Establish a positive feedback mechanism for yourself.
The human brain has its own unique reward mechanism.
When we accomplish a goal, our brains secrete dopamine, making us feel happy and more motivated towards things.
When you feel confused and anxious, set up a positive feedback mechanism for yourself.
Break down long-term goals into short-term goals, write down a list of tasks for the day in advance, and give yourself a reward for every small thing you complete.
While sorting out the work, it can also relieve psychological pressure and improve efficiency. The sense of accomplishment of completing the goal will also bring a good happy experience.
Keep your stomach satisfied every day.
There is no trouble that a good meal cannot solve. If there is, then two.
Keeping your stomach satisfied is the beginning of a good mood.
Many people go on a diet to lose weight in order to stay in shape, but correct weight loss should be healthy and happy.
Tryptophan contained in food can promote the release of serotonin in the body.

No matter how bad your mood is, with the company of delicious food, it will become gentle, lovely, and suddenly enlightened.
On a hot summer day, why not meet up with a few friends, find a relaxing place, taste a delicious meal, and enjoy the happiness and satisfaction.
Go shopping, buy buy buy.
Can happiness be "purchased"?
Scientifically proven, it really can!
The dazzling array of products and the anticipation of shopping can promote the secretion of dopamine, making people feel happy and satisfied.
We are usually diligent and frugal, saving when we can. In order to take good care of our family, we even neglected ourselves for a time.
Appropriately releasing our desire for consumption can put us in a better mood and make the family atmosphere more harmonious.
Don’t become a slave to money for a time, but also learn to let money serve us.
In addition to buying your favorite items, you can also choose small gifts for your family and friends. You will get a double happy experience.
Be active in social activities.
Many people have almost no social activities after work.
I spend most of my time at home, isolating myself from the outside world.
However, years of research from Harvard University have shown that isolation is the biggest killer of happiness.
We should not only "read thousands of books", but also "make friends from all over the world".
Participating in social activities and expanding your life circle can broaden your horizons and bring novel feelings and happy emotions.
When you actively talk and interact with others, your heart will secrete oxytocin, your nervous system will relax, and your stress will decrease.
Never close yourself off, even if you get on the pirate ship of life, you must be a happy pirate.
When interacting with people, narrow your “should circle” of anger.
There is a word in psychology called "should circle", which is the range of what you think "should be like this" or "should not be like this".
It can be big or small.
If you think you should be angry at someone else's unintentional words or disapproving behavior, your circle will expand.
One rule for making yourself happy is to narrow your “should circle” of anger so that there are fewer things that offend you.
There is a saying: Being angry is punishing yourself for other people's mistakes.
Don't take those meaningless little things to heart.
It is best to interact with people, have a peaceful mind, and just laugh it off.
Walk for half an hour every day.
As the saying goes, if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine.
Walking is the simplest form of exercise.
Research shows that walking for half an hour every day can make you feel happy, lose weight, and stay healthy.
The activation state of the brain at this time will cause multiple "happy hormones" such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, etc. to work at the same time.
Just like the classic line in the sketch: It's okay, just take two steps.
When the Qi and blood flow smoothly, the body becomes lighter, and the mood will naturally feel better.
Do some moderate exercise every week.
Life is movement.
Some long-term, continuous aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, skipping, cycling, etc., can not only improve immunity, but also release emotional endorphins in the brain, making people feel physically and mentally happy, gentle and calm.
Endorphins, also known as "youth hormones," can greatly reduce anxiety and are equivalent to natural analgesics.
People who sit for long periods of time or do not exercise for a long time can easily feel mentally exhausted and achy all over.
At this time, you might as well go outdoors and do some exercise to restore your energy.
Release your own emotional energy.
We are often asked to be emotionally stable adults.
We didn't dare to express our negative emotions, so we slowly learned to suppress ourselves and cover ourselves up.
But once negative emotional energy accumulates in the body, it will turn inward and attack the body organs.
