7 tips to make yourself happy

　　1. Pretend to smile. When you are depressed, stressed or angry, putting on a smile can help release bad emotions and be beneficial to your body and mind.

　　2. Tidy up the room. A messy room or office can be unsettling. Therefore, tidying up your room can improve your bad mood. For example, put the scattered objects on the floor in their place, clean up the things on the table, and fold the quilt neatly.

　　3. Wear a blue shirt. Blue is a natural mood "relaxant", which is the real reason why "looking up at the blue sky makes you feel more relaxed". In contrast, orange is the most irritating, black can easily arouse anger, and although red can increase energy in a person's body, it can easily make people uneasy.
