Easy, Enjoyable ways to Improve Your Mood

There is evidence that the following activities cause some (small) changes in our body that can actually improve our mood.

• Take a walk outside.
• Get some sunshine. Exercise--even a few minutes is helpful.
• Spend time laughing.
• Talk to someone supportive.
• Hug someone you love.
• Think about things you are grateful for.
• Pray.
• Meditate.

Please keep in mind that these activities will not treat or "cure" depression. You must see a doctor for that. Try these in addition to your prescribed treatment--or if you are not depressed, but just want to feel a little better.
