Smile & Laugh

Laughter & Yoga
* Smile & Laugh (Experts say that even the gesture of smiling and curving your mouth up can shift your mood.)
* Move (Get some exercise to release serotonin.)
* Write (Journaling or any writing exercise provides serenity and inner calm that carries you throughout the day. Try blogging.)
* Sing (Preferably at the top of your lungs!) I make up songs to sing to my dog Sparky.
* Listen (Get out of your head and yourself by actively listening to others.) I find out interesting things about others like Valerie and Martha.
* Dance & Yoga (Fit-Twist Yoga & Dance = proven antidepressant. Studies show yoga & dance boosts happiness and benefits overall health.)
* Create (Research has shown that being creative improves our mood, self esteem and socialization.) I just created my Dream Book.
* Rest (We often don’t get enough of it. Optimal sleeping conditions include dark, cool, and silent.)
* Drink water (Hydrate regularly throughout the day.) I love coconut water!
* Breathe deeply (This is calming, improves the detoxification, relieves anxiety, lowers blood pressure and has many more emotional and physical benefits.) In yoga, we breathe deeply & slowly.
* Be still (Meditation can be the best option when you want to change your mood. Slowing down even for a few minutes calms your mind and invites in peace.) Altered from Source: www.ladieswholaunch.com
