What you need to know:

  • Write a list of things you like about yourself, for example, that you’re honest, or kind, or always there for your friends.
  • Even a short time each week doing something that involves complete concentration will increase your sense of control and self worth.

Happiness isn’t some impossible dream. It’s something you can work on.
