6. Learn to “Let it go.”
Let it go.
If someone cuts you off in traffic, let it go. If someone is rude to you, be extra kind back to them, and let it go. The less you let someone else occupy your head space with their own rudeness or negativity, the better off you will be. It takes practice, but it has helped my level of happiness overall.

7. Get enough sleep
Get enough sleep. I realized in college that I was hating classes, not enjoying any homework, and spending too many hours on video games, tv, and reddit.
So I went cold turkey, no digital entertainment except to watch tv/movies WITH roommates. It was crazy. I had all sorts of time so I’d get all my homework done, then by the time 10pm rolled around I figured I’d just go to bed cause I had nothing else to do. So then I started getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night and then I started to really enjoy my classes and feel better about doing homework.
Now I can’t even function right without less than 8, and I shoot for 9+ almost every single night and I love life.

8. Stop focusing so much on negative shit
I picked up on it a bit in the new year and as someone who struggles with depression and anxiety it’s kind of weirdly empowering to realize I have the ability to help it in a small way, plus people are already noticing. Just stop browsing suicide memes and look at puppies.

9. Wash your dishes immediately after using them
Helps me feel more motivated to cook my meals as I don’t have a giant mess to clean before I can start cooking. I’ve been eating healthier and saving lots of money on eating out because of it.
