4. Compliment yourself every morning
You’re a great person, gosh darn it. But sometimes criticism might make you knock yourself down a few pegs — if not the whole ladder. Complimenting yourself isn’t some kind of ego-raising practice, but it’s a refresher that you are you for a reason, and you deserve to feel great about yourself. Forget about the negatives, and focus solely on the positives. Putting just a minute aside to boost yourself up every day will make quite a difference.
5. Create your own LOL playlist
Everyone has a few things that make them crack up, no matter what. It’s really true that laughter is the best medicine — in fact, it removes stress, diminishes tension, and best of all, improves your mood. Having quick access to your ultimate favorite funny videos or TV shows is a great way to naturally feel a lot more calm and a lot less bummed.
