2. Make everyone else feel worse. Your attitude won't change, but you'll look better by comparison.

3. Observe and note your motivations and reactions as you go through day to day life. Take some quiet time to analyze how you respond to things and see if you can identify methods that no longer involve savage profanity. Then, rob a liquor store.

4. A simple three step process guarunteed to change your attitude.
Step one: give everything you own to people who actually need it. "People who need it" can include organizations which will redistribute for you, if you are lazy. You are allowed to keep clothing (2 pair shoes, 4 pair pants, 10 shirts, 10 pair socks, underwear), a bed, futon, or bedroll, and food. Nothing else.
Step two: get a job. This step is key, particularly for people under the age of 21. Get a job, and keep it. Not mowing lawns, a real job. Stocking shelves at a grocery store is recommended. Or custodial assistant.
Step three: wait two months, and then get assessment from no fewer than three seperate sources: a parent, a supervisor, and somebody you dislike. If the assessment(s) are not improve, apply method 1 as listed above by Shan.

7. Smile. It makes you feel better, ecourages your friends, and really scares the daylights out of your enemies.
Seriously, I begin feeling good when I start smiling.

7. Get into a serious car accident (I suppose you could just imagine that part). Live for a couple of days certain that you're going to die. Survive. Later, remember how you felt when every day was an unexpected gift.
8. Eat a live bullfrog first thing in the morning. Nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day!
9. Really, really screw up. Bad. There was no excuse for you to do what you did, but you did it anyway. Now that you're no longer deserving of having everything your way, you can be happy whenever it does anyway.
10. Whatever it is you have to do but you dread doing, go ahead and do it. It'll be a weight off.
11. Tell yourself that since you aren't starving, homeless, or on fire, it really would be OK if you spent a whole hour (or minute, or afternoon) focusing totally on doing good for someone else.
12. Tell yourself it is your *duty* to be happy, as this makes other's lives better just being around you. (I got this from Happiness Is a Serious Problem by Dennis Prager.)

23. If a particular limb or appendage is bothering you, chose a random unoffending limb and remove it. When you're left arm is laying on the floor that scab on your right knee won't be bothering you at all... trust me.
