Get happy…NOW! 😁

Are you in a good mood right now? Great!

A recent study checked into our mood shifts during the day.

Weekdays we’re at our happiest between 6:00-9:00pm because we finally get to unwind from work…on weekends, it’s a LOT earlier…around 11:00am!

They also found what can instantly put us in a good mood…the top ten?

  • A good night’s sleep
  • When the sun comes out
  • Going for a walk
  • Getting a compliment
  • Finding money in your pocket
  • Getting a hug
  • Good weather on the weekend
  • The sound of birds chirping
  • Flowers in bloom
  • Having a snack.  

Hearing “I love you!”, eating a home-cooked meal, sleeping in, the smell of fresh-cut grass, finishing work early, and bumping into an old friend all made the cut. 

What makes you happy?
