How I did it: I tried not to let things get to me so much, and when they did just think of things I'm looking forward to instead.  I smiled as much as possible.  I did things I loved and when I was faced with something I didn't like, I dealt with it and moved on.

Lessons & tips:

• Resolve problems as quickly as possible and don't worry so much about them.
• When you're sad, just stop thinking about for twenty seconds with a smile on your face.  When you're finished, don't try to think about it again, just focus on something else.
• Use any excuse to smile, and always smile at strangers.  It'll probably make their day, too.
