2.Listen to a feel good song: I do this on my way to the gym, at the gym and on my way back from the gym! Regardless if you are working out or not press the play button. Let yourself go and get lost in the music. Let your mind wander and your feet dance!

3. Be Playful: Go for a walk by yourself or with your pet, spend a little extra time playing around with them. Don’t have a pet go to a rescue, and offer to walk or play with an animal. Being active and catching some sun for at least 15 minutes a day is a great way to boost the serotonin levels in your brain and hanging with a cute animal just makes everything better, doesn’t it?

4. Go hug someone: Hugs are a magical thing. Have you ever had the moment when you feel so down and someone asks,

” Is something wrong, can I do something to help?”

Your immediate response is,

“Can I just have a hug.”

A hug can make a bad day better jus knowing you have someone in your corner.
