1. Travel. And it doesn’t need to be expensive and elaborate. A weekend getaway would be enough to clear your mind.
2. Meet new people. New friendships open new horizons. They have the power to change us for the better.
3. Get fit. “Mens sana in corpore sano” or “a healthy mind in a healthy body.”
4. Be honest and open. Spontaneity is everything. You don’t have to live by the book.
5. Live in the present moment. Don’t beat yourself up about the past and don’t worry about the future.
6. Stay away from negativity. Cut off any form of toxicity, be it a friend, lover, hobby, family member.
7. Release yourself from your burdens. Spend your time doing things that fill your soul and make you happy.
8. Take a week off. Turn off your phone. Focus on yourself. Pamper yourself. Make yourself a dinner. Go on shopping. Watch Netflix. Do anything you love doing.
9. Be who you are. If you want to wear sneakers instead of high heels – wear sneakers. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and more like yourself without caring about what others may think.

11. Clean your home. It will instantly improve your mood.
12. Eat healthy for one whole month. Then, it will become a habit and it will do wonders for your health and your mood in general.
