Shawn Achor defined happiness as "the joy we feel moving toward our potential," in The Happiness Advantage (https://amzn.to/3wo9vPP) and I really like that definition.
I think the Honeymoon Effect shows us this in action. The "life satisfaction" goes up before getting married, and this correlates with the wedding and honeymoon planning phase. After the honeymoon, the life satisfaction levels return to their levels before that planning began.
When we're looking forward to something and start to plan for it, whether it be a graduation party, upcoming vacation, or a marriage, we enter into this excited state of mind or being. We think about all of the amazing things we will get to do, be or have.
The idea that our happiness levels drop after we are done planning could be depressing. But, once you realize where the happiness actually is, you can use it to your advantage. Start planning something new.
If you get married and are done with your honeymoon, don't just settle in, start planning a new vacation (even if it's years ahead). Or plan little date nights.
Right now you can start to plan something to do on the weekend, or even what to do tonight after work. It doesn't have to be big. The planning itself can be more fun than the actual event. Having something, no matter how small, to look forward to can increase your happiness levels.
Your experiences of the world are not always a reflection of reality. Your brain has to make decisions of what to focus on, & THAT is what you perceive. Your perception is not always correct because it's not built on all data. So question what you believe. "Is it true ?"

Oftentimes on social media users will make "social comparisons." They see what other people are doing or looking like in their photos and think, "I wish I had that" or "I wish I looked like that." It's the "grass is always greener on the other side" type thinking.
Most people don't post the times when they don't look their best or when they're sick. Married couples don't post all the times they get into fights. It's easy for someone single to look at happy couple pictures on a timeline and think they'd feel better "if only they met someone."
Females may see made-up women or just filters like the ones in the video/article and feel self-conscious about their own looks. Males may see men with hard abs and wish they looked like that too. Check out the link to see how quickly some different poses and lighting can change your abs. https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/influencer-josephine-livin-reveals-truth-face-filters-body-morphing-tricks
We often miswant what others are showing on social media. I ...
If someone is criticizing you, you should ask, “Is it true?”
If it’s true, then there’s something you can do (work on it). But if it’s not true, why spend time worrying about their incorrect beliefs?
Many children internalize the criticisms they receive when younger. Some things may have been true, but they blew them up into larger problems than they were. Some critiques are just plain wrong (from people projecting their own issues onto the child).
It’s our responsibility to check to see if something is true or not. Otherwise, we’ll live a whole life thinking incorrect things about who we are.
Know Thyself.
Some misunderstand getting prayers answered or manifesting things and think it’s too easy so it must be incorrect. And they’ll ignorantly make fun of Christianity or the Law of Attraction belief that you can simply “Ask & Receive.” Of course, that comes from simplifying the belief down so much that it makes it incorrect.
In this article I discuss the caveats to getting what you ask for from both the Christian perspective and Law of Attraction perspective.

We all have limiting beliefs that can distort our view of reality. Because I deal with questioning beliefs, I more easily recognized these limiting beliefs in the "woke." I discuss how having limiting beliefs is like going through life with distorting glasses on in this article:

I also share a few things from James Lindsay (newdiscourses.locals.com) if you'd like to learn more about this from a slightly different perspective than mine.
