I don't know if you believe in higher power or not but if you do, pray every day. Do things that you love to do and that bring you peace. Exercising is a good way to start, you will start to fell better internally. Stop worrying and stressing and accept all things that you cannot change. View all things in your life, good or bad, as a blessing you will be the happiest person you can be!

When you need to boost your self confidence or self esteem, find 3 things that make you feel good. These could be memories of good times, a piece of music, a holiday souvenir, or a person's face - use photos if it helps. Practise thinking about them and bringing them to mind. \n\nDeveloping self confidence that lasts - because of the way emotions 'attach' themselves to memories, you will quickly train yourself to feel good when you want - a great help.\n\nSelf consciousness is the No.1 enemy of self confidence. Learn how to keep your attention off yourself. You can do this easily by following these steps...\n\na) If you notice you have become self-conscious, (you can usually tell because you start to feel anxious), choose something 'everyday' you can see and study it in detail. For example: examine a door, look at the different textures and shades of colour, wonder about who made it and how and so on. The important thing is that you're learning how to keep your attention off yourself.\n\nb) If you feel self-conscious in a social situation, it's usually because you don't have enough to do! Focus on what your purpose in the situation is. Whether you're there to: \n\nfind out if you like the other people in the situation \nmake others feel comfortable \nfind out some information \nmake business contacts \nand so on...

Take a hot shower, or even a bubblebath, put on your favorite music, doesn't have to be mellow, then get back on here and get some more points.. but only answer the ones that make you reply in a silly mode.\n\nI answered this the other day, hope you're feeling better, but just in case, here's some directions for you to follow.\n\nPlace your right hand on the back of your left shoulder\nPlace your left hand on your right side about midway between shoulder and hips\nSqueeze for the count of 10 seonds, while closing your eyes.\nHold On\nPat shoulder with with right hand 4 times,\nRub side with left hand,\nRelease.. \nSometimes nothing makes me feel better than having a hug, hope this hug from me to you made you feel better.

Find something you do really well, and do it often. (For me, it was singing and martial arts.) \n\nSmile at strangers. It's rewarding when they smile back.\n\nThink only good thought about yourself. (I know, it's corny, but it works).\n\nOnly listen to positive, uplifting music.\n\nKnow that God loves you everyday, no matter what. He created you for a purpose. Find it.\n\nGet plenty of exercise.....it releases happy endorphines and makes you feel better.

You are as good as anyone else ,so don't feel others are better than you because you feel things more deeply than they do.Do not try to stifle these feelings. Talk to your close friends and your parents about it . Even if they do not have a fast answer that will feel good to you. They will have some ideas and ask them to share their feelings on things and why they feel about those things.Laughter is a good medicine. Watch a funny movie. Develop a sense of humor as you go thru life humor will help you in the most tragic events,believe me I know. Listen to music and take up a musical instrument, music is very soothing and will also help you !! meow!!! Did you laugh ??lol. Good luck and be well !!

Hi,\n\nI don't think you can make someone happy if they just don't want to be happy, try to find out what the problem is and get that person help if need be! It could be a deeper problem then you think!

Just Smile and say to yourself like this "Hey! there's nothing matter, I'm in a good mood." I think, if you have made a good spirit on yourself, you'll get it.OK!

sit down in a quiet place and think about some things that make you happy, and some things that make you stressed out. pick one (or more) of the happy things, and try to do it/see it/listen to it/feel it more often. when you are experiencing whatever it is, really let yourself enjoy it.\n\nthen, think of one of the things that makes you stressed out. think about the way you like it (perfect) and what will happen if it's not perfect. next time you see it not being perfect, take a minute to relax and see if it's really as bad as you think before you change it. this is something you can teach yourself to do. \n\nwith both, start slow and do one at a time- you're not going to change everything overnight.

The only thing I can say to you is that you have to find joy in the small things that happen. A beautiful flower or sunset, hearing a child laugh, a kindness done for you by another person. If you wait around for the "big things" to bring you joy - ie; winning the lottery, marrying rich, becoming a movie star - you won't ever be happy because those things just don't "happen" in real life. Okay, sometimes they do, but rarely, ya know? Sometimes it's going to be a minute to minute thing, but you have to make yourself look for something positive, make yourself find one thing that makes you happy - even for just a minute. I know.

Well i am happy, and not because some material things make me feel like i do exist or something. My happines comes from within. I understand my limitations, and with that in hand i know that my achievments through life are the reflection of someone who always gives the best of himself.\n\nknowing i do my best everyday makes me happy. What makes you happy?\n\nfind some indicator for evaluating your life. might be how many friends do you have, or how many people have you helped... or how many material things you have! The important thing is that everyone can measure their own happines by setting reasonable indicators. What are yours? what's your happines based on?

Do you feel excited about life?  Are you proud of your accomplishments?  Do you enjoy your work, your relationships, your lifestyle?  Do you find yourself smiling often?  If so, then you're probably happy.  Do you lie awake in bed at night and worry and fret and feel miserable?  Do you fight a lot with the other people in your life?  Do you use food, alcohol, or drugs to make you feel better?  Do you drag your feet through the day, wishing you were somewhere--anywhere--else?  If so, then you probably aren't happy.  There are a lot of places in between, and that's where most of us fall on any given day.  The question you have to ask yourself is whether you feel happy more often than you feel miserable, and if not, then evaluate what things or people are contributing to your unhappiness...and make some changes.

Find beauty in the tiniest things - the wood grain on your old desk, the flowers you walk by every day, the pretty displays in store windows. Do some community service - just trust me on this one. Spend a little more time with people who make you feel valued. Watch your favorite movie over and over and over again. Laugh at something, or at nothing. Smile more often - I think smiling is supposed to do something great like release endorphins and make you feel good. Good Luck!
