My favorites on this list are: #5 GO OUTSIDE - Making time to go outside on a nice day also delivers a huge advantage; one study found that spending 20 minutes outside in good weather not only boosted positive mood, but broadened thinking and improved working memory… #2 Sleep More - You’ll be less sensitive to negative emotions #1. EXERCISE MORE – 7 MINUTES MIGHT BE ENOUGH. patients treated their depression with exercise.The groups were then tested six months later to assess their relapse rate. Of those who had taken the medication alone, 38 percent had slipped back into depression. Those in the combination group were doing only slightly better, with a 31 percent relapse rate. The biggest shock, though, came from the exercise group: Their relapse rate was only 9 percent! #3. MOVE CLOSER TO WORK – Our commute to the office can have a surprisingly powerful impact on our happiness. The fact that we tend to do this twice a day, five days a week, makes it unsurprising that its effect would build up over time and make us less and less happy. 8. PLAN A TRIP – BUT DON’T TAKE ONE. the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES?
