 3. Affirmations
Affirmations are a very powerful tool that create a mental picture of a desired situation.
Affirmations work with the unconscious and subconscious mind. When one focuses on an affirmation, or several affirmations, positive results will usually follow.
If our thinking part of our brain tells we can’t do it, the lower parts of the brain will accept it, believe it, and make it happen.

When we use affirmations we are training the unconscious and subconscious mind to send positive messages to the conscious mind. The unconscious and subconscious parts of the brain are more powerful than the conscious part of the brain. So affirmations can also lead you to live a happy life.  You can maintain your affirmation chart as follows .

Doodling is another way to burst out your stress and it makes you feel happy.  Doodlings let's you forgot about all the those hustle and bustle going on in your head.

Even something as simple as a two minutes of sketching while you’ve been put on hold during a phone call could go some way towards turning your happiness dial up to 11.

Doodling helps people concentrate because it prevents their minds wandering (common occurrence when bored) while allowing the person to forget all the negative thoughts and focus on one particular thing.  Doodling also keep the doodler sufficiently engaged with the moment so the doodlers enjoy the present moment instead of worrying about past and future. Art therapists say creating ANY form of art will help to decrease stress, in fact a study in 2016 showed decreased levels of cortisone (the stress hormone) in three quarters of the study participants following a 45 minute creative session.

   
  5. Listen to music.

When you listen to tunes that move you, the study found, your brain releases dopamine, a chemical involved in both motivation and addiction.

Even just anticipating the sounds of a composition like Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" or Phish's "You Enjoy Myself" can get the feel-good chemical flowing, found the study, which was the first to make a concrete link between dopamine release and musical pleasure.

The findings offer a biological explanation for why music has been such a major part of major emotional events in cultures around the world since the beginning of human history. Through music, the study also offers new insights into how the human pleasure system works.As we listen, music works on the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling blood pressure and heartbeat, as well as the limbic system, which is responsible for feelings and emotions. Participating in music listening can also increase our happiness, and help us to get on better with others
