#1: Learn to Say No
I know that you are a good kind hearted person and readily accept everyone’s proposal. But it’s been a long time since you are helping others to get their goal, when will you focus on your own? While working on a project if your friends call and ask you to come to the nearby tea shop for a party, and you readily agree?

Why don’t you think that your project is more important than the Tea Party? Just for the sake of friendship, you should think thrice before breaking your planned schedule. I know that you don’t enjoy watching movies every weekend, but you go because your colleagues asked you to come.
Do you feel pride? Hell, it means that you don’t really value your time. But don’t worry. If you are ready to change then you can overcome this habit. Let’s start saying NO (in a polite manner) from today onwards for being happy in life.
#2: Skip Social Media
Have you ever thought why there is no dislike button on any social media platforms? Imagine, you uploaded your best picture on your social media account and you got 100 dislikes instead of likes? Will you ever dare to upload the next photo? Haha, obviously not.

By this I just wanted to convey to you that these platforms are specially designed to fool and make fools. And the likes you are getting on social media platforms are 100% fake. In reality, even your close friends don’t like you.
Whenever you are in a good mood, never check your social media accounts. Chances are that you may encounter negative things and will start feeling negative. Before the era of social media, a man had never seen as much negative news in his entire life as we see in one day today. So to be happy in life, you have to enter the world of reality.
#3: Never Compare
Did you get this line? Cool, but I’m not asking you to never compare your clothes, shoes, or phone to anyone else. Well, I will explain to you in detail.
Remember, everyone has a starting point in their life. And nobody gets overnight success as shown in Bollywood films. For example, suppose your friend started a business 2 years ago, and now he is earning money from it and living a royal life.
After seeing that success, you too have thought about starting your own business, and might have started it. As your business is new (this is your starting point), obviously you will go through a lot of struggles.
At this point you should not compare your friend’s success, as he has also gone through this struggle. All I wanted to say is, never compare yourself to be actually happy in life!
#4: Ask for Help
I know that you are a multi-talented self dependent and you don’t need anyone’s help. Apart from this, Google and Alexa are also ready to help you 24*7. How can I forget to appreciate your Mi Band which is constantly helping you to wake up, eat, run and sleep.
But still I tell you, you should ask for help, and a human help. I will share one of my recent stories about seeking help. When I was setting up this blog, I got stuck with the ‘Contact Us’ page. Basically, I was concerned with the layout design.
As I am not from the tech background, indeed I have learned but still most of the things are very new to me. I left a message on WhatsApp to one of my college friend Mr. Aquib, explaining the problem and the layout design I wanted.
He answered me with a video call, and helped me solve the problem quickly. In addition to solving the problem it fuelled our friendship and he also taught me some new tricks about coding as he usually used to teach me during college days.
#5: Love Yourself
Do you remember when was the last time you wrote a love letter to yourself? Yes to yourself, not to someone else. Never? Oh, how rude you are! Well, so let’s start writing a love letter to yourself every day from now on. If not every day, try to write at least once a week.
Loving yourself can include many things such as, getting in shape, managing your precious time, monitoring your sleep patterns, eating healthy snacks and meals, leaving your bad friends circle and bad habits, improving your communication skills, finding self talk time.
Here I am not asking you to do all this in one day, but at least you can start following it from today. People forget to love and care for the person who struggled a lot to keep you going. Always was with you and faced every insult and hardship with you. And that’s you. Love yourself and always be happy in life.
