Another secret to living a happy life is to be active． Many people go dancing or play sports． People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities．
Finally， many people find happiness in helping others． Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others． If you want to feel happier， do good things for someone． You can help a friend with his or her studies， go shopping to buy food for an elderly person， or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．
