boolean tryagain = true;
while(tryagain)
{

if(ans.equals("good"))
{
...
tryagain = false;
}
...

}


traagain will remain true and the loop will continue to run until you make it false

...
while(true)   //infinite loop
{
    cout << "How is your day " << name << endl;
    cin >> ans;
// if (ans.eguals("good"))
    if (ans == "good")
    {
	cout << "Thats good, enjoy the rest of your day" << endl;
        break;    //here it will exit the loop the same for all the else if
    }
...
    else
    {
	cout << "sorry thats none of the choices try good, fine, bad, great, or terible, thank you" << endl;
         continue;     //will reloop (test the condition and since it's true reloop)
    }
}




P.S.: in line 38 you mistyped hear


Edit: or you can do like Gkneeus told you
