（1）
Are you truly happy 1 These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves．The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life．
● Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy．Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value．
●Surround yourself with happy people． 2 On the contrary, if you are around people who are happy, their emotional state will be infectious．
●When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity．Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor．
● 3 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness．
● 4 You can treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance．Then you will be subconsciously（下意识地）putting yourself in a better mood．
●Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness．Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy．
●Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness． 5
A．It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way．

You can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbours or even your customers! Try to keep a low profile（姿态）in your neighborhood: don’t announce to just about everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment．
1 In fact I know of some home-based entrepreneurs（企业家）who would rather meet their customers in a neutral（中间的）ground, e．g．the customers’ office or even Starbucks（星巴克）．
2
●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings． 3
●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot．Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowner’s insurance premiums（费用）．

● 5 The dead-lock, sometimes called an “exit-only deadbolt” is a deadbolt that doesn’t have an external（外部的）key．It’s clearly visible on the door from the outside, but can’t be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself．While the security won’t help directly when you aren’t home, the visibility may discourage an intruder（干扰者）from trying the door．

Cleaning is necessary to enjoy the feeling after you clean — when everything is clean and in order．You feel better about yourself because you were productive and accomplished something that is beneficial to everyone in your household． 1
2 To make things easier on you if you have a full day of other activities, clean a little bit at a time．For example, dust all of your furniture one day and then clean your floors the next．Or find something else that needs to be done．
Turn on your favorite music（CDs, radios, music videos on TV, etc.）．Just let it all out．Dance, sing, and act crazy． 3 Have some fun- act silly．You might like it．And it makes the tasks more manageable．
4 You’ll feel more organized when you have a list to follow．The feeling of accomplishment of your goals is also rewarding．And when you’re done with the list, reward yourself by doing something fun．
Cleaning doesn’t always have to be drudgery（苦差事）．The biggest tip I can give is not to let things get piled up and disgustingly（讨厌地）dirty． 5 Do the things that need to be done routinely so that you won’t have even more work to do when you get down to cleaning．
A．Cleaning doesn’t have to be done in full all at one time, unless you want it to．

●If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person．You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset．You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow． 3
●If you sleep on curling（蜷缩）up, you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive． 4 You prefer to be on your own／stay alone．
● 5 You know your strengths and weakness．You’re usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

● 5
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．
