Try to do something for others including your family and friends, even if it would be a small amount. Such acts can make you feel as if you are doing something powerful. That is inspiring!

It is possible that you do not have extra money to spend for others. So what? You can still give to others and reap the feel good benefits. Research suggests that doing good deeds make you feel more joyful.

Another thing to make you happier is to motivate yourself with inspiring words. Turns out simply reading inspiring words, such as "strive", can motivate you subconsciously, encouraging you to excel at whatever attempt is at hand. So try jotting down a few encouraging terms (strive; achieve; dream; succeed) on sticky notes and keep them in sight throughout the day. Then start reaching for the stars.

You can do virtually the same exercise in your head. Whenever you need to cheer yourself up and keep your motivation high, try to replace downer thoughts with a more upbeat message. Think, how great you will feel when you have finished all your tasks, then would tell all your companions that you did it and go off and have fun!
