        Happiness is not something that can be forced upon someone, nor is it definite. It could mean different
        things to different people. Having a good circle of friends, spending time with family, or scoring well
        in exams may all be source of happiness. However, rather than focusing on one aspect of your life,
        committing to your overall wellness may result in long term happiness, so do these things more often
        and stay happy!

                           Expand
                         your social
                  circle (but take pleasure
                in being alone too): Having
                 friends or being a part of a
            community is important. Visit your
           friends on a regular basis, spend time
             with your family, and make social
            plans on occasion. However, if you
              feel at peace being alone, do that
             too. Sometimes, you need to give
                yourself some ‘me time’ and
                      enjoy that as well.

                        Smile more (and
                     mean it): A smile can
                     brighten anyone’s day.
                  Scientifically, smiling is also
                 associated with the release of
                  a ‘feel good’ hormone called
                  dopamine, which is said to
                     make you happier and
                      also helps you cope
                           with stress.
