Are you feeling blue?

You’re not alone. Data shows that over 300 million people globally are affected by some form of depression.

Here are three simple ways to start feeling happier today:

Smile

Smiling can immediately change your mood. Research has proven that, when we grin, the muscles around the face signal the brain that we’re happy. Experts suggest that when you’re feeling down instead of frowning just smile for a minute, you’ll notice the difference!

Be Thankful

Many studies have shown that gratitude is not only linked to happiness but also to overall health. When you’re feeling sad, think about all the wonderful things in your life that you are thankful for.

Take a walk or exercise

Going for a walk or a jog can immediately give you a boost of energy and happiness. Research has proven that when you exercise, a splash of chemicals is released causing you to feel happier and healthier. If jogging or walking is not your thing, why don’t you put your favorite tune on full blast and dance your sadness away!
