What is the best thing to do with your life?

Hmm...let me think.. ok got it. The most valuable thing you can do in life is a little selfish and try to put yourself first.

I don't know who asked this question but I'm pretty sure she/he also struggled to make himself/herself happy. Don't worry I was there once and those who are happy also were in the darkest phase of their life.

I'm in my late 20's but feel alive from last few year. Here are the things I do to make myself happy...

Physically

I love food and whenever I'm upset I eat and I'm upset most of the time. So I gain a lot of weight and I lost confidence with time on my body. Then I started dieting , exercising this video that video , reducing this much kg in these many days. However, ironically, it created a lot of problems. So everything is on and off.. nothing workout. In the end I lost hope like this I guess 4-5 yr went. One day my father told me why don't you do Suryanamaskar? Then I said why not? This time, I started small, 2 rounds, 5 rounds, and added some other yoga exercises. And with a little bit of diet control I lost 13-14 kg and I'm so happy now. I gained confidence back. A lot of struggle but in the end it paid off. I say no to parties, food outside with a heavy heart.

Mentally

If you had read any of my answer I always follow this "If I can't control it don't worry if you can control why to worry" Before I try to make people happy , worry about my impression , what people will think this that.But in the end I was the one who was hurt so I stop changing people instead I start changing myself.

Emotionally

This is the toughest part to achieve. I'm a little emotionally weak. So it's easy to hurt me but not anymore. Being hurt so much nowadays doesn't matter much to me. Until I hurt someone physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially, I don't have to worry about anything. I tried a lot of things in my life to be strong, but I failed. As a result, I surrendered myself to God in the end. And that is the best decision of my life. Also, people have complained whether God is there or not. My simple answer to any question is I like it, I love it, it gives me peace so IM going to do it. If you do not believe in God, I have no problem with it. If I believe in God, then that must be fine with you as well. Peace is ultimately what matters most.

This is how I make myself a batter every day. From my past experience I have learnt you can't change anyone, you can only change yourself.
