2. Set goals for the future. Write them down and come up with a plan for how you will reach them. Having a plan for the future is so important and will prevent you from feeling "stuck."
3. Help someone else. It can be as simple as holding the door for someone at the coffee shop, volunteering your time in your community or sending a card to a friend. Taking time to do something for others always makes me happy.
4. Exercise (c'mon you knew I'd put this on the list!) exercise releases endorphins which are your body's natural mood boosters. Exercise also relieves stress and can help you lose weight. Who isn't happy with less stress and looser pants?!?! So even on the worst day take 20 minutes and exercise! Look how happy I am after my workout!
5. Spend some time with your kids, nieces/nephews, grandkids or other young children you know. Children are full of fun and play. They haven't yet learned about the big stressors in life. Seeing the world through their eyes for even a couple minutes can make you feel refreshed. Speaking as a mom spending more than an hour with them may increase your stress 😁
The three beings that make me the happiest and the most stressed!
