how to be happy

Listening to specific music, not just any music. Some music makes me sadder. Spending time w/my best friend and watching funny movies...And oh yeah, alchohol.

 

cheerful music. i dont recommend drugs, when i do that i get even more depressed that i had to use drugs for getting happy. (although i do reccomend drugs in general)

 

15 packs of kokanee.

 

if you don't know the words,hum along until you get it right.Just be happy,it's really simplier than it sounds.peace

 

there are tons of things that make me momentarily happy.

But living simply, being grateful for all the little things in my life, and learning to live my own life and walk my own path without regard for what society says has been my sure recipie for happiness!

 

I feel like i killed this thread!

 

That's the same with me...But I don't fall asleep, I can't, because I have too much in my head...
What helps me is that I just seek the company of really funny, nice people, they always make me happy. Sometimes.
But mostly, music is my cure.

 

listening to the rain as i sit and watch it from my windowsill
playing with my cat
running in mud puddles/rivers w/friends
getting high and going for a long walk
hugs and chinese food
car rides and vacations
watching comedy movies or cult classics
compliments

 

When I want to obtain happiness, I just listen to Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles =)

 

1. MUSIC
(...can't forget friends )

 

Re-watch Chocolat or Garden State.

Mess with my guitar or bongos.

Play with my dog.

Call a friend.

 

two things-- jack johnson and white chocolate ice cream and justin and alyssa. . . .
4 things really, i lied

 

1)listening to some tripped out happy music like lucy in the sky with diamonds
2)meditating
3)burning inscence
4)thinking of dropping out of society
5)reading something spiritual like the bibal or books on buddhisim
6)writing poetry

those are some of the things that make me happy when im feeling down,but i find that in the society i live in since there is so much negative energy its hard to keep being happy.i guess i should just take timothy leary's advice and turn on tune in and drop out.

 

what?! no one mentioned reading everyone's opinions on hipforums,comon u guys know its u happy! and why didnt anyone mention there significant other? aret they suppose to keep you very happy?mine does-most of the time amy

 

Music is my medicine!

4) reading a book by Paramahansa Yogananda
5) watching either a 'chick flick' or Monty Python
6) watching the Ravi Shankar part of Concert for George (I love that song)
7) incense, def.
8) hanging out with my friend Mandy
9) walking in Double Trouble State Park

 

hiya! I get the blues quite badly, i find yoga very helpful. Salutes to the sun is a little routine which is prescribed as therapy for depression. Give it a go, it works. i've started meditation, just counting breaths, 1-10 and start again, observe thoughts and feelings then let them go, when done regularly the tendency to step back from negative thoughts and emotions, comes into everyday life. it's helped me when i've been low. my love goes out to all people struggling with the blues. x
peace
