e asked BuzzFeed Community what tiny changes they've made that made their life a little better. Here are some of the best answers:
1. Find a "third space" that makes you happy.
"We need more than just work and home. It's nice to have extra places (coffee shop, gym, nice park, library) when you leave work but don't necessarily want to hang at home. Plus, if you make yourself a regular at certain places, you'll usually bump into the same people. It's a great feeling to have a friendly face recognise you.
2. Take 15 minutes each night to make your mornings easier.
"Prep coffee. Pack your lunch. Pick out your clothes. You've heard it all before but you've heard it all before for a reason. It works!"
3. Spread the love.
"Do something nice for someone you care about. Then they feel good, you get to know that you made them feel good, and overall your friendships will be super fun and fulfilling."
4. Change your sheets.
"Put clean bed sheets on every Sunday. It helps me feel fresh for the week ahead."
5. Make a vision board.
"It sounds kinda naff, but fill it with images that inspire you. Beautiful things, places you're planning to travel to, things like that."
6. Make time every day to do something to make you smile.
"I love knitting, and not only does it make me happy, it helps to relax and rejuvenate my mind so I can accomplish everything I want to during the day.
7. Spend time in the mornings setting yourself up for the day.
"I really got into makeup this year and started switching up my regular routine. The me time in the morning is really special. I sit in my bed facing the window, listen to a podcast, and spend some quiet time with myself."
8. Embrace loose-leaf tea.
"It sounds silly, but I love taking the time to measure out the tea, boil the water, steep it in the tea pot, and drink it. It's a nice 20 minutes that I have for myself to clear my mind and enjoy a quiet moment in the morning. Plus it wakes my mind up so I'm alert when I get in the car and go to work."
9. Allocate yourself guilt-free days off to just do nothing.
"I have found that if I am dreading something, I am either too tired to do it or I'm unprepared. So taking time to rest or finish is more effective than 'powering through'. I end up feeling better and being more effective at the same time, so win-win."
10. Celebrate your wins.
"Try to remember accomplishments because being depressed makes you feel like you can't do anything." – Nali Mikely, Facebook
11. Face your fears.

"I started facing my fears this year because I was forced into a situation where I had to be really assertive and confrontational. And it wasn't so bad. So I decided to face them all: I started doing boxing, going to the shooting range, saying no, public speaking. I’m excited for this year!" –
12. Love yourself.
"I take a dry-erase marker and write something I like about myself on my bedroom mirror which I look at every day. I erase and start over on Mondays." –
13. Put pen to paper.

"I took up bullet journalling in June of this year, and it has seriously improved my personal productivity. I’m a very visual person, and the satisfaction of a physical list I can cross my to-dos off of is unparalleled. That satisfaction really motivates me to get things done."
14. Exercise in the morning.

"I used to go to the gym in the evenings after work, and it was so easy to cancel because I was tired. Now I wake up an hour earlier and get it done before starting my day, and I don't have to think about it. I've never regretted getting up early to work out. Even if I just take time to go for a short walk, it really improves the rest of my day." – Jemima Skelley
15. Keep a list of things that make you happy.

"I keep a list of little things like comments, good experiences, and conversations that have made me happy in the notes on my phone. Whenever I’m feeling kind of sad or just cranky, I look through the list. It always makes me smile and remember why I have so much to be grateful for."
16. Enjoy the sun.

"I think the easiest way to make my life better is simply by having a cup of coffee near sunlight. Whether it’s sitting in my living room with the sun shining through the window or sitting on the porch, or even on a bench with a takeaway coffee. It’s the little things." – emmar4a03735a5
17. Go to therapy.

"Go to therapy once a week. Even if everything is going okay that week, it still is good to talk and be able to deal with all my mini frustrations, and it makes opening up about the big stuff easier." – nicolescoutg
18. Craft yourself a to-do list.
"For recurring tasks that have to be done daily/weekly/monthly, I design a cute checklist on Canva that matches my office decor and laminate it so that I can check items off with a dry-erase marker rather than having an ugly whiteboard up!" – addeyt
19. Don't let your phone wake you up.
"Put your phone on Do Not Disturb every night before you fall asleep so you aren't woken by notifications." – Michelle Rennex
20. Have a day off social media every now and then.
"Log off, and spend the whole day away from your phone or computer." – Lane Sainty
21. Make your bed.
"Make your bed in the morning! It doesn’t have to be perfect but take ten seconds to straighten and pull up the covers and it makes crawling into bed at the end of the day so much more satisfying!"
