There are so many things which can make us feel bad, like the poor weather, the lost earring, the sad news, the favourite shirt becomes dirty, unsavory people, etc. However, don’t lets these factors upset you, you should find ways to have a good mood.

1. When you are in a poor situation, try hard to dig the goods from it. There are lots of happiness around us, like discovering the price of the parking ticket is actually cheap, the bad-tempered person certainly will have a worse day than yours, your dirty pants will still be dirty in the coming days.

2. Be thankful to things around – your health, career, friends, family, etc. They don’t come naturally, so don’t take them for granted. Be thankful.

3. Laugh more. Although laughing classes do exist, I think you don’t really need to go to a class to be able to laugh. Next time when you feel angry for something, try to laugh instead of letting your anger show. It might sound ridiculous at first, but it does help alleviate anger. After a while, you will soon find yourself being able to laugh for real. Just try it and you will see.

4. Be optimistic. Expectations often affect the actual outcomes. If you think something will go well, it will probably be. I always expect I would be able to find a space for parking when I shop for grocery at busy hours, and I almost always do.

5. Try to save all the funny sayings, clips or quotations if it is possible. When you are sad, pick some of those and read through them, you will surely get back your smile.

6. Inverse your body. This can cheer you up. Try the inverted yoga pose “legs up the wall” which can be done easily. All you have to do is to lie on your back with your hip up against the wall and make your legs bend against the wall, then hold this pose and relax.

7. Take more rest. Don’t push yourself too hard. A lot of people often try to do so many things in a day and end up having less than 6 hours of sleep a day. This is in fact a very bad habit that can seriously hurt your health. It is very important to relax more and spend some quality time with your family and friends.

It cannot be denied that life is difficult and we have to overcome many hurdles everyday. However, you can live a happier life by having an optimistic mind and avoiding bad things in your life.
