At the end of the day, you are a combination of your habits and the people who you spend the most time with. When we're kids, we have very few habits. Over time, we learn the things we are not supposed to do. We become self-conscious. We start forming habits and routines.

You can build good habits. Not drinking alcohol will keep your mood more stable. Not eating sugar will keep your mood more stable. Not going on Facebook, Snapchat, or Twitter will keep your mood more stable. Playing video games will make you happier in the short run, but in the long run, it could ruin your happiness. Caffeine is another one where you trade long term for the short term.
