Happiness Cards- As tacky as it sounds, I have found this to work wonderfully. Get yourself a bunch of bright colored index cards, write down something that makes you happy and grateful on each, and decorate them with stickers. Do this every day and either stick them on your wall or bulletin board, or keep them with your gratitude journal. It will help to listen to your favorite, upbeat songs while make these "happiness cards".

Bubble Bath - Every time you find yourself worrying or feeling upset about something, go take a nice, hot bubble bath immediately. Don't hesitate to do it. If you're not home when you start feel upset, then do it the second you get home.

If you feel stuck where you are - If you're not happy with the area you're in and wish you could be elsewhere in the world, try thinking about the good things about the place you're at instead of the bad things. There is goodness and light found everywhere. Go sightseeing and take some nature pictures if you have to. How do you expect to move on if you can't even appreciate where you're at now?

Dance - Listen to your favorite upbeat songs over and over again; just start bouncing around dancing to them. I have also found that turning the light out and lighting a few candles and incense (usually Dragons Blood) and dancing to hypnotic/trance music is a very interesting experience. You could also go to a club or studio and dance if you're not shy.

Meditate - Meditate for at least 20 - 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. Imagine your body being surrounded by a very, very bright light. If you're someone who has trouble staying still, there is such thing as "walking meditation". Go outside for a walk on a nice day. Slowly walking on the rail of the tracks is a good way to meditate (ONLY for those who live near old, abandoned tracks). Say this over and over again "I float, not walk. I float, not walk" and focus on your breathing. You are less likely to fall off if you do those two things. Just use common sense and don't wear earplugs so you can hear if a train is coming.

Breathing Technique - Speaking of breathing, a good way to help stay calm is to spend a minute focusing on your breath. Close your eyes, put your right hand over your chest and your left hand over your belly. This can be done anywhere, anytime. Breath in deeply (it's up to you whether to use your mouth or nose) and count to 4, hold it for 4 seconds, then realize. Hold it again for 4 seconds, and then start over. Count to 4 with each of the 4 steps. Continue this for a minute or two.

Cuddle with your pets- There is not much in the world sweeter than a happy cat or dog. Petting and loving animals is a great way to help one stay calm. It is a great way to help raise your vibes. It will make them feel great too. Pets can sense a mile a way when something is bothering their human. My cats run up to me and try to comfort me whenever I am upset, even if I'm in another room. It would stand to say then that pets know when their humans are really happy as well.
