Notice that I dont take credit for this program. The people who invented these ways take credit. I just take credit for 2(drinking lots of water at once) since its completely my invention, and I take credit for putting all these ways together, but I did have help from AI in finding all these ways.

I believe if person practices all these ways or most of them, person will be happy.

These ways dont require spending lots of money. In fact, these ways are free.

Uh, well, having sex is cool and everything I guess, but I thought that one needs no mention here.

Also, by self-massage, I didnt mean masturbation. Really gotta point out that.
