Six ways to a happier you

Sometimes we have good days and sometimes we have bad days. But when we're feeling miserable, is there anything

we can do to help ourselves feel more cheerful? The answer is yes!

WORK OUT!

Doing some form of work out is a brilliant way to feel good! Also, it helps you to relax if you're feeling stressed.

What's more, scientists at the University of Turku have found that people who exercise usually feel more self-

confident.

SMILE AT EVERYONE!

Smiling at people is a friendly way to greet them. Our smiles make other people feel happy.

Some people believe that the way that you look at yourself in the mirror can have the same effect. If you smile at

yourself, you'll feel better! Also, scientists at the University of Cardiff in Wales have found that people who smile

more often feel happier!

TALK TO YOURSELF!

Make time to notice the positive things about yourself. You might say something about the way you look, for example

your suntan or haircut.

Or you might comment on something about you as a person, for example, the fact that you're a good friend.
What's more, scientists from the University of Illinois have found that people who talk to themselves are more likely

to find good jobs and feel self-confident.

LAUGH!

Don't take life too seriously.

Laughing and joking are two great ways to feel good and to make people around you feel good too. They can even

will mean that other people will see a confident person and this will make you really feel confident. On the other

hand, if people see a person who isn't confident, you will feel even more insecure. It's not hard to act as if you are

confident. Just stand up straight and make eye contact. Or if you prefer, think about a time that you felt confident

in the past and try to remember how you behaved.

BE KIND!

Being kind is a great way to make other people feel happy and make yourself happier at the same time. Make an

effort every day to do something kind for another person.

For example, help someone to carry bags or offer to do some chores at home. Also, scientists from the University

of Oxford have found that being kind makes people happier because
