  Learn to Say NO
  
  Keeping everyone in your social circle happy is not possible. So stop pleasing them by saying yes to them all the time as it can create issues for you. Learn to say NO if you cannot perform any activity or if it’s not possible for you to do it.

  Spruce up Your Environment
  
  Colours have direct impact on your overall mood. They have the magical power to change your entire frame of mind. Repaint the wall of your home or at least your room with some bright colours that are not only refreshing but instill happiness. If you cannot afford repainting, simply re-decorate your environment, introducing lamps, cushions and blinds in bright colours. Moreover, enhance the lighting in your home for more cozy and relaxing feeling.

  Explore
  
  Manage your free time properly and use it in a fruitful way. Rather than staying back in home and wasting time, use your time for creative purposes. For example, plan a hiking or fishing trip with your friends or family, explore new places to hang out and eat and visit some nearby museums etc.

  Whatever happens, happens for good
  
  Don’t be afraid or upset of the ongoing tensed situations in your life. “Every problem has a solution.” Have a firm believe that everything that has ever happened to you and whatever is happening to you, it all happened for some reason; it was all planned by a higher authority. Today’s sorrowfulness may be the reason of tomorrow’s contentment.

Moreover, do not feel bad about the sad things or mistakes that took place in the past. You simply cannot rewind your past and correct it. So, “It's no use crying over spilled milk.” However, you can make a commitment to make a new start and not to repeat those mistakes again.
