One of my new songs on my running
playlist is “Happy” by Pharrell. That song always get’s my morning workout
going strong and puts a huge smile on my face!
There’s a great article posted by fabfitfun
that I came across today, sharing 15 tips that will put a smile on your face
and take you to your happy place!
Here are some of my personal favorites from
their list:
Just Dance!
Dancing
is something that has always made me happy and I fit in as many classes as I
can. But you don’t have to take a class to dance- put on your favorite song,
dance around the room for a few and you’ll see how you can boost your mood in
those few quick minutes- try it as soon as you wake up and you’ll start your
day off right!
Make a Happy List!
I
like this idea and I’m going to do it for myself today. It’s so simple: make a
list of everything you love. People, places, color, songs…anything! The article
says to see how many you can come up with in 10 minutes, carry the list with
you all day and reread it every time you want a boost of happy!
Hug It Out!
Squeeze
a friend or loved one, they say for at least 6 seconds, and you can’t deny
feeling warm and happy!
Eat Chocolate!
Studies
show chocolate works to cheer you up by releasing feel-good neurotransmitter,
serotonin, in the brain. Choose dark chocolate with 75% - 85% cacao and look
for raw, organic, or fair trade so that the sweets you’re eating are unprocessed
and sustainable as possible. Yum!
Other ways to boost your daily dose
of happy include looking at photographs of you and your friends, plying outside
like a kid, a quick workout or walk, and even watching youtube videos of
puppies!
