Let's get happy!

I've been holding onto the January 2011 issue of Glamour for some time now.  It's time to get a few things off my chest.  You see there's a fabulous article that I keep coming back to:  Fifty Things to Put You in an Instant Good Mood.  I'm not going to share the entire fabulous list, but I am going to share a few that definitely stand out and a sure fire way to get you happy!
  • Exercise
  • Eat breakfast: prevent grumpiness
  • Speak up: be assertive
  • Do less: relax
  • Focus on making memories
  • Go outside
  • Hug it out
  • Face your challenges
  • Say something nice
  • Be grateful
  • Set a smarter bedtime: get at least 7 hours of sleep per night
  • Saver your snapshots: photos on the fridge and inspiration (I do this!)
  • Eat every 3 to 4 hours; snacks are good
  • Less white stuff:  sugar and flour can lead to an energy and mood crash
  • Don't have the same lunch every day (I do this and need to switch it up)
  • Smile
  • Stand up straight
  • Don't wear shoes that hurt (no matter how sexy they look)
  • Essie Nail Polish in Castaway
  • Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in Wild Blossom

Bookmark this list for future reference!  Enjoy.  I'd love to know what stands out to you...

    Love the idea behind this Heather.. I still need to practice a few of them, but exercise is the top of my list, nothing feels more good than working out your thoughts during a workout while jamming out to an ipod.

    love this! I'm going to add some more photos of people I love to my fridge :) I definitely think "hug it out" is a winner!

    I *love* this list Heather! I'm going to get my issue out again! I often get in a rut, and just let it take hold of me. Such great advice!

    The smarter bedtime is definitely something I need to work on. Actors never get enough sleep. :-)

    I also completely agree with the shoe idea--wearing shoes that hurt, even if they are beautiful, never makes me feel quite as fabulous as I want to; and who wants to torture their body on purpose all day?

    Can get behind all of them but the shoe one- I have frequently sacrificed comfort at the altar of fashion, and will likely do so again willingly. I have a pair of absolutely stunning lace and sequin pumps that are basically miniature vices on my feet, and I usually wear them while forcibly holding back the tears. Why? Because 1)they consistantly get rave reviews, and 2) I own stock in the company that manufactures Advil.
