People often ask: What can I do to boost my happiness? Psychologists have suggested that happiness consists of three distinct principles: First, research into exercise has found that it has a positive impact on mood. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain to produce the feel-good factor. The mind and the body are highly interconnected. We can all make fairly easy changes in our lifestyle to include more exercise, healthier eating, getting enough sleep, being exposed to sunlight and so on. Additionally, having good relationships is a big part of being happy. In one study, most happy people were found to have strong ties to friends and family and they made sure they spent time with them regularly. You also need at least one person who you discuss personal feelings with – called ‘self-disclosure’. It’s not enough to have lots of friends just to do things with or chat to about music or football. That deeper connection is all-important. Finally, discover what your unique strengths and virtues are and then use them for a purpose which benefits other people or your community. People who play to their strengths (e.g. curiosity or persistence) or virtues (e.g. justice or humanity) and use them in different ways and in different situations are happier than those who focus more on their weaknesses. In other words, focus on the positive, not the negative, and be true to yourself. Therefore, people who have healthy life, stronger relationship, and focus on personal strengths have higher levels of well-being.

 MathMan 13: Your problem is very common! I find having a designated quiet corner to be helpful. When a student acts up, have the student sit in the corner until he or she calms down. More often than not, misbehaving students will be on their best behavior for the rest of the day. 

TeacherPro 90: I recommend having a special quiet signal. When I want my students to be quiet, I raise one hand in the air and cover my mouth with my other hand. One by one, students will copy my quiet signal. In a short period of time, all students will stop talking.

 SchoolLady 3: Be consistent when enforcing class rules, and follow a routine. For example, my students are supposed to be quiet when getting in line. If they talk, I have them sit back down. I explain to them that they need to start over and line up again. The second time, students do so quietly. Repetition is the key! If students follow the rules particularly well, I reward them. For example, we might take a break to play a fun game together.
