  • Talk to people for a few minutes who are positive towards life.
  • Drink 7–8 glasses of water.
  • I talk to the vegetable vendor, domestic help and security guard and ask them about their life whenever I meet them. They feel special and I get attention — both the parties feel happy.


  • Help people whenever you get a chance. This will give you confidence.
  • At times, think negative, something like, what if your parents, spouse, children were not there around, how empty you had felt, Or, what if you were jobless, how miserable your life had been. This will give you immense satisfaction and make you grateful for things that you have.
