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?

Ive just accepted about myself that I take things too seriously. I dont even get jokes. I take them too literally. As for not caring about what people think so much, for me it was a combination of things. Being a store greeter at Walmart during covid, discovering husband had a double life, and lots of therapy.
