We all probably know people who are constantly upbeat, happy, and energized everyday. Do you ever wonder how you can feel more like this on a daily basis? There are many easy and simple ways to increase your feelings of contentment and joy.

Find out a few quick ways to boost your mood every morning.

(1) Get a good night sleep. Go to bed early enough so you can get at least 6-8 hours of sleep. Getting a good night sleep is a key to having a positive and productive day.

(2) Turn off your snooze button on the alarm clock after one ring. Try to get out of bed quickly after it has rung. Continually hitting the snooze button will make you feel annoyed, and it can quickly put you in an aggravated mood.

(3) Create a playlist of your favorite songs. Pick songs that make you feel good, lift you up, and create positive feelings. Play this list of songs while you are brushing your teeth, putting your make up on, and doing other things to get ready in the morning.

(4) Avoid watching depressing news in the morning. Depressing and sad news can affect your mood and make you feel upset. Instead, watch a funny program such as Ellen or a game show.

(5) Go on a walk or exercise before you go to work or school. If you have a dog take him or her with you on the walk. Exercise and spending time with pets has been shown to improve mood and create positive feelings in people.
