Make Changes in your room :

Try changing a new bed spread and a new curtains. Rearrange the furnitures if possible replace them. It really helps.
Read a Book:
This is the easy way out, A book are true companions, you can read it either in your room, or take it to a nearest park with some snack and a drink, and get yourself lost in the book. Instead of choosing horror,fiction, detective or love/romance i would suggest you to try autobiography, philosophy and self development suff.
We are done with our instant remedies, trust me they will work like a magic.
Family & Friends:
For long time break you sure can try visiting family and friends, choose to visit people who are they themselves are a happy soul, and can lit up the place especially old people like granny. when you meet people after a long time there are good chances they remind you with lots of happy memories which you have long forgotten. you will actually come to know how happy and free spirited once you are. I would also suggest you to spend a lot of time with kids and watching kids, sometimes kid will teach the most valuable lessons in life.
Take a trip or tour:
Depending upon you resources (time & money) plan and trip. If you want a fun trip like paragliding, scuba diving go with your friends, but if your looking for peace and spend some me time, go all by yourself. A spiritual trip will also serve the purpose. when on trip try to have local food and get to know about the culture of the place as much as possible.
Get a Pet:
Trust me on this, you will never ever feel lonely if you have a pet around. No matter what they will always be there with the same love. Get any pet, i guess doggy would be a much more a lively companion.
Brush up your old skills:
Stay in touch with stuff which make you feel alive, when you were young, you might have spent hours on the ground playing cricket. Painting.. Dancing, singing, writing.. Any thing that makes you happy. Remember people have the same 24hrs.
Whenever possible spend time and money for less fortunate. You can also donate blood and organs and promote it among peers. One cannot explain the joy of giving, Charity will sure fill the vacuum in your heart. It is the right thing to do, you will sleep like a baby after feeling the sense of fulfilment. Sharing is caring. Donate your old cloths, toys and anything that might help.
Above all for a life time of happiness invest in yourself.
Learn a foreign language.
Learn to play a string instrument.
Learn swimming
In other words learning is a continuous process, you are never to old to learn anything new.
Have proper diet, get sufficient amount of sleep, workout, A health life is a happy life. Mean what good is life when you cant have cake in a birthday party.
Make this as a everyday routine : Workout, Go for cycling, at least try walking.
I am done.. Be sure to share your secret to happiness.
