5 More Habits for a New You

1. Make a list of places near you & fun outdoor activities that make you happy. Plan on going to at least one place and do one fun activity every week. Get in your groove - and let your happy shine.

2. Grab a friend and go a little crazy - let your inhibitions go, be in the moment, and experience it fully. Even going to the movies can drown out your anxious thoughts & stressful mood.

3. Find ways to laugh more - everyday. This boosts your happy hormones, and reduces stress.

4. Listen to your favorite music or have a beautiful sing-a-long. Music has been proven to lift your mood, especially upbeat rhythms. Or, slow it down for a calming affect. And, don't forget to dance - move to your favorite funky jams. Dancing is exercise which adds additional health benefits.

5. Make time to relax - read a book, relax in a hammock, or take a leisurely walk in the sunshine. The vitamin D will give you an extra health boost. A water feature that cascades over the rocks will really enhance your calm vibes.
