Sometimes life gets us down and it normal to feel the pressure of what life has to offer even when we do have a good life. Everyday wont be sweet as Apple Pie. You may even feel you lack something in life. My advice is to connect with nature. Go outside and breathe in fresh air. It helps to calm the nerves. Also be appreciative of what you have now and you will see the difference!

Sounds like you are feeling depressed. Depression is a mental condition that can happen to anyone regardless of how good or bad life is. Could tell me more about what is making you feel this way?

Emotions don't lie. Ask yourself what do you mean by "Good" life? Is it your definition or imposed on you by others/society/external force. Then ask yourself, when was the last time you were truly happy. Compare your "good life" with that time, and try to see what is missing.

Sometimes, you just can't control what you feel. You can feel happy or sad for no reason at all, it's just your brain. If this goes on for a long time, there could be something causing it, and you might want to check it out. For now, you can accept the fact you feel this way and move on. Sometimes you're just not happy, don't worry, it'll change. For now, accept it and go on, do things that make you feel better

Happiness is subjective, and is not a necessary outcome of having a good life. Be kind to yourself, and seek out little things that you enjoy.

Having a good life doesn't mean you have to be happy. Take depression for example. It can be caused by not having a very good life but depression can also be a biological thing and therefore has no relevance to how good or bad your life is.

Having a good life doesnt necessarily entail that you will also be content with it, there are desires in us which do not fit any labels, sometimes if just wanna stop by a road and take a hike in the woods, sometimes, i just wanna do something truly selfless, to get lost... in a chase to beat life, we often forget to listen to this silly little desires in us, which truly fetch our happiness... Ask yourself what gives you the kick.... Is it just lying on the roof and looking at the sky? or maybe just being one with nature...? Or maybe going on a roadtrip... pick something up and just do it cuz you feel like it... weather its silly or not... Let me know your experience if you wish to :)

Some people like to say happiness is a choice, I disagree. Feelings are always valid, regardless of what they are. It how you approach the feelings is the choice.
Finding activities or people that put you in a good mood is a start. Letting go of the idea that you Need a certain thing in your life to be happy, is my next step. You're an amazing person, you're you, and you don't need anything else.
Lastly, talking about your unhappiness can really be a game changer. Vocalizing what's going on in your head may be the key to realizing it's not worth feeling the way you are.

Sometimes you're too focused on yourself and forget you're part of something bigger. Giving back, talking to others, and just breaking away from your typical routine can help ground you and make you remember that not only is your life great but you can help make other people's lives better.

You are human. By nature humans are not happy. Plus, society does not teach us to be happy, how would they be able to sell things if we were all always content with what we have. Happiness is a learned trait. It takes practice and some faith.
