Last week, I asked,

“In one sentence, what should people do to become happier?”

Here are the 10 best answers:

— Thread —
“Do hard things.”

@ZachHomol and @PeakRepeat

Accomplishing a hard feat brings you an unmatched feeling of satisfaction.

Not only that, but it’ll boost your confidence and help you take on anything life throws at you.
“Choose an attitude of gratitude.”

@tyromper

Look around you. Your life is a miracle. Never take what you have for granted.

Every day is a gift and should be treated as such.
“Live in the moment.”

@mattizzofitness

The past cannot be changed. The future is unpredictable. Worrying about either will only waste time.

Plan for the future, but never neglect the present moment. It’s all we have.
“Pursue what makes you come alive.”

@CanDivStocks

If it makes your heart beat fast, it is probably worth pursuing.
“Stop living for the approval of others.”

@chadaunderwood

You will never please everyone.

People will always find ways to judge you. Accept that, and choose to never worry about it again.
“Experience nature as much as possible.”

@peacenprana

People who spend time in nature are generally happier.

Fresh air and sunlight are both happiness boosters.
“Say out loud 3 things you are grateful for every day.”

@IDontGiveAFit

We already touched on gratitude.

But thoughts are most powerful when written or spoken out loud.

Say what you’re grateful for each day, and you will train your mind to be happier with what you have.
“Stop comparing your life to others.”

@Zatochi9

No one is you, and you don’t know anyone’s full story.

People don’t share the bad parts of their life, so you’ll have an inaccurate view if you try to compare yourself to them.

Social media amplifies this.

Avoid comparisons.
“Exercise/move your body.”

Many people talked about the benefits of exercise and happiness.

Find what you enjoy and incorporate it into your life.

Lifting, running, biking, hiking, playing sports, walking your dog, etc. are all great ways to move.
“Turn off the news.”

Another popular answer.

Eliminating negative influences from your surroundings will have an immediate positive impact on your life.

The news and media in general thrive off negativity, as it keeps viewers interested.

Turn it off.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the discussion!

I wasn’t able to include every name for each answer, so I apologize.
