Happy Six round (What you can do)

I have been attempting to consolidate the codes and define the codes since Happy Fifth round or since Oct. 20th.  I have started to add more sources (blog posts) that I came across which might not the key word "Happy"-- the original criteria for source selection.

I was going to wait till I finish the whole thing but decided to push this update first since it feels right to do so.

So far, I have merged several codes together based on the similarity of the themes.  Some of the codes contains relatively small number of references.  I decide to keep them because, based on my overall recall of the entire dataset, these seem to be some of the recurrent themes.  One reason why only limited number of references are linked to these codes might have to do with the selection of the subset used to create the coding scheme.

Please be also be reminded of the importance of the contextual background.  

The data was collected from a schizo-something patient with the propensity for depression who suffers from chronic pain and physical disability as well as other strange stuffs otherwise not classified. Yet, the case, who happens to be me also, keeps on trying to live to be happy.

Some of the codes might be considered as unconventional such as avoid what makes you not happy, be stupid, etc.  However, these codes have to be understood based on the context from which they emerge.

Following are some of the themes going under "What you can do to help yourself be happy."  Codes listed in alphabetical order.

1. Accept that somethings won't be the same and rise above it: Getting old, being psychotic, being in chronic pain, being dumb down, unable to lift weight, unable to walk (fast), cripple
2. Avoid what makes you not happy: Adjust yourself to the circumstances. suffering, dial up
3. Be honest. Stop lying especially to yourself.
4. Be with loving people or things: Be with people and nature that love you and who you love. Remember. Don't force yourself otherwise unless you want to... can't help it.
5. Do your best (merged with no regret): Even if there might be things you can not get done, at least, you made your best judgment, you tried your best and no fear for regretting in the future. 
6. Find reasonable hobbies that can make you happy
7. Find your core: What is most important thing in your existence
8. Happier to give than to receive (merge with tell people about happiness): Concern, freebies, smile, class material, share experiences to help people be happier, give back, give seats away, give directions to help people get unlost
9. Inner work- 反觀諸己: Bitching about others won't do much good for you, mind your own business, work on yourself
10. Getting something done (merged with try new things, work): Getting a degree, identify your problem, get the job done (or not), go to work, get data collected, do something new, look for a job, help others even through your being the other person's worse-off, tedious thing such as software recall, cut down on smoking, learn a lesson, clean up, get down with unfinished business such as classes, learn something new, do something not too many people have done before such as "pending" when waiting for the outcome of reinstatement from DHS, kicking on kicking with my broken back and head, put up a poster of junior idols in your room, my work gotten cited.
11. Give it time for the solution to unfold (merge with Let it run through): Give it time, let it run though, keep on doing what seems to work best on your best judgment and something will clear up.
12. KISS (Keep it simple and stupid) principle (merge with Let it be. simply happy, Take complements): Work on being simple and stupid
13. Learn to stop: Somethings you simply have to let it run through. Other things, help yourself to learn to stop especially when associated with the symptoms of "can't mind your own business disorder."
14. Let go. Parsifal. Sometimes, you should try to allow yourself to simply be stupid if this is what it takes. Say... I am the stupid one, I am the dumb one and I am the imperfect one.  Wonderful.  Let me move on from here and try to do what I can do.
15. Look for people in worst off state (everybody's got their issue)
16. Talk to Honest friends: Honest friends will set you straight although sometimes their words might be hard to bear. For your own good.
17. Trick the Brain (Biofeedback and put a smile on your face)
