Happiness Boosters

If you find yourself wallowing in negativity, science says you should do the following to improve your mood: • Volunteer. Donate a few hours to help in your community or give money to a good cause (check charitynavigator.org for ideas). • Flip through photos. Hang a few at eye level throughout your home for quick viewing. • Create a gratitude list. Write down a few things that you are thankful for in your life. Be specific. Tuck the list away and pull it out when you feel a case of the crummies coming on. • Let the light in. Sunshine lifts spirits and aids in sounder sleep at night.
