In fact, the password of happiness is in our own hands.
"Why does the more people have, the less happiness they feel?"
someone replied:
"when a person sets the threshold for happiness too high, no matter how big the surprise is, he will shut it out."

this gift, big or small, is just a reward that not only brings us pleasure and satisfaction, but also inspires us to move on to the next better journey.
03
Don't worry about setting aside half an hour to read every day
someone on the Internet asked: "Why do people read books?"
Professor Luo Xiang, a criminal jurist, replied: "the real purpose of reading is to pursue wisdom, not pure knowledge."
Reading can change your appearance, but if you don't read for three days, you will look abominable.
Reading can enlighten wisdom, but when you don't see it for three days, you should be impressed.
Reading can nourish the soul, but books are colorful and gorgeous.
in this noisy and impetuous world, why not calm down and take half an hour to read quietly.
if you read too much, even if it may not bring you enough good luck, it will give you spiritual refuge and make you a better self.
with long-term accumulation and perseverance, we will eventually become a chapter of export and show our wisdom.

watch a good movie regularly
some people say: "after the emergence of the movie, our lives are at least three times longer than before."
A good movie comes from life and is higher than life.
Let us feast our eyes, have a moment of leisure, and let us have endless aftertaste, insight into all aspects of life.
in the True Story of Forrest Gump, he knows how to stick to it; in Thousand and thousand fathom, learn to say goodbye; in A Chinese Odyssey, he understands the true meaning of love.
in a stressful life, give yourself a separate space to watch a good movie.
while relaxing yourself, we also experience other people's lives and different spiritual worlds.
06
cook a delicious meal for your family
the most moving love word in the world is: "cook for you and eat delicious food."

keep the room clean and tidy
Akita Guangyang said in "sweeping Power": "your life is actually like your own room."

throw away things you don't need, get rid of excess waste, and get rid of your obsession with things.
when you clean up the room, life will become bright and warm.

once read a sentence:
"A person's best state is to sleep comfortably every night and wake up energetically every morning.
"
Sleep, one of the most common little things, has become the most insurmountable problem for many young people.
because of stress, I can't sleep all night. I don't want to sleep because I stay up late to play with my cell phone, because overtime can't guarantee enough sleep.
the body is also dragged down by long-term consumption.
as the saying goes, "the tonic of medicine is not as good as that of food, and that of food is not as good as sleep."
the best way for a person to maintain good health is to have a regular schedule and have a good sleep.

enjoy the ease of being alone
the philosopher Schopenhauer said: "We bear all misfortune because we cannot be alone."
people who do not know how to be alone, or at a loss, or lonely, or bored, are always confused and accomplish nothing.
on the contrary, people who know how to be alone will shut out the carnival and make efficient use of this rare lonely time.
or hold a book in your hand to fill your heart, or close your eyes and enrich your soul.
High-quality solitude is a kind of ability, a kind of practice, but also a kind of realm.
when one learns to be alone, one can hear the inner voice gurgle.
12
sort out a personal playlist
"in my life, I am most afraid of reading a person and understanding a song."
most of the time, we listen to melodies and understand life.
different music not only brings us different feelings, but also experiences different emotions in the lyrics.
in the days to come, create your own mood playlist in your favorite music APP.
with the difference of music, give sadness an outlet, give sadness a space, share happiness and let happiness pass on.

play to find a hobby that you can stick to
Zhang Chao said: "Flowers cannot be without butterflies, mountains without springs, stones without moss, water without algae, and people without fetish."

Photography,
painting, calligraphy, fishing, dancing.

in the future, when you want to procrastinate, you might as well act immediately.
make good use of the critical 2 minutes, and the outcome will be very different.

bid farewell to meaningless social interaction
