50 Simple Happiness Boosters :-
1) Read A Book
Gaining more knowledge will make you better prepared to accomplish what you desire.

2) Volunteer
Helping others is a great way to boost how you feel about yourself.
`sometimes is good to give other a helping hand but please bear in mind make sure it's within your mean and not to stress yourself out'
3. Give someone a compliment
Brightening someone else day also brightens your own.
`ya, totally agreed, do not be so selfish with `compliments', sometimes a small compliment can really brighten us throughout a gloomy day'

Making yourself look great demonstrates to yourself how valuable you think you are.

Holding your behaviour to a higher standard makes you feel better about yourself.
