How many times have you read on Google or social media platforms that “your happiness lies in you”. A lot of times??
Yes! We know the fact that our happiness lies in us. But, there are external factors which are out of our control that keep hindering our cheerfulness. Modifying your actions positively according to your mood will definitely boost your behaviour and cheer you up. Your happiness will always lie in you. Don’t get dependent on others to be happy.
Who knew that getting happy is just a 5-minutes job?
Here we have listed 10 ways to get happier only in 5 minutes.
Write it down
Whenever you get sad, write 3 positive things about you on a piece of paper. You will become more positive and more optimistic in the next 5 minutes.

Did you know that watching moving cars on the road and listening to their vroom-vroom while enjoying the fresh air can actually help you in getting happier? Try this out and feel the difference.
Ohh wait, if it’s extremely hot and you hate summers like anything, find a place which has more shadows to get saved from the sun-heat.
