Be grateful
Write down three things that you’re grateful for at the moment. They don’t even have to be big things. Think of the sun that just shone, or a compliment that you’ve received. Writing down the things that you are grateful for, preferably every night, makes it a lot easier to be more positive in life.
Laugh
Not only real laughter has an effect on your happiness hormones, fake laughter too! Various scientific studies have shown that a fake smile can also help you to come out of a dip. This can be a laugh out loud, but smiling for a few minutes also works. So, put a smile on your face!
Dance
Put on your favorite song and enjoy dancing around your house. Just shake everything off and clear your mind! You’ll see that you feel a lot lighter and happier after five minutes. Experiencing positive emotions can regulate negative feelings.
Buy flowers
Research from the Association for Psychological Science shows that the scent of flowers can give you a feeling of happiness. And not only that, a fresh bunch of flowers creates liveliness in your interior and immediately creates a cozy atmosphere. Just by looking at all the colors you will be happier! So what are you waiting for?
