1. Drink more water. Dehydration can make you grumpy & the quickest fix is a big glass of water. Add a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lime for more fun!
2. Smile! Then watch people smile back!
3. Take a nap. Sleep deprived people are not fun to be around. Take a ten minute nap & wake up feeling refreshed & ready to go.
4. Go for a walk. Or jog! Preferably somewhere peaceful & quiet, like a park or along a river. Just get outside in the fresh air! Exercise is a sure-fire way to improve your mood & release endorphins. The twilight hours are the best time of day for this.
5. Wear bright colours. Or something in your favourite colour. Put on a pair of rainbow coloured socks & celebrate!
6. Give to charity. Or volunteer. Sometimes, it feels nice to simply be nice. Doing a good deed for someone else will make you feel warm & fuzzy & will put life’s problems into perspective.
7. Laugh. Watch your favourite comedy, a funny video on youtube, read a joke or browse through LOLcats! Get some laughter into your life!
8. Talk to a friend. They’re your friend for a reason; they like you & they’ll listen to you. Simply being able to talk about your problems can sometimes make you feel much better.
9. Give someone a hug. Hugs are awesome & they feel great! Share the love!
10. Eat some dark chocolate. Or an oat cookie. The tryptophan in oats will lift your mood. Everyone knows that bit of chocolate is a super delicious way to bring a smile to your face. It could be that all you needed was a bit of a blood-sugar boost!
11. Take a deep breath. Sometimes we forget to breath properly. Take a deep, full breath & slow down for a second of two. Feel how good that was? Easy!
12. Take a bath. Sit in the warm water & relax. Let any bad or disturbing thoughts wash away & disappear down the plug-hole.
13. Listen to music. Put on some of your favourite upbeat tunes. I like 99 luft balons & Friday I’m in love!
14. Look up. Looking at the sky is an easy way to improve your mood.
15. Remember that the Universe loves you!
