some of the stuff you do a second thought, too.

Get experimental in the kitchen. If you try out new recipes on your own and mess up, the only hungry, disappointed person you have to deal with is yourself. You can work on perfecting the dish until it's just right — then serve up a flawless result the next time you're with friends, and act like it was your first try.

Take the longest, hottest bath of your life. Turn on some soothing music and enjoy a long soak with no fear of unwelcome interruptions.
