1. Take time every day to appreciate what’s right in the world and in
your life.
Research scientists at the Institute of HeartMath have discovered that
generating feelings of gratitude, on purpose, reduces the amount of
damaging stress hormones in your body. And, adopting a habit of
appreciation sets up a positive self-fulfilling prophecy - since you are in the
practice of identifying things to appreciate, you are more likely to
notice those things.

7. Smile more.
Scientists all the way back to Charles Darwin have identified that
different facial expressions have corresponding feelings associated with
them. So, if you want to feel better, turn on a smile and wait for good
feelings to come along!
