- Pray and talk to the Lord or whoever you worship. Before you go to bed each night, take a few minutes to send a few effective prayers up to heaven. Attend church on a regular basis if possible, and keep in contact with and be sure you have accepted the Lord Jesus if your call yourself a Christian, and show your love for God by helping the least of his children.
- Read a lot. Try to study new topics and try new things, this is not only to exercise your mind but also to improve your intelligence.

- Listen to your inner voice and follow your gut. What is your inner voice telling you? It's usually the right decision. Stick with your gut, don't do something you may regret.
- Laugh a lot and sing aloud to your favorite song. These simple things can really improve the way you feel towards yourself and life in general.
