12 things to put you in an INSTANT good mood



-exercise: we've all heard it. this number ONE tip experts give for boosting your mood..fast. plus it gives you more energy. ben and i have been trying to go to the gym together daily and we get at least another hour out of our day.
-eat breakfast: it will prevent grumpiness and help you perform.
-speak up: being assertive enhances self confidence and shuts down feelings of helplessness.
-focus on making memories: researchers found that 57% of people reported they were happier when they spent money on an experience. 
-go outside: just five minutes of walking in the great outdoors has beneficial effects. i need it to be summer so we can go on BIKE RIDES.
-hug it out: it is critical that we have some sort of physical affection in your life.
-face your challenges: who would have thought? actually doing the things on your to-do list is beneficial. the more you put things off, the more anxious you are. no bueno.
-say something nice: compliment people! and do it a lot.
-be grateful: have an attitude of gratitude. and make sure that you write things down that you are grateful for.
-savor your snapshots: take the time to look at those photos you have on your refrigerator and taped to your computer.
-less white stuff: sugar and flour can lead to an energy and mood crash.
-remember to laugh: tell jokes, laugh at jokes, and laugh at yourself.

I have to agree going out side and exercising is probably one of the main things that makes me happy. Not to mention making memories is always something you can look back on that will make you smile :)
