4 Habits That Will Improve Your Mood

These 4 healthy habits can positively impact your mood.

A good night’s sleep

Aim to get 8 hours of sleep if at all possible.

Time in nature

As little as 15 minutes in nature has been proven to boost mood. Taking a quick walk on your lunch hour is a great way to get this in even during a busy work day.

Eating on time

Drops in blood sugar can lead to changes in mood. Have a quality protein every 4 - 5 hours.

Limiting caffeine and alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol can cause sleep problems that effect mood the next day. In addition, for people that are particularly sensitive to caffeine it can cause anxiety. I know of a friend that went to the emergency room complaining with chest tightness only to realize that day they had two large Starbuck’s drinks. It was a big wake up call for them on how the caffeine was impacting them.
