Feeling a little blue?
Here are ten fast and easy ways to smile.
感觉有些郁闷吗？以下十种方法快速简单，让你马上露出微笑。
1. Play outside 外出游玩
Leave your apartment and go outside. Sun and fresh air are good for you.
2. Exercise
When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical called endorphins.
This chemical makes you feel happier.
That is just another reason why exercise is good for you.
3. Have a Heart-to-Heart
If something is bothering you, it is a good idea to talk about it.
Call a friend or relative. A good chat is great way to feel better fast.
4. Play Pop Music
Westlife, Backstreet Boys, S.H.E…who doesn’t like a little mindless pop?
Listening to upbeat, happy music will make you smile.
Singing along won’t hurt either.
5. Laughter is the best medicine
Laughing is the best way to improve your mood.
Children laugh around 400 times a day.
Adults only laugh about 20 times a day. What happened?
Be a kid for a day: play games, watch funny movies, or read jokes online.
6. Power of Chocolate
Chocolate has special natural chemicals that make you happy.
Plus, it tastes so good!
7. Draw
Be an artist!
Draw, paint, or make something.
Even if it is not perfect, being creative relieves stress.
8. Get a dog
Dogs are cute, energetic, and fun.
Plus, studies show that people with pets live longer
and people with dogs live the longest!
9. Breathe
If you can’t go to the gym, try taking deep breaths.
Breathing deeply will relax your muscles and give you energy.
10. Think positive
Close your eyes and think of a beautiful scene
or a time when you were happy and feeling good.
