Easygoing...
Mental health, like physical helath, depends on being in balance, with each component part working harmoniously together. Our moods are like the tides, ever-shifting. To stay balanced, be aware of your thoughts and what you tell yourself about what's happening.
"...our life has meaning, purpose and value, not by what we achieve or possess, but simply because we are.."---J. Kehoe, The Practice of Happiness
Be someone who loves life, Be someone who gets excited about little things, things like the first signs of spring or baby ducklings or a new book by your favorite author. People will smile at you patronizingly---it's so easy to make you happy. But isn't that better than being the reverse, someone who is easily made unhappy?
Take a pleasure break. Every day
Have FUN. It's better than Botox.
Don't let anyone else tell you what you ought to do for fun. It it gets boring fast, you regret later, or it makes someone else hunhappy, don't do it---even if it's what most people your age do.
