HACKS:

- Have less Desires

• * Key to be more happy and to actually fulfill your one desire.

• * Focus on your most burning desire. Let go of the rest.

- Positivism

* Train yourself to see the bright side of anything that happens, until that behavior becomes second nature.

• * If it's too painful, at least see it as a teacher.

(to anything, you either take its bright side or its lesson)

- Biological Hacks

* Smile

* Hug

* Spend time in Nature

- Watch your mind

• Identify potentially unhelpful thoughts.

• * Understand why these thoughts exist.

e.g./ A necessary behavior of tuning out later becomes ADHD.
