how to not take life, myself and people too seriously and be 'happy'

i always tend to take life, myself and people too seriously and end up feeling uptight, which isn't good for my health, so how can you learn to just 'relax', take a breath and let things go? not brood on what someone said or did which you didn't like?

Well, it's certainly not easy, letting things go at times. I have found that when I am upset about something someone said or did, the quickest way for ME to forget about it and move on is to play an online game.

I particularly love Sherlock Detective Hidden object and Maze game. There is ONE chapter of ONE book which I know backwards and forwards, and if I play that one game till they kick me off the site because I've run out of energy, it calms me down completely. By the time I am done, I don't even remember being upset! ☺☺☺
