There are so many ways to be happy. You may be in a upset, you may be stressed, or you may just not feel a sense of a joy. My goal here is to get you out of that. Follow these set of rules/questions to get you started.

1. Are you crying? Stop. Ask this question. Why and can you change the reason why you’re crying? Yes? SO DO IT. It’s important to alleviate your stress levels. You need to call someone and sort some things out? DO IT. It’s a simple phone call. What are you afraid of? Listen, breathe, and don’t be defensive. Say what you have to say and be open minded…..What else is wrong? You’re struggling financially? Then make a budget.  Write out your plan and determine your financial difference. If it’s large, find another source of income. There are multiple apps and websites that allow you to make money (Amazonmturks, Swagbucks, Upwork, Bitcoins, Clickworkers). Don’t complain about not having money when you are not putting in the work to make extra money….Now, IF you can’t change the situation, lets say someone passed. Mourn, be sad for a while, but then get up and stop crying. You can’t keep living in sadness.“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.” -Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
2. Find what you love to do. Whatever it may be, do it. Take a day to go out and reflect. Don’t do anything, but think on yourself and what you feel yourself yearning for. What do you want to do? You have all day to yourself, so what do you WANT to do. I didn’t say what do you HAVE to do, but what do you WANT to do? You may think this step is silly and you don’t see the point, but mundane things are the act that are taken for granted. Whatever you have the sudden urge to do, whether its painting, prancing in the fields, do it. Enjoy your time and really dig deep into yourself to find what you love. Think about it like this, If you had no bills and all the money in the world, what would you want to spend hours doing? Make THAT your passion
3. I believe that family is one thing that our grandparents got right. Unity. The older generation knows the importance of it. You may not like them all the time, you may not even talk to them all the time, but make the effort to stay in touch. Family is one of the most basic foundations a person should have in life. Don’t lose it. Take one day to just call everyone (My day is Sunday). Send out cards on Christmas and invite people over or take a family trip somewhere. Bond a little. Go on Groupon and do an escape room or paint balling. If you’re family is active, go on a hike. This world is too big to just be stuck in your house.

These are just a few little tips that might make you feel a little better and brighten your life. I’ll add more tips and stuff that might help improve your life.
