Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Romans 12:2
People often manufacture their own unhappiness by the negative manner in which they think about things. Work with your mind, exercise disciplinary control, and re-slant your thoughts for happier living. Drain the mind, by consciously conceiving of yourself as dropping out every destructive thought, every fear, every inferiority feeling. Picture your mind as completely empty. Then start filling it with thoughts of God, and of Christ, thoughts about every good and pleasant thing. Practice this new habit regularly twice every day, morning and evening, to counteract the older and negative habit of allowing unhappy things to occupy your mind. In due course, unhappy thoughts will not feel at home in your mind, and happy thoughts will transform you.

Happiness

"Happiness doesn't depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much."

ME FIRST

Put yourself first. Make time for yourself. Prioritize your health and your happiness. Selfish is not a dirty word. Do something for yourself. It is not all about what you can do for others although that's not a bad thing, but it is very important that you take care of yourself, because if there is no YOU then YOU can't take care of any one else... It's just that simple... ME FIRST...
