Smiling actually activates happy regions of the brain. Maybe smiling is the way to feel happy. How about trying it?

@soulsings Smiling for the purpose of trying to feel happy just activates my “this is bull poop regions of my brain.” But having said that, I’m smiling lol

@helpfulAvocado7912 Glad you are smiling!

I try to avoid skepticism and just try it. If it works fine. If not I try something else.
