The Great List

[dashrendar]

So far I have started to compile a list of things to do to be happy. Not succesful or rich or popular or respected or accomplished. Happy. Keep in mind that these work for me and that you are not me. Also keep in mind that I really have no idea about what it means to be truly happy, but I think that I am happy most of the time, and this is how you do it.

1) Sing in the shower. Seriously. Do this and your whole day will go better.

2)Don't take yourself so seriously. Don't be affraid to laugh at yourself. Take a step back and look at yoursituation from an observers perspective. Don't let what anyone else says matter to you.

3) Wake up early or Go to bed early. Both would be better, but if you do one or the other you'll be good.

4) Know that your mother is always right. ALWAYS. You don't have to agree, or obey, or even listen. Heck, I'm probably one of the more dissobedient ones here. Just know that she's right.

5) Read. Self explanitory. This is to your brain what pushups are to your muscles. Do it.

6) Relax. Don't forget to play. To have fun. To just goof off.

Thats it for now, I'll probably add more later. Now let's hear yours.

Hmm...okay, I might have a couple.

A: Take a long, hot bath. Just relax. Unwind. It's something that you (actually I don't) don't get to do EVERYDAY. Instant stress reliever.
B: Scream in your pillow. Once all frusterations are gone, you can be happy, again!
C: Hang out with your family. Play "Uno" or "Clue" or some board/card/video game with them. If you get to agree on something and can talk about it, happiness will be sure to ensue.
D: Hum/whistle/sing show tunes. It makes others laugh (or ask "What the hell?"), which also puts a smile and even a laugh on your face.

...I'll try to think up some more. ^_^

This works for me

29) Tell your problems of the world to someone, though you may not want them to do anything it really lifts a weight off you that you didn't know you had.

29) Enjoy yourself, yeah do your work but if that is all you do then you would blow up and that would be bad.

29) What I like to do in school is compare my homework to something I like, say like some goofy joke I heard on tv and just do it while thinking about that and for some reason homework doesn't seem that bad no more.

29) If you are nerdy you can just leave this world behind and go to your own place and have all sorts of fun killing monsters saving loved ones and pummeling the bad guys (teacher I hate make good evil geniuses)

29) Look in the mirror and tell yourself how good you look even if at the time you think you look like crap

29) The biggest thing is (and this might sound weird but) to be happy. I find that you choose wether you are happy or not, if I wanted to be angry right now then I would be angry. I find though that if you decide to be happy then you will be happy, so wake up in the morning and say "Today I am going to be happy"

I will think of some more so til next time....*Runs stealthily away with theme song music playing the background*

Lol...just don't count on me to hear any more problems!!!

[Topaz]

*creeps back on stage and glances around to see if anyone is still there* I won't be like I was before, but I wouldn't mind helping you out. I can't promise never coming to you for help though, like that one thing you said you would email me about how to understand girls or whatnot I am still waiting that email.
