Last Saturday, the radio DJ talked about 10 ways to be happy.
Note: Comments below each points are my own views.
1) Throw away or give away things that you don't need.
I guessed that means living in a good and healthy environment. So...don't keep junks under your bed!
2) Exercise
We need to feel good about our own body, staying in shape and good health keep us away from sickness and aches.
3) Keep a photo album of good memories
Reminds you of some happy times which you might have forgotten over the busy work schedules.
4) Breath deeply, at least 10 times a day
Most of us has forgotten the right way to breadth, we are either not inhaling enough oxygen or exhaling enough carbon dioxide. Deep-breathing helps in handling depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Check out this

5) Stay in touch what the young people are doing.
Having a same hobby or have a common topic with the young people helps you stay young at heart!
6) Forgive
Bearing a grudge is a torture! It affects your heart function and wakes you up in the middle of the night with kicks and shouts! Forgiving others or yourself, frees you from anger, sadness or guilt, it helped save or even strengthen a relationship. Don't let sisters, best friends or mother and children become enemies!
....hmm.... I forgot what are the other 4 points...
haha...so here are my own points:
7) Decide to be happy.
A decision to be happy reminds us to stay positive at all times.
8) Accept and move on
Some things cannot be changed by our own effort, whether you learn a lesson or cannot find an answer to it, or when you are badly hurt. There are times where we have to accept the fact and move on with life. Don't pity yourself too much that you live in sadness, regretting over things not done or digging for answers that has happened long ago! Stay in present!
9) Don't be Calculative
Don't count if you gain more or less from your love ones. If you start to be calculative, it is complicated, frustrated, hurting and never ending arguments. Make up your mind, if that is who you want to love, love with all your heart! And towards your family members, don't be a miser.
10) Help Others
Helping others means helping yourself, when you see the happy smile on their face, it touches your heart! But helping others doesn't mean you have to expect any returns. There are cases where you gets lots of complaints, nagging, scolding and lots of trouble too... but deep inside, you feel good to have the ability to help make someone's life better.
Haha... I only managed to achieve 4 out of 10....how about you?
