1. Love Yourself

Merry Riana emphasizes the importance of loving yourself as the first step to achieving happiness. “Happiness starts with ourselves. If we don't love and accept ourselves, how can we expect others to?” she says.

Loving ourselves means accepting all the strengths and weaknesses we have. Try to give yourself compliments and invest in things that make you happy, such as hobbies or quality time with family. “Don't compare yourself to others, it will put you under pressure,” she adds.

2. Doing Good

Being kind to others not only has a positive impact on them, but also on ourselves. “Kindness is a long-term investment in our happiness,” she says.

By doing small acts, such as helping a friend or donating time to a social cause, we can increase our sense of empathy and self-satisfaction. Doing good not only creates happiness for others, but also for ourselves. Marry also adds that we must treat people well, if we want to be treated the same way.

3. Be a Positive Person

Positivity is the key to creating a happy atmosphere in our lives. “Positive thoughts attract good things. When we think positively, we are better able to face life's challenges,” says Merry.

Try to change negative mindsets into positive ones. For example, when facing failure, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. We must be able to see everything from the bright side.

4. Not Hurting Others

Merry emphasizes that one way to achieve happiness is to avoid hurting others, both physically and emotionally. “We have to remember that everyone is struggling with their own problems. Appreciating and respecting others will create better relationships and help us feel happier,” she explains.

Try to think before you speak because what you think is normal can be sensitive to others.

5. Always Give

Finally, Merry reminds us that giving is not just about material things, but also about time, attention, and affection. “When we give, we feel more connected to others, and that is one of the most profound sources of happiness,” she says. The act of giving will create a deep sense of gratitude and increase our own happiness.

By applying these five simple tips-love yourself, do good, be positive, don't hurt others, and always give-we can build a happier and more meaningful life. Happiness is not an end goal, but a journey that we should enjoy every step of the way. (*)
