 19. Manage your stress levels.
Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that inhibits your happy hormones. If you're always stressed out, it's not surprising that you're unhappy.

 20. Eat more dairy, eggs and corn.
Foods like meat, dairy, eggs and corn contain tryptophan, a substance that your body converts into serotonin. You should also add more protein to your diet, since it triggers the release of dopamine. |

 21. Meditate.
Take 15 minutes out of your day to meditate, by sitting in a quiet place and just concentrating on your breathing. Meditating can actually rewire pathways in your brain, to make you a happier person! |

 22. Exercise.
If you've watched Legally Blonde, you know that "exercise releases endorphins, and endorphins make you happy!" The movie was right; endorphins are another one of the hormones related to happiness, and they give you a natural high. |

 23. Get enough sleep.
You've probably noticed that you're extremely tired and cranky after a poor night's sleep. Well, studies have shown that lack of sleep messes with your hormones and makes you more like to get depressed, while also making you a less optimistic person overall. |
