We all have moments where we just feel down in the dumps. Here is a way to pick yourself  up out of the doldrums. Its the condition of life.  Sometimes we let life swallow us up whole. We forget that we are part of a greater circle in life. We were not made to be miserable. I am not saying you should smile every minute of the day. I am saying that you should and are entitled to find simple joy in small things. Here  are  8 things that are cost effective that you can do.

1 –Change something in your routine. For tonight’s dinner, put out your best linens, create a centerpiece, or simply light a candle. A festive setting makes for a festive mood.

2 –Get outside. Whenever you feel bored, antsy, or gloomy, go for a walk. The fresh air, changing scenery, and exercise will boost your mood.

3- Bow out gracefully. The next time you argue with someone, be the first person to relent and acknowledge the other person’s point of view. You’ll both be smiling sooner.

4 –Pat a pet. Rub a good dog. Scratch a cat. Pets love us unconditionally and relieve our stress.

5Move your bedtime. Go to bed an hour early tonight. Tomorrow, you’ll wake up with a brighter outlook.
